Sorry 2000 Civic MB2.

Afternoon folks, My poor wee car has seemed to developed a slight problem and wanted to pick your brains just to confirm the problem! It all started a couple of weeks ago... When you turn the ignition the car starts, revs drops then cuts out. This can happen a few times before it will properly fire up with a gust of revs. Its cut out on me once when driving up to a junction, thankfully just the once. And you can imagine my frustration when I'm trying to deliver Chinese take away, stop starting every 2 minutes! Think this is why the problem has arisen! I've been told its the Idle Air Control Valve you think this could be right? I've priced one from a motor factors for 300 quid off there's a couple on ebay a lot cheaper. Any ideas where the best place is to get them or know a part number for them? Or could it be something else??? Cheers Gav

A week on and all seems well. No leaks found, checked under the dash at the pedals and all seems dry. So hopefully thats all it needed. Gav

Absolutely spot on guys, new fluid, bled and now it's completely sorted like new. Thanks for your replies really helped. Gav

Perfect thanks guys! will check it out at the crack of dawn!

Evening Folks! I have a 2000 MB2 Civic and I think the Clutch is about to go, but just wanted to ask your thoughts! After watching my beloved football team scrape a 1 nil win I jumped back in the car for the journey home. I noticed straight away my clutch pedal was really really soft and struggling to return back up. And the biting point was right at the floor. Do you guys think this is the Clutch on its way out and needing replaced or could it be some other problem?? Cheers

Afternoon Folks Not sure if I'm posting in the right section, I'm new around here!! (if in wrong room can a mod move ) I have a bog standard MB2 which needs some work done and looking for peoples thoughts. It needs fronts pads and discs, a rear caliper, has a hole in the cat, a hole where the centre section meets the back box(so basically need a full exhaust system!) and 1 of the drive belt idler pulleys is screaming its head off! A work in a parts dept not Honda though! (Italian, Swedish and Spanish, you guess!) So can easily pick up cheap and cheerful parts from the local motor factors. Was wondering though do you recommend any type of pads and discs you can maybe buy online that are better than cheap types a can get from the factors? Obviously its only a 1.4 so don't need top of the range sports beasts! Caliper I think I will just get from the factors. Exhaust not sure what to do here, get a cat from the factors and then maybe get a cat back system of some sort? I'm in 2 minds to mod the car i.e a notice since coming on here you can get mg suspension parts relitavley cheaply off ebay etc, get a nice set of wheels, exhaust etc or just save my money do everything relatively cheaply and hopefully get my hands on a rare vti-s in the future! Pulley I think I might have to get from Honda aswell as the belts as there seems to be 3 in there!! Although a could prob get these parts from the factors aswell. Thoughts welcome!!! Cheers Gav
