Hi all I know I've never been what you'd call an active poster, but I've always had some great support & advice offered in years gone by, it would seem the forum has gone silent though, I've posted up a couple of requests in the SOS section which have been up for some time with no replies, I must admit I have asked more questions than I have been able to answer as I'm not the most mechanically gifted individual. Each time I've been on in the last week I've noted I am the only member online, just guest users, has everyone abandoned the forum in favor of the dreaded social media? heck I'm on facebook myself in a few civic groups, but the platform is fairly useless when it comes to information & guides as well as the real community atmosphere you get on the forum(s), I've seen it with other interest forums I use in hobbies, a massive decline in traffic & active members. I really hope we don't forget these forums are the backbone of our hobbies, social media is not the be all & end all, all the instant gratification is short lived. I hope we can see this place more active again going forward & if anyone has some advice on my SOS threads I'd surely appreciate any help anyone could offer.

Got there in the end Simon, she's not 100% leak free & has a new headliner to boot, now the long list of other things to deal with, I'll get there though

Hi mate, sorry I've not been around. Health has been crap since end of last year and we moved house (deffo the last time this time!) so not had time to get on here. I posted up seeing if there was any interest in a club stand at one of the classic car shows, but only two cars up for it. Bit of a downer but hey ho! Lol Would love to get a meet organised for the summer, still a lot of original members here but also a lot of new faces with new civic Ms that we haven't seen before. Might put a wee post up on here and the FB group (don't worry, I hate social media as much as you! Forums FTW!) see if we get any interest. Glad to see you're still in the forum and club mate, just wish we could get the forum busier but everyone seems to be over on Social media now.

recently became member of this forum (1-1,5 year ago). It's a pitty that it's so quiet. I found some answers all this time from this community by searching old posts but i't not that simple, it's a bit tiring. Anyway I hope to get live again, our love for hondas is endless❤️🎌

Totally agree mate. It's a nightmare trying to find stuff out about the stepwagon. There is a UK forum but there's hardly any content on it...everything seems to be on Facebook, but as you say it's rubbish for finding stuff unless you spend hours searching and stumble on something relevant. I'm keeping away from Facebook again nowadays.. Find it a real waste of energy.

Yes, it's a shame. It's the same for basically every kind of specialist forum these days unfortunately. The barrier for entry is lower for posting on facebook, even though it's an abysmal format for specialist discussion. It's ok for asking questions, but thats about it. Any kind of long term logging of knowledge like this forum is full of is not compatible with their engagement/advertising driven format. Probably less said about that the better.

20 years that's some going & must also be some dedication Simon, I've seled the other top areas around the rear of the weather strips right at the back quarter below the roof rails, it p**sed it down today & the area that was getting all the water on the drivers side is dry as a bone, I did however still find maybe 10 to 20ml of water in the wheel well that had drained down from the side to side seal there, the one under the boot catch & inside the well, I'm hoping that it's just residual water from the previous day slowly making it's way out, but I plan to get the hose on it again to check it, but may not have to after looking at the weather report, seems p**sing it down again for a few hours tomorrow, so one way or another I'll find out if there's still a small leak, if there is I am now clutching at straws on where the heck it could be getting in, but I really want to eliminate every single leak no matter how small, fingers crossed but it's not the easiest of areas to check with no exterior seal there or any obvious areas above now where it could be getting in. if it is still leanking a tiny bit I have a hunch it's inside the tail light where the panels join, but I have looked at them very closely & although they look a bit ropey on the photo, I can't see as much as a 1mm gap anywhere, but will be getting a little tiger seals on them just in case.
