    Good work on snapping it up there mate. At least it should give you less bother than the mini 🤞 Hondas generally seem to hold their value (in fact second hand cars generally seem to now...)

    What tyres!

    dr_broon replied to AdzVTIS's topic in Chat Lounge

    Hey bud, glad you're getting the old girl back in the road. I'm a big fan of uniroyal rain sports. I know you're only going to be out in the dry, but you never know what's coming, and they're fantastic in the wet. Good in the dry too. Bit soft and wear quickly, but I've used them for years now.

    Have to agree with Adz about it seeming like a bad idea to share cooling duties with the engine. Have you looked into seeing if there's an upgrade? These ones look like they're more chunky than the standard? (but can't remember as it's so long since I've had air con on my car). You'll have to make sure they'll fit though. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsg-test-11.slatic.net%2Fp%2F16fc733d09b5b70b4fcdabea3a96ad09.png&tbnid=YSSntC5baq6DZM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lazada.com.ph%2Fproducts%2Fcivic-laminated-evaporator-esiekegvtilxicrv-1st-honda-car-aircon-parts-i112056049.html&docid=JqTek4HNHjZmzM&w=1080&h=1080&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F2&kgs=8ab1c69962d3ba71&shem=abme%2Ctrie#vhid=YSSntC5baq6DZM&vssid=mosaic https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173380831207?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=fdbxb7XvSMO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VPkI41u3Sse&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE

    ABS Problem

    dr_broon replied to mb1omar's question in SOS! Help!!

    Strange, that description doesn't seem to match any of the faults in the workshop manual. It even sounds like a different type of system? I just googled the probable cause you quoted, and the first result was about a 97 accord https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-accord-1990-2002-2/abs-code-3231043/ From the workshop manual it sounds like the accumulator is part of the abs module, rather than a Separate part. Try downloading the workshop manual from the downloads section, and have a look in section 19-B, there's a description of the abs system for the m civics, and a diagnostic fault finding flowchart, which should help on down the problem.

    ABS Problem

    dr_broon replied to mb1omar's question in SOS! Help!!

    As far as I know it is, it used to be a thread that got turned into a guide. Every time I've had an abs fault it's been a sensor, and sometimes they are intermittent and the faults come and go. If the code you're getting is 18, then that would be a wheel sensor according to this guide... What is the other guide telling you?

    It's a nice looking civic either way. Nightmare! Just as well you had a spare engine 😁

    ABS Problem

    dr_broon replied to mb1omar's question in SOS! Help!!

    Abs is a bit of a nightmare on these cars. @Dave had loads of fun trying to track down a problem on his - can't quite remember the symptoms or the fix though. Just wondering, is the Spanish manual for the m civics? Not sure if the codes are different for m's compared to other hondas at the time.

    Do like that colour matey 😎
  10. dr_broon
    If you want to try and get a bit more comfort about part numbers, might be worth looking here to pin down your model... https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars/CIVIC-AERODECK These civics are a bit odd when it comes to parts unfortunately. As far as the brakes goes, the calipers are a bit of a weak point as they do tend to seize, though you can pick them up relatively cheaply on ebay now.
  11. dr_broon
    Looking like it's going to be the only way 🤦
  12. dr_broon
    Might have to give that a try myself... Mine vibrates at motorway speed, and I've got stiff bushings too
  13. dr_broon
    Hi George, welcome along. That's a nice looking MA I don't think I've seen one that colour before.. Really like it.
  14. dr_broon
    Edit... Just found that speed factory do one but it's about 150 notes. https://www.tegiwa.com/products/speedfactory-racing-obd1-obd2a-ecu-jumper-harness
  15. dr_broon
    Finally made a bit of progress with an ecu.. Found a p28 with hondata s300 already installed on ebay for a few hundred quid and snapped it up. Didn't clock though at the time that it's been adapted (by hondata by the look of it) to have. Obd2a connectors on it 🤦 Of course, it should look like this.. Now I don't seem to be able to find a conversion harness the right way around, probably because noone would have a need to fit an odb2 ecu into an odb1 car... So I'm back to needing someone to do some electronic wizardry with a soldering iron, but this time to swap the connector from my dead p28 to this new one. 🤔

    Is this your fn2 Jake? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305673838779?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=wWcPmaXYRv6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VPkI41u3Sse&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE
  17. dr_broon
    Hope you had a good day boss. The weather held up this side of the border 😊
  18. dr_broon
    Not mine... Looks clean from the photos https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266868581761?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=hV4OwS1ISwC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VPkI41u3Sse&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    They're not on my archive box spreadsheets (I know... Sad 😂) but the boxes went up a long time before I gave up on trying to fix the snapped one. It might be a long shot, but you never know
  20. dr_broon
    That's looks a lot better than it did mate. Just had a thought.. I don't want to get your hopes up too much, but there's a good chance I've still got the driver side headlight protector from when I bought a pair and the passenger side cracked in transit. I need to put some stuff in the loft at some point, so I'll try and remember to look. Can't remember if I got shot of it or not.
  21. dr_broon
    Glad DD is back running again chief. Interested to see the pics on how you fixed it.
  22. dr_broon
    That sucks mate, especially the headlight protectors. Glad you got sorted with the bumper and stuff though. I don't suppose there was another headlight washer at the place you got yours?... You need a louder exhaust so the wildlife hears you coming 😁
  23. dr_broon
    Like the bonnet in blue mate, looks slick
  24. dr_broon
    Think they do it free as its their venue, with a pub / wedding venue, and bit of publcity for their restoration business / car sales - on a Thursday night so probably doesn't cost them much apart from time, and brings them a bit of business in when it might be quiet. Win win.
  25. dr_broon
    Sounds like a cool day. Vid is set to private though 😉
