Only a diesel here, but I had scrape/wear marks on the wiper area of the throttle position sensor (about 4.30 on the image) that meant the car would have a wobble if I left the pedal for too long at a certain position After seven years of using good electricval cleaner on the contacts outside...

Not forgetting the cost of a decent oil change before the service interval on an unknown engine will pay the owner back in spades.

Not thicker oil........

Completely alien dials / dashboard to my 05 estate but similar mileage for the year difference. I've had almost a decade of fun with mine. How much and did you get the service history ?

Thank you. It is quite an eye opener to see the various clutch options from aftermarket suppliers marked with identical Honda reference numbers, though I ***ume the genuine box of parts was somewhat more than £120. The only common links are the diameter - 240mm - and the number of bits in the...

Sounds like an internal alarm at the beginning (doors ?) Can you put the mobile nearer the engine ?

Thank you.

Ah, misread your post earlier. So there is a third variant.

Thank you. I will go back to the supplier and check since they are probably not mechanics. The two part numbers are side by side on the link below https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304331056022 Is there anyone here that can give pointers on how to tell the difference ? I have asked for additional...

OK Time for a replacement as the last trip out was scary with slip in every gear unless being gentle. Whilst I think £200 is unrealistic are there any garages nearby that can do the deed for under £500 ? I have checked the subframe under the radiators and all good. I will risk not chaging the...

I trust you have done the alcohol rubbing in all places to remove any dirt and oil from any area after replacing things (do you have greasy hands ?) Is there a fluid loss that might end up in the right hand area (engine/gearbox/steering pump/clutch/coolant/brakes/aircon) ? Legacy Estates -...

Then warnings are the best the o/p can hope for before another classic is scrapped.

+1 on the lower ball joint, it may even be the lower nut has started unscrewing (which I found when the split pin had fallen out)

If you do get the noise (and it has only just started), then a full drain of old oil, new filter and fluid should keep you going for a while, with total cost around £70 . From my experience with engine chains, they will give out only after there is a different change of noise from them as the...

A fix for DVD players is to use a piece of spaghetti with a bit of cotton wool attatched. (or a long cotton wool bud, but where to get ones that don't shed debris inside the carriage mechanism ) ?

Perhaps a rusty bolt in the boot area. Is there a possibility somebody fitted a towbar ?

I replaced my alternator for one of these sometime last year, and have had no problems. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/365619111594 The only difference is the supplied pulley is slightly smaller in diameter than the original that makes the serpentine belt pass very close between two of the runs.

Could the seller have a spare one in the boot ?

A thought, will it be prudent to change the oil chain at the same time, ala Mk7s ?

The saloon and tourer doortrims may be different.
