Shame it's not an aerodeck I'd like to see what it's like underneath thought. Could still be bad, all depends where it's been stored all it's life

Good to hear your health has improved Frunkster ......once you fit the new sensor your car should be back to full health. (I too had similar symptoms until I replaced the o2 sensor). I used the Motability scheme for 21 years but decided against new cars seeing as I only clock up 20/30 miles p.w. I replaced a beautiful new car for what can only be described as a bullet proof car (X reg Civic).....it has never let me down over 4 years. Good luck with your health and car.

Hello guys, I have to make a huge & sincere apology, I have not been back on to respond to the topic due to some serious health issues that had me thinking about other things than cars for several month, very very sorry about not getting back sooner, as I always reply to my posts on any forum, I hope you can forgive my tardiness. I really do appreciate the input & will be looking at getting a replacement O2 sensor sorted asap, as the standing water bit sounds like the same issue dr broon fingers crossed that'll sort the old girl out, just had all the underside welded & reinforced, so she should keep on going for a good few more years =)

Hey guys, very long time since I’ve been on here but you’re not forgotten by a long shot!! still got the civic on the drive but I’m after assistance for a mates golf if possible (if there’s a better section for this please advise me) mk4 golf, 1.4, 16v.... wanting to put a new engine in, like for like... does anyone know if it will be just a straight swap, drop in and go... or will there be imobilizer issues or other programming issues to deal with? any help appreciated, thanks guys!

Browsing ebay and found this. Looks amazing condition with only 18.000 miles on the clock, two owners from new. Very hard to find one like this, but don't think I could justify.........£6495 for an MB6! Still, would love to own this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Civic-1-8-VTI-Very-Low-Mileage-ONLY-18K-Service-History-Lot-of-paperwork/233074530457?hash=item3644531899:g:VQUAAOSwTY9buQTO:rk:4:pf:0 Pic of the car

Seen this a few times, price was well over £7K to start with! Does look really mint though, I'd love one that still feels new despite being 20 years old.

Crikey! That's one box fresh mb6! Barely ran in. Six and a half is a lot, but if it's a good as it seems.... Still probably too steep though. I wonder if the iabs have ever opened

Thanks for all the kind words guys, you are a caring bunch on here which is a refreshing change =) Well plans scuppered for another day, the pipe from the power steering top up tank just sprung a leak yesterday, so the funds have been diverted to that 1st, also a bush at the back needs replacing, can't grumble the good old girl never lets me down mechanically & luckily I also have the 1.5 aerodeck as an emergency back up. I had been suggested I replace the dizzy, but had a sneaking suspicion it was not that, so the O2 sensor will get done 1st,if the problem persists it'll be the dizy thats next on the cards. Not got the engine management light coming on when I get the problem BTW. Bloody hell a heart attack just last week,I hope you are taking it easy Dave. I'd not want a new car myself TBH Gel, I would not change the VTI for anything even if I had money to throw at vehicles endlessly, if that were the case I'd get this on stripped to the bear bones & rebuilt from scratch, well maybe with the addition of a P30 & a little toying with the power lol, but I have a bike if I feel like going a little crazy, not that I do that often now I'm getting on a bit. Will get this bush & power steering pipe sorted & then the o2 sensor will be getting sorted. I'll report back when done to confirm if it's sorted the issue.

No need to apologize mate, we've all been there (me included! Had a heart attack last week!) so health takes priority over everything. Hope you get it sorted soon, but if it turns out not to be the 02 sensor it could well be the ignitor in the distributor. Do you get the engine management light coming on when the fault happens?

Hope you're doing better now bud. Hopefully it does sort it, it's an irritating issue. I ended up taking mine to an exhaust place to get it fitted as my usual mechanic couldn't get the old one shifted.

I would of thought it'd be a straight swap as you'd still be using all your old ecu key ect.. just make sure the engine codes match up and you should be fine

Ok sounds good I will join up on there and get my old golf project going will be good to see everyone else’s projects too

A few long over due photos.
