Thanks for the replies guys, your input is much appreciated. One of the US eBay sites has replied, and it would seem theirs should fit. I have ordered one, and I'll let you know if it fits. It's much cheaper than the Honda one. By the way, I can get an after-market gasket for the sump for about £9, I certainly won't be paying £50 for a Honda one! Thanks again, guys. Stephen

Hi everyone, First post here! Have just bought a year 2000 Civic Aerodeck 1.6iLS (MC1 model), but the sump is perforated I have made a temporary repair using Chemical Metal, but this is obviously a stop-gap. I asked at the Honda dealer how much for a new one, and was staggered at the cost - £223, including a new gasket! (and that's me getting it through a trade account). Has anyone ever managed to source an aftermarket part? I have tried eBay, and can't find one suitable (although there are some for other Civic models). I am trying the US eBay site, and have found 2 possibilities, and have messaged these sellers giving them my VIN and engine numbers, but received no replies yet (it has a D16W3 engine number). Can anyone help please? There must surely have been other 15 year old Civics with porous sumps? Many thanks, Stephen
