  1. You'll not be disappointed with a well maintained Civic MB regardless of the mileage
  2. Gel

    Mb3

    Great example of how an MB should look.....the wheels give your car the right macho look.
  3. I'm suffering from a slipped disc at the moment so I'm not on form for posting but I had to drop in and compliment you excellent prep. work George
  4. Great to hear Mindy's wee cough has been cured double quick time ......I agree.....could have turned out an expensive and frustrating task......bang on diagnosis Dave....lucky you had Gayle to apply the magic touch.
  5. You must be cream crackered after such a marathon drive......anyway you got the tank that's akin to hen's teeth You're borrowed Type S did very well to return 33 mpg with air-con running.
  6. The guages look great but you'l have to lessen the tint if they're to be of any use.......especially when you fit the turbo.....where do you plan to site the turbo boost guage ?
  7. Good to hear Tubbs will soon be back on the road........12 hours driving could well end up 24 hours if the M6 is involved this weekend.
  8. Replacing the leads might well effect a cure ? ....if not.....you'll have to continue as outlined.
  9. A long slim self tapper or wood screw might work if all else fails ?
  10. Hi and welcome, I suggest you have the car MOT'd once you buy it.....you don't want to start modding until you know the car is solid underneath. I been driving the exact same model for 4 years (MB2 1.4iS).....it's been super reliable with regular maintenance. I'm too old to be bothered about modding cars so I'll leave the modding suggestions to others. Good luck with your pending driving test
  11. Surface rust on the ARB shouldn't make a jot of diference to the handling......so just like Chandler suggested.....miight be wise to replace the bushes and drop links.
  12. Whether you keep your cars very well maintained or not.....tis still a great feeling and relief when they pass.
  13. If your handbrake light doesn't turn off when you isolate the handbrake switch (disconnected) your woes are probably caused by the ABS being disconnected ?
  14. It's been a long road but definitely worth your efforts and perseverence Dougie.....it's now time to enjoy your MB6
  15. Excellent news jake .........you must be proud as punch having the official seal of approval (MOT).
  16. Hi and welcome to Civic5 Anna, our Trader 1000rpm should have the ABS box of tricks you need.....dmrichards scrapped an aerodeck recently so he may have what you require. @1000rpm @dmrichards Good luck with the repair.
  17. I quite like the silver wheels . You'll be needing good brakes once you drop the 1.8 lump into your car.
  18. It's the hours of stitching that was putting me off but once I have the steering wheel cover....I'll just get stuck in whilst listening to music.
