  1. I was looking into this a while ago but ended up putting it into the too hard box for my crap knowledge of electronics. Did get as far getting a wiper stalk from an accord which has the variable dial on (but not the rear wiper control)... Use for the redundant a/c button? On some hondas you can just swap the control box with one which has the function, but every time i emailed someone breaking as accord they didn't have a clue what i was talking about Will be really interested in this one
  2. think that the bearings must have been on the way and the motor burned itself out... stunk the car out something rotten.
  3. Get a new motor ASAP! Mine did this, then one morning smoke started belching out of it... Luckily I was just setting of from home, and had a screw driver in the car to disconnect the motor.
  4. I'm under the impression that legend ones are a straight swap as well... Same size disks though?
  5. I'm pleased that somebody said this... I've been struggling to bite my tongue
  6. Oh, and if the consoles never been out be prepared to struggle with the screws under the handbrake...
  7. What he said.. Deffo at least one behind that you need to expose. I remember someone posted an extract from the service manual once showing the locations.
  8. Have you still got the fog lights on when you try the lights? Just wondering because of where they are they are more susceptible to damage / water
  9. The sensor isn't there... It's just the p72 map on the chip is looking for it because it doesn't realise that it's a p72 brain in a p28 body It's just an option in the software apparently.
  10. I used to use a body shop that i thought was sound, until some things started coming to light, like paint flaking off at the jet wash, and when I went to replace the headlight washer which fell off, i found out why... They'd cut the pipe to it (mustn't have been able to get it off) and stuck a bolt in the end so our didn't leak! Cowboys. From different repairs as well. Haven't / won't be going back.
  11. True. Not getting it mapped as such coz it's just a p72 map, but need that sensor disabling for sure
  12. Shipping container?.. Sounds interesting...
  13. Well, my curiosity got the better of me and I've just tried it out. Was running and idling really smooth while I was pootling around, then when it was warm i took it a bit higher in the revs and it cut out when it got to 3500rpm... Limp home mode So i limped home and swapped ecu again Need to find someone to change that setting on the chip
  14. So i think there's part of the immobiliser in the ecu, and part in the receiver for the transceiver for the key... I went through s bad patch with it a few weeks ago, where it was just flashing.. Sometimes it would be better if i took the key out and turned it around, but then u noticed that if i pushed the key in quite firm it's been fine since
  15. Yeah, should be straight forward. From what I've read since, and what it says above, only US p28s have the aps, so the p72 map is looking for something that isn't there, but it shouldn't be a problem because it will just substitute a fixed value.
  16. Coupe... That's the word i couldn't think of It's nice... And is in good nick as well. They used to have a saloon same gen as karen's tourer as well (before the civic) ... Pleased they kept this one though
  17. Don't think that the p28 has a knock board? Will check that out though
