what the bulge'd de-cat might be for is, the MOT test, http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8973&p=95686#p95686, a load of new failure's came in on the 01/01/12 and some more in spring.
.New RfR where a catalytic converters are not fitted to vehicles subject to a full cat test. if it came from the factory with a cat it need's one for mot, doesn't matter if it passes the cat test or noti think the idea of the bulge, is to fool the tester in to thinking that the cat is present, and that it is not a de-cat.

got to also remember that the civic andthe jazz are 2 very different vehicles, the civic's are a low and sleek saloon style hatch back where as the jazz is a short stumpy and tall super mini. also the angle of the washer jet outlet, to the angle of the bonnet, to the angle of the wind screen, will be so different from the civic to the jazz. (mentioned it when i first joned, the mg/rover forum like'd the citroen c3 washer jet's)

live in a nice little place in the country don't I? living near a good motorway network help's with journey time's. around here it's all single carrageway road's, with little or no overtaking spot's. for example the a1 is 45minuites away from us on a good day (bad day it can be 1hr plus), and when i went over to dynodaze last year, the first bit of duel carrage way i hit was near leicester it's self, (A607 going on to the A46)
what sort of noise was it making?

I thought it was illegal to run Front tyres wider than rears?
PhilGor, where are you
i'm here, (come's skidding in shoe's in fire......)
and mot hat on...
blah blah...
aslong as the tyre size's are the same ACROSS the axle, you can run what you want front to rear.
so you can run 175/80/13 on the front axle and 205/55/16 on the back axle, which would be ok from an mot view point
as for abs, on an older car like our's, as long as it is getting a signal and it's simerler to the other 3 signals, it's ok. as for modern car's, the abs sensors are also used for traction control and the speedo signal, (newer citroen's are good for this one). so if one of the wheel's was a space saver, and the rest 19" with brand new tyre's on, that would more than likley put the abs/esp light's on.
blah blah....
fade's in to silence......

glad your getting it sorted, and as hickster has said, d-series engine's don't like budget fuel, mine's a 1.6, i used supermarket fuel at first, but found it didn't like cold start's. after a couple of month's, i switched to shell. i was paying about 1ppl more from supermarket fuel to shell. my mpg jumped after a couple week's, from high 20's to low/mid 30's. and once i changed all of the filter's the performance improved again.
as well you not that far from hinckley, i'm about 2 1/2 hrs away (80 miles), and your 3hrs away (180 miles), work that out lol

humming, usualy wheel bearing, when driving, and you can here the humming do a lane change when you steer one way it should go and the other it should stay.
roughness on the pedal's you need to explane a little bit more about that.
