  1. Little update, had to recommission the deck as the accord has decided to shat its power steering fluid so over the shop, do pumped the tyres up, stuck a new yuasa battery in, and off we go 😎

     

    Love this car 🥰

  2. That's ridiculous picking up stuff like that when things are in good order.. You could almost understand it if they were trying to sell you work, but to them say they wouldn't do it! 🤦

     

    It's such a lottery getting garages to do jobs on your car... Good ones are like gold dust. 

     

    Hope your foot gets better soon mate..

  3. Not much to update on Tubs2 as its hibernation time, so thought I'd show done pics of the bargain android headunit / climate control thing for the big boy wagon.

    It's pretty good to be fair, better than a lot of oem infotainment systems. Had android auto and Apple car play. 

     

    Only real quirk is that the passenger side temp control is the one that controls both, rather than the other way around, and the door open image that pops up is also switched around. 

     

    Wish there was something like this for the M though. 

     

    Got it for a bargain £35 from the cancer research eBay site as well. Looks like they must have a batch at there's another one on auction now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225994844427?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=7jCh4mYeQAC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VPkI41u3Sse&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=More

     

    Replaces this unit..

  4. Class work as always Joe, great to see how it's coming along (and pleased you've added it here as I'm trying to stay off Facebook 😁). 

     

    The fuel tank and filler came up really well - that's cool not having to replace them (though I don't think the filler is available so nice one for protecting it). 

     

    Rover parts/fittings come to the rescue quite often now, and like you say are so much cheaper than honda would have been if they were available.

  5. Not really an answer to your question about dealer plates, but the brochure for the aerodeck and the hatch back has plates with "civic" on (fire the aerodeck one you need to download it as the pics on the post are duplicates from the hatchback post. 

     

    I guess it would have just been marketed as a civic?

    Yup, can confirm MA/MB/MC all the same. For best fitment (and quality) I'd deffo recommend the Climair ones. Have had both and the rear ones are a much nicer fit.

    Got to agree there... Climair are far superior.

    LOL christ, my cars stay clean for less than a day up here just now, roads are constantly wet, dirty (from all the tractors) and mashed up leaves. DD will be getting an uber wash next week as booked in for her MOT a week on Monday! Yay!!

    It also hasn't moved if the drive as well mind you, though to be fair that doesn't normally stop it getting dirty. 😂

  8. Ah mate, was hoping that wouldn't happen with the civic. 

    Wang some pics of the fn on though.. I'm liking them more the older they get... Same with the 8th gen accords. 

    Hopefully it'll do the job on the track as well.
