    Well done mate!!

    yeah mate, she's still going strong almost 4 years later with her new owner. The non Honda ones are absolute rubbish (although the parts guy at the Honda dealership was trying to save me money), they packed in in less than a week! Left me stranded at side of road. Replaced with the same non Honda part, same again in less than a week. I had to fork out £240 I think it was for the genuine Honda part and never looked back. As your em light is one when it happens, it's almost certain that's the fault mate. The replacement dizzy should eliminate the problem. Let us know how you get on.

    Lots of possible causes mate. Are you still getting fuel through when this happens? Can you hear the fuel pump working when trying to start it when it's happened? Are you getting the EM (Engine Management) light coming on when it happens? If so, then possible ignitor in the dizzy. This happened to my MB6 and it would randomly cut out then take a while to get started again. Eventually it gave up totally in the end. It sounds as though you may have already changed this though? Was it a genuine Honda one? I tried 2 non genuine Honda ones and both failed so ended up having to shell out loads of money one a genuine part.

    Yeah mate, can confirm that the max height is not far off standard ride height, but is still a bit lower than normal. I did have mine set high to start with and took it down to the height as seen in our japfest photos. Sonce then ive raised it up a wee bit, but am thinking of raising it more as theres too many speedbumps around here and although fine with just me in the car if theres passengers she tends to scrape the exhaust which bugs me. Did try just stiffening it up more but found that it only helped a lttle bit and made it uncomfortable (for me anyways) so deffo gonnaraise her a bit. Will post up pics when shes done tho probs wont be for a while yet. Deffo go for the meisters, excellent bit of kit. I think theyve stopped doing the zeta s but have a model which replaced it. (Need to check)

    Sweet new car Mae. Loved my typeS and typeR, look amazing inside and out. TypeR was too costly to run though. 1.8 is pretty good on fuel and quite quick though.

    Mb3 cutting out

    Dave replied to a question in SOS! Help!!

    Have you had the engine management light come on when it cuts out? At worst it could be the ignitor in the distributer. But that normally throws the em light on. Best to try the cheap options first before replacing that!

    Looking sweet as mate!

    Time to start preserving these now, always been rare but even more so nowadays

    Look at that Pirates black pop! Love that colour in the sun (and where the hell did you find sun in scotland in winter!??), nice pic to cheer us up for the winter that.

    New car tonight

    lol showing your age Gerry remembering them!!! Sad I knew what you were talking about the second I saw it! lmao

    Just a case of getting the bits from the hatch mate and fitting them to your aerodeck. They bolt straight in.
  14. Dave
    Yup they are indeed mate. There is also some differences between model years although it's limited to the MA/MB change over. The loops you're on about and I think one of the hinges are different?
  15. Dave
    Thats the spirit! Be good if you can keep the insurance out of it mate, make her cough up. Stops them putting a cat tag on it. I take it the cops know? Hope she gets done big time! Damage to hers looks bloody minimal too which sucks!
  16. Dave
    Are the chassis legs intact mate? Getting all the bits 2nd hand wouldn't cost that much I don't think. If the insurance coughs up some cash she should be repairable mate. Know what insurance is like though..... They'll just want to write it off Fight them bud.......and the silly uninsured cow! She deserves a slap!
  17. Dave
    Main thing is thouh are you ok?
  18. Dave
    Ahh ffs! That looks pretty severe mate i take it the lex_arse driver is uninsured? Id sue the feck out of him bud. Does she have chassis damage? If its just panels/llights etc shes well worth saving. What happened to cause the crash?
  19. Dave
    Yeah, my thinking too Tom. Just thought id put it out there, see what the views were on it.
  20. Dave
    We have new members signing up so there will be different civic m's appearing. The fact that this is a one marque/one model site is why cotm is for civic m's only. Pretty much like most other one make/model sites. I have thought about maybe starting another section for car of the month for any car, but that would be without prizes etc. Maybe a winners photo on the home page of the forum. Problem being it might take away from our original cotm so not sure? Congrats Alex, stunning aerodeck mate

    Wheel colour

    Dave replied to dogg1210's topic in Chat Lounge

    I like all 3, but the grey wins for me

    Garage costs for this may be quite high mate (any welding costs a bit nowadays). Looking from pics it's hard to tell how hard the impact was, but as long as the chassis legs are straight, then getting a new panel fitted shouldn't be an issue. By the looks of it you'll also need a new crashbar (for behind the bumper). It's deffo saveable though on first impressions, have seen a few that were worse than that and were saved mate. It might be worthwhile pricing up a new slam panel (think these are still available) as most garages will prefer to work with a new panel as opposed to one that's been cut from another car. Can't see the panel being more than £250 max. welding wise, if you take off everything you can it will also cut the costs for the garage.

    Civic m review

    Dave replied to dr_broon's topic in Chat Lounge

    See, for me i thought the styling was bang on! Most reviews put ut down as dull but i thought it was a classy shape. Anyways what do RAC know about cars? Lmao they once came out to my late dads broken down clio, which we suspected the timing belt had gone (which it had). Rac guy first connected jumpleads up to it wrong (and still don't know why he used them, as the battery was fine!) and blew the electrics then tried constantly to start then engine! End result, all valves bent! Good find though Simon!
  24. Dave
    Lol good to see you back mate. That's low miles for an 07 fn2. Looks like mind too being alabaster silver, a rarer colour as most are red or black. How did you find fitting the double din? Lol
  25. Dave
    Yeah, will be the switch on the pillar mate. I think if memory serves me rightly you can loosen the switch off and move it slightly so that the door pushes the button fully home?
