    Yeah, deffo another vote for the Climairs, better quality and superior fit compared to Team Heko and others.

    Need to see pics of this mate, sounding good so far!

    Deffo worth it! DD was out the other night away into the middle of nowhere to pick up a pool table. Roads were all single track to a wee house that's in the middle of the hills. Was pitch dark and totally off grid. The roads (more like tracks tbh!) were shocking but she did it. Now covered in mud all over life a rally car! Defo not shiny like Tubs!😁

    Absolutely outstanding work mate, that's better than some garages I know! Back to being one solid MB, no rust to worry about on that one now. Really enjoying watching an reading your progress mate, amazing write up and photos.😎👍

    As Simon said mate, it would be hard to tell from photos of them if they'll actually fit. On saying that, there is some similarities between the sedan and the Civic Ms depending if it's the ek/ej based on or the Domani based one. Domain ones might have a chance of fitting I think, but again I wouldn't put money on it! Lol

    Good shout mate, I'll se about getting this added to FAQ. And thank you, cracking info there!

    Looking forward to the updates mate. How hard was it to remove the fuel filler pipe from the car and also the tank? DDs is looking like it needs a good clean up and been wanting to take the tank out for a while to get it cleaned up and protected. Know they are like hens teeth!

    Tubs is looking amazing! What a depth to that shine mate!

    Oh, and bit of an oversight on my part, didn't realise it at the time but her insurance ran out on the day we drove into Edinburgh! 😲 Didn't even get a renewal letter/email! On the plus side, went looking for a new quote and actually got her insurance way cheaper than it's ever been so well happy. Went with OneCall, same company I've got Lexy insured with. Turns out Gayle has Foxy her wee Micra with them too. Bit of a high excess though at £350, but hey-ho would rather have the cheaper premium and take that hit if the worst comes. All in, with breakdown cover, protected no claims, legal cover, courtesy car etc fully comp is £197, although because I'm doing it monthly comes in at £206. Pretty decent!

    Had the gritters out a couple of times lately up here too so keeping DD well away from it lol. Did have her out for a run into Edinburgh last week to pick up a kitchen island (she's such a "practical classic" lol) and she drove nice. Funny how small she felt after driving the TypeS! Even though she's the biggest car we have, we both commented the design of her made her feel smaller. Dashboard isn't as deep as new cars, so windscreen is much closer to you, that kind of thing. Was nice to be driving her again though!

    Welcome mate. Nice looking Aerodeck that, looks clean. Things to prevent on these... rust,rust and rust! Rear arches, sills at rear and also inner sills. They also rust away from left to right along the boot floor, kinda up behind the tank out of sight. Mechanics wise, usual thing like giving them a good service to keep them on song. Your timing belt is probably due changing too.

    Indicator issues

    Dave replied to Dan wade's question in SOS! Help!!

    I've banned the IP mate. Maybe give you a call at the weekend and show you how to do it. Have noticed the admin panel is hardr to navigate on the tablet compared to the laptop.

    My MB2 at abberton reservoir
    Was mint man, should deffo have kept her!
  17. Dave
    Meantto update this lol. Not much happening in DDs world at the moment since I bought TypeS aka Lexy2 as my daily driver. DD now being kept as the classic, so tucked up for winter now. No more salty roads for her!
  18. Dave
    Wow! Mate that's amazing! Pm me how much you'd like for it please! It's slightly different from DDs other one but I can make it work!🙂

    D15z8 vtec testing

    Dave replied to Mp3civic's topic in Engine

    First thing to do is clean the vtec solenoid as it might be bunged up. Easy to remove clean and best to rule that out first.
  20. Dave
    Yeah, the extensions are a wise investment mate, makes it so much easier to adjust them. Deffo protect them with rust prevention treatment of some sort. Not sure what MeisterRs own stuff is like tbh, but can always use something else later if it doesn't seem to be helping.

    Sill rust concern

    Dave replied to dokuku's question in SOS! Help!!

    Yeah, been following his progress videos and on FB/here in the forum. His work and dedication is amazing. Totally get why he's doing it do as the car has a lot of sentimental value to him too.

    What usernames are posting spam mate and I'll block their ip's and email address?

    Sill rust concern

    Dave replied to dokuku's question in SOS! Help!!

    Nice work @AdzVTIS yeah, the sill ends, inner sills and top and bottom of rear arches is a common rot spot on these now. Depending on how the rest of the car is and the price, it might still be worth getting. Can always use it as a haggling point. Just bear in mind that to get it repaired properly at a garage won't be cheap, so you need to figure that into the equation. You won't necessarily get back what you put into them when selling, but that's the same with all cars tbf.

    Not had this happen on mine (fingers crossed!) But know others have deffo had the same thing happen. Don't think they were the strongest drive shafts even when new tbh. The VTi/VTiS have more power than the usual D series so probably why more of those I've seen snapping the shafts. Glad it was only at low speed mate, could have been nasty otherwise.
  25. Dave
    Nice suspension set up you've bought mate. Had them on both Ruby and DD, but put DD back to OEM suspension as went a different route with her now. I'd suggest spraying them with rust prevention stuff though, as mine looked awful when I removed them from DD. Only a couple of years if I remember rightly but corrosion was quite bad on them.
