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.

I would suspect your car is one of very few Mk8s that has the mileage warranting a camchain replacement. You are a potential pioneer so take photos of the stripdown.

Mileage ? Does your Honda have the book with service history stamps ?

And the previous owner ? (and how long they owned it, should be on the V5C)

My tourer seems to have zero corrosion underneath, a 2005 with 180k+ the clock. It might be one or more of your previous owners was living near the coast, in which case the rot is unlikely to be stopped without taking the whole car apart.

Is the steering wheel in the boot ?

I did suggest that earlier. Despite Accord owners having the experience to fix things, Civic cars have a secret handshake thing going on with their owners.

https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/accord-2-0-petrol-2007.27373/ Wider wheels/tyres would only exacerbate fuel consumption unltil the underlying issue is fixed.

Civics have their own anomalies, my works colleague has asked me many times as a Honda expert and I have declined (as many times) Are you in other forums more suited ~?
