Hi Guys, I have checked both of the things you mentioned. I even replaced the battery in the keyfob just to make sure. I checked all the door stops and latches and all are fine. What I find odd is that when it was not working when I used the key to lock the door the alarm would not arm and the...

More strangeness. went out for a drive. came back an tried the fob. it is working again. also the alarm arms when using the key too. so it is an alarm problem. hope this does not keep happening. anybody else have a similar issue?

Hello again guys. Thought I would come to the brain trust this this as I am stuck. Remote central locking has worke grand upto today. Locked the car last night with no problems. Tried to unlock today and no joy. I have a feeling this has something to do with the alarm as once I unlocked it with...

First off, do you take great pics of everything????? you are like a one man haynes :D Now that I know that it is not a drum handbrake I can say that my brakes are not the issue as they were just changed about a month ago and the problem was there long before that. so that has narrowed it down...

I will do the cable first. There is play in the handbrake lever anyway before it even gets to the first click so there is some slack in the cable. I do suspect it is the brake its self but if I am not mistaken the handbrake is not connected to the pads at all but a break shoe inside the disk at...

That is great Andy. Anything that saves me stripping the components suits me fine.

That is a great how-to buddy. thabk you very much for it. will probably have a go next week.

Hey everyone, Searched all over the site and cannot find anything specific to the 6th gen. Can anybody give me some pointers on how to adjust the handbrake cable. there is some play in the lever, quite a bit actually. don't know if I need to adjust the cable or replace the handbrake altogether...

Hi Martin, Can I ask where did you get a haynes manual for the car. I believe I am not the only one and am open to correction, who cannot find one for love nor money. There is one for the US model but not the European. Andy

When I did it on my 1.8 as per your step by step guide the valve was easy to get off. once the bolts are undone it lifts right off. The pain in the a*s was the plate. I had to remove the whole fuel rail and injectors to get at it. took 3 hrs all in all to do. Will take half that should I have to...

Hey Simon I know it is. I am sorry if I gave the impression that it was not. i was thankful for it at the time I did mine, I believe I thanked you for it, But your car is a 2.0 and it is slightly different on the 1.8. Again sorry if it was not clear that it was not my own Andy

Hi Paul, Here is the link for the EGR cleaning. The one thing it does not mention is to make sure you do the EGR ports as well as the Valve. I did it on mine. The valve was bad but the ports were so clogged up I could stand a screw driver up in them. Like yourself I have a 1.8 not the 2.0 that...

I have not. did a full service in July on the car but did not have the means to get the car level enoough to accurately check or fill the gearbox. about that LUK part number. I can source that here in Ireland for €110. was not sure if they were any good or not for that price.

Hi Guys, Quick question. Is there anybody out there who has changed a clutch on a 1.8 engine. just wanted to know how difficult it is? Also can anybody tell me how to adjust the clutch cable on these. When I have the clutch pedal fully pressed down and lift is slowly I can feel a rubbing in it...

Hi Guys, I have been all over the forum and I cannot find the answer I am looking for. Not a specific one anyway and oddly there is not a VTEC section that I am aware of. Maybe an idea for the future. I have a 2001 1.8 and ever since I bought the car I am not aware of the VTEC kicking in...

Not saying a word :rolleyes:

Hi John Handy having a battery to try. Not sure what damage, if any, using a bigger battery will do to your car. Just looked at the owners manual and the battery suggested by honda is a 12 V - 55AH/20R for the 1.8, 2.0, 2.2 and 2.3 engines. so it is possible you have an underpowered battery on...

Hey John I am surprised the car started with that low a voltage but it is a Honda :D . I honestly think that battery is the issue here. The alternator is pushing charge to it but it is not holding it. If I was to hazard a guess as to why I will say that I have come across a lot of battery...

Probably stating the obvious here but the fact that the battery voltage goes up when the car is ticking over tells me that the alternator is pushing charge to the Battery. I would put money on it either being a duff battery, a light (like the boot or glove compartment light) staying on, a bad...

I will have to invest in a that tool. Just a quick update. I finished the service. All went well. The Fuel Filter was easy once the system was depressurized. Although one of the bolts holding it in sheared off due to rust. It does not appear to have ever been changed, which I find odd on a car...
