  1. Aye, best bit is it's a week since it was washed.. Usually it's a mess after a day
  2. How's things going with the crown mate? Still going strong?
  3. Some water beading porn from over night wetness... Do really like that turtle wax hybrid wax stuff.
  4. Thinking about this over night, I think that the top layer that's peeling off might be seam sealer. It wasn't rusty flakes of metal anyway. Will hopefully get a chance to have a look after work
  5. Nice one for getting that sorted - the seats look great in there.
  6. Just had a look on the way back in the house - I fitted the panel, but not those rubber hinge covers... It's clearly those that have gathered all the slop and made it rust.
  7. So since the sun was out, I decided to give the old girl one last wash and coating of the hybrid wax before going to bed for the winter, and decided to give under the shuttle panel at the bottom of the windscreen a check / clean out to make sure it wasn't collecting leaves. Thought it seemed okay, so gave it a bit of a clean anyway to get rid of some slime. But then found some bloody rust on the passenger side corner The top skin is peeling off, and there's bare metal underneath, which has thankfully just got some surface rust... Feels like I've caught this just in the nick of time... But feel a bit sick. Didn't take any more pics after cleaning it up a bit more, but need to get it treated and sorted ASAP.
  8. Yeah, I've had that (on two decks now...) tends to be the seam sealer on the roof panel underneath the trim where the roof bars are. Hope you get it sorted
  9. Looks good mate. The sports cat made quite a difference when I fitted mine. Starlight headliner looks good.
  10. Ah man, that is a bummer. Hopefully though what you've done has stopped it getting any worse. Do you think the tank will need to come out?
  11. Sunday car wash day as I've got a couple of hours to myself. Second time using this stuff.. Really good.. Was a bit of a chew putting the base coat on last time, but once that's on, you use it after rinsing and then just buff off. It must be nearly two months since I put the base coat on, but the water was still running off in sheets when I was rinsing the shampoo off. Other products used today are..
  12. I think that grant had done the usdm indicator /running light thing, and when the car was in getting all the work done I asked them to swap my old lighting loom of Tubs. Think they just wired them up the right way around though as there's loads of insulation tape around the wires to the headlights (which tbh is why I gave them a wiggle..) Did spend all evening the night before trying to understand wiring diagrams in the Haynes manual and the Honda workshop manual.
  13. Had a properly weird thing happening one night this week. When I turned my headlights on from sidelights, the left height adjustment motor moved a bit. With the headlights on, if I turned the left indicator on, it ran slowly, dimmed the left headlight, and set the front and rear windscreen wipers tuning constantly... The only way to them turn them off was to turn the headlights off again. Fiddled with the wiring around the passenger side lights and it got rid of it, so there's obviously something dodgy in that area with current going to earth or something.
  14. Weirdly was just watching Ed China's latest youtube video (workshop diaries) where he sent a fiesta abs unit to be remanufactured. Hope you get to the bottom of it mate.

    Ah, by mid wing I thought you meant something halfway down the rear screen.
  16. Looks flipping good that mate. Hope that you're into something with the abs.. That's be good to get that sorted!

    Do you mean on the rear screen? Not sure I've seen one fitted either. You'd have to check measurements etc, but can't see why you couldn't. If anyone has looked into it, @Craigblight86 would be the man - any clues Craig?
  19. That's a lovely looking deck mate... Mean looking.
  20. Just to show this, was just looking for some new bungs for my spare wheel well as a couple of mine have gone a bit gummy... https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars/assignment_spare_parts/82871671000 £4.52 ex VAT from honda https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-BNP4028 60p ex VAT for rover.. Quite a difference if you're buying the 10 that honda has as the default number for replacing them all!
