Stick to a C2 oil (low saps not needed). The additives in low saps are actually a little abrasive and used to help break down the ash.

I think you genuinely might be the first to ever tackle this. Well done.

I would go with refurbishment

Sounds like ecu is not waking up for some reason, and the glow plug light is indicating when that happens. Maybe a faulty ecu. If you can get a matching part number, I can clone these.

Sounds like it’s not detecting the key. Have you got a spare key? Does it do the same thing with both keys? If so then I’m guessing it has a faulty receiver unit (never changed one myself but normally they’re around the ring of the barrel on most cars of this era)

I wouldn’t be so quick to change the relay, ensure it has gas and that it doesn’t have a faulty pressure switch.

That’s really a very kind endorsement, I’m glad we were able to put a smile on your face. Thank you and enjoy :)

That looks like the right one from the picture.

Pre facelift like yours is a Bosch unit, I can’t remember the part number but as long as it’s a Bosch metal canister unit you should be ok.

Was there any evidence of metal filings when you did the gearbox oil? These aren’t known for gearbox issues. If you’re sure it’s the gearbox then you might want to try some additive to see if it quietens down, but failing that I would say a used box is probably cheap enough so just source and...

I was going to say this is either a damaged egt sensor (seen it when cowboys have tried gutting the dpf and damaged the sensor), or sensor wiring damaged or not plugged in. Looks like it was just the latter for you.

Welcome

I wasn’t suggesting you change your bonnet sensor blind like that, merely stating that on our car it was that. It needs to go on a dealer system to check the logs and understand what the last triggers were. I can do this or you can take to Honda if easier.

It’s really not for me to comment guys, and I certainly am not in a position to offer any comfort around other people’s work. If you’re confident you’re getting a proper job then you take your chances. Best of luck.

You absolutely should not be driving it in this state, and hopefully wherever you’re taking it actually has experience with these cars. I’ve had to solve many bodges over the years.

Avoid a further regen, you’re causing untold damage to your turbo every time you do one.

Nope you should just hear the clutch engage.

Yes run a fly lead from the battery positive terminal direct to the positive connector on the compressor, when you touch the pin it will energise the clutch.

you can try manually triggering the clutch with a positive lead direct from your battery terminal, with engine off.

If you can’t hear it clicking then chances are it’s goosed.
