  1. Hi... 

    so the civic has been good for 7000 miles since top end rebuild, in till the other day where I driven half a mile down the road developed a misfire, after investigation changed plugs dizzy cap and rota, when I took the cap of and found the rota arm screw loose an stuck to the magnet in the distributor, so all put back together and done a oil change,

    now the car is intermittent on starting and once it is starting it’s fine but doesn’t seem to be using vtech and a slight rasp coming from the exhaust at high revs. 
    any advice grateful 

    thanks 

  2. Took it for a drive and all good now, thanks for the advice, 

    will insure it for the weekend and take it on a good run, see if everything as it should

  5. To be fair there both rust free, 1.5 is 80,000 miles and 1.8 50,000, both never been welded, 

    do I have to change the front hubs to allow for the 1.8 shafts, and the Rear roll bar and axle brace bolt straight on the 1.5 ?, also is the clocks straight forwaRd swap 

    thanks 

  6. So started getting few  bits for the 1.8 engine rebuild, but in two minds to put the engine in my 1.5 or keep in original shell. My 1.5 is real tidy on the bodywork and the 1.8 has some scraps and dents. How difficult is the swap going to be, thought’s please

  7. Just had a quick look over and the radiator is bone dry and expansion bottle has a silver thick residual, so most definitely head gasket I would say, but possibly a bit more internal damage??? 
     

  8. Elderly lady 1 owner from new, m.o.t in till next year not greatly serviced 60,000 on the clock, she recently had a flat battery so got it jumped and was told to pop back out to car to turn it off in half hour in which she fell asleep for 6 hours with the coolant fan not working, so had a quick look as it’s swinging over but won’t fire ???? But for £60 I can grumble
