  1. Thanks for the response Krzys , I managed to mend my own so I can now avoid a second hand unit.
  2. Hi all, the ignition switch on my MB2 1.4 S automatic needs replacing. I'll have a go at mending the contacts before I decide on a replacement. If my contacts are beyond repair ....can you link me to an affordable replacement ? Thanks in advance

    I definitely wouldn't pay to watch a megalomaniac.....I was very disappointed and wanted to see the trio excel but it looks like the Beeb will have the last laugh.

    Good luck with your new spaceship mae :)....I just love the looks and stance of your newbie.
  7. Not bad for a swift effort

  9. Looks like Honda err on the side of caution : http://cars.aol.co.uk/2016/09/14/research-reveals-how-far-cars-can-drive-on-empty/?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl1|sec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D312482825_uk
  10. Great to hear your space shuttle passed it's inter Galactic health test
  11. Hi Muddyf, it will be a lot cheaper and easier if you fit a new back box. I sourced a new back box from GSF for £36 or there abouts : www.gsfcarparts.com Use discount code BANK45 to get 45% discount. Good luck.
  12. Sadly Amand , like already suggested ....you've still got a non continuity problem.....might be time to have a mechanic wave his wand.
  13. I too suspect you still have a fault e.g. pinched or crimped wire or indeed the new sensor might well be open circuit ? Anyway, here's a procedure that might help : Locate and short out your ABS diagnostic plug with a jumper cable (there's a diagnostic connector for the ABS unit under the glove box) Turn ignition switch on but don't start the engine When the abs light comes on, press the brake pedal As soon as the abs light turns off, release the brake pedal As soon as the abs light comes on, press the brake pedal again As soon as the abs lught turns off, release the brake pedal The abs light will flash twice indicating there are no more fault codes and the light is reset Turn ignition switch off, remove the jumper, abs light should be out If at the end of the above procedure the abs light flashes 3 times, you still have a problem with your abs and the light will not reset until all faults are taken care of. In depth info :
  14. Sadly, the Deck doesn't get a mention : http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/190984/load-luggers-parts-haulers-esp
  15. Excellent project and workmanship Jones To say .....you know your car inside out would be an understatement.
  16. Your description seems to suggests...... your alternator belt needs tensioning ?
  17. Good luck with your lovely new motor Dave
  18. I used to be a member of HondaCivicForum but stopped using the Site once my security told me it was a Site best avoided. Below is the official warning I received via email : Notice of Data Breach You may have heard reports recently about a security issue involving VerticalScope. We would like to make sure you have the facts about what happened, what information was involved, and the steps we are taking to help protect you. VerticalScope owns and operates a number of community websites. You are receiving this email because you are a registered user of the following community website(s) involved in the data breach: www.hondacivicforum.co.uk What Happened? On June 13, 2016, we became aware that February 2016 data stolen from VerticalScope was being made available online. What Information Was Involved? Community member usernames, email addresses, hashed passwords, community userIDS, community website, and the IP address the username originally registered with. What We Are Doing We have invalidated passwords of all VerticalScope user accounts. We have posted a site security notification on each site updating users on the potential risk to certain accounts, the password reset and steps we are implementing to improve security. We have implemented stronger password rules (passwords now require a minimum of 10+ characters and a mixture of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols) along with automated account password expiries to encourage more frequent password changes. We will remind our users to use good password practices (not using the same password for multiple online accounts and using unique strong passwords). We are in the process of implementing additional safeguards to detect, alert and mitigate any future brute force attempts, and have notified our third party vendors that interact with our various forum API's of the February breach to allow their own security teams to investigate. We are continuing our investigation and will be collecting information to provide to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. VerticalScope is taking steps to strengthen account security. We were already using encrypted passwords and salted hashes to store passwords, and our new password controls are intended to further strengthen user security. We are taking steps to investigate and test new encryption and security technologies to further protect our users. What You Can Do To keep your account as safe as possible, we recommend that you regularly change your VerticalScope community password, and that you use a unique password for each of your online accounts. Using the same password for multiple online accounts significantly increases your chances of being compromised. Even though the passwords stolen in February were hashed, we recommend that if you were using (or are currently using) your VerticalScope community password across multiple online accounts, that you change your password for such other online accounts. We encourage you to regularly review your accounts and report any suspicious or unrecognized activity immediately. For More Information If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Community Management team by email at cmsupport@verticalscope.com or on the website that you frequent. A support thread has been created on each website, and our support teams are on there to help you through the process and answer any questions you may have. A Notice of Data Breach is also available on community websites involved in the data breach.
