    My car passed the MOT emissions test with the orange engine light glowing.....'twas touch and go though but passed when left ticking over for ages. This link confirms what Noodels stated : https://mattersoftesting.blog.gov.uk/common-mistakes-made-by-mot-testers/

    Thanks for the excellent info Chandler : ) albeit Honda prices are horrendous.

    Hi and welcome aboard Claire, AFAIK a cam belt change is recommended @ 72K. Rubber perishes over time so your safest bet is to have the belt changed anon. Enjoy your very well kept MB2

    Certainly sounds like a cylinder head casket on it's way out .......removing the thermostat often masks pending gasket failure. If you visit an MOT Station or borrow a CO2 tester you'll detect CO2 fumes from the header tank if a cylinder is blowing across to a water galley.....cuts out the guesswork. Good luck

    The Integra R DC2......quickish and handled like a dream....I realise the Ep3 and the Fn2 are even better but I just fancy the early Integra.

    Not alone are you increasing the volume of water, you're also increasing the cooling area by a significant amount therefore your engine may struggle to reach optimum temp during cold snaps which in turn will result in incorrect fuelling which may trigger an orange dash light. After saying all the above......your car may run like a dream ?.......lol

    Fitting an oversize radiator will look aesthetically pleasing but engine performance and reliability will suffer

    Nice thought Simpo but entering the competition I ain't because I've put very little effort into improving my car whereas others put blood sweat and tears into their pride and joy. Anyway, under close inspection my car wouldn't hold a candle to some of the minters on here.

    Hi Phill, I decided to bang an image of a hatchback on because they seem to be thin on the ground. Nay, I don't have a build thread to Add.....I bought it .....tightened it up, filled it with petrol and away I went I'm in my mid 50's so I'm past modding per se. Just remove my posts if my car is upsetting the thread......I promise you it wont upset me in the least.
