You'll find a wiring diagram in the service manual here : https://civic5.com/forum/files/file/1-honda-civic-1995-2000-aerodeck-service-manual At least for the civic anyway.

Thanks anyway, but I have a Haynes manual for the Civic. Would like to check the Mirrors Wiring Diagram of the Rover 400, though... I'm not going to buy an entire manual just to look at one Diagram :/

So found my mirrors - they're from a Rover 45 for reference. Photos below of the plug/wiring, if the mirrors on the website are like these they should just plug straight in, but I wouldnt know if they'd work straight away. You'll probably need to get a wiring diagram for both cars to match the wires up. A quick search suggests that the two black wires are for the heated mirror element.

Hello Dave, thanks for your fast reply :) I will definitely do your checks. But please wait a bit. I am pretty busy every day so it will take time. The car has always been in perfect condition. No previous issues were known before doing that big maintenance on the car. I don't know if the head was checked before the new gasket was fitted (I think yes, see below) In the meantime I would have a clarification. What do you mean with "the airlock"? Do you mean a bubble inside the coolant circuit? I unscrewed a bit the radiator cap with the engine on normal working temperature and some coolant has gone out. I think there is no bubble inside. Anyway I can redo the same test if you think it needs to be done again. Tomorrow I'm going to check if the the heater gives a good heat inside the c**kpit and if I have enough time I will try to check if the radiator fan kicks in by put on ground the wire; that's because now is really cold and is hard to makes the engine reach a temperature beyond the 100C Last but not least I have retrieved the invoice which list what components have been changed (note: I have used an online translator); the components that have been changed are: item codes and description from google (not sure if I can post links.

Anyway I remember that the mechanic said something about the head. Maybe they have dismounted it to perform other jobs like changing the belts? Thanks again David, have a good day

Slight update - Finally got round to removing the rear wiper and followed the guide from here. If anyone else does this, removing bothside trims on the boot definitely helps and you cant get away with just removing one! Managed to find a nice aluminium bung which uses O-rings as a seal. Think it tidies up the rear nicely but highlights just how rubbish the paintwork is on the car! Other than that I think future mods are going to have to wait - bloody Covid and all the uncertainty it's bringing. Cant really justify spending lots if things are going to get tough with work etc. Cheers, Dan

Hi there, Are your current mirrors heated? I would imagine that its 3 pins for non-heated and 5 pins for heated. The Rover mirrors should work - not sure if they'd be plug and play though, the wires in the plug might need some moving around. I'm sure i've got some Rover mirrors here somewhere.. I'll have a hunt and see what the differences are. Cheers, Dan
