jon1600E Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Looking at the posts in this section, there are some very brilliant and extravagant projects and builds happening.However, I thought I would post some more mundane day to day running and goings on with my areodeck. Stuff that you will all have done, or be aware of; I hope I’m not going to bore you too much. Money is tight, so I’m taking time to find second hand parts going fairly cheep.So far I have found a luggage blind as mine was missing. Replaced the battery (£70 in Halfords!!), so it now has the battery out of my MK2 Cortina, very small battery tray in the Civic and most other batteries don’t fit. And replaced the bulb in the clock, I just missed seeing the time when driving at night for some reason. I’m pleased to say that my car now sports a pair of these (headlight washers). Found on the net for the princely some of £10. A mega expensive part from Honda I am lead to believe.The to do list will continue to grow I’m sure, but currently comprises of;Heater resistor pack, speeds 1 &2 gone; Fog lights, these have nearly rotted away, hard to see what they really used to look like now;Sticking rear calipers, have bought some second hand ones off the net, hoping to free them off.I really must check if the cam belt has been done!!!!! Just clocked up 79000 recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Looks like you have a very clean deck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 You might find the battery cheaper from Honda surprisingly enough, heater resistor pack; search for a Rover 400/45 one on ebay (much cheaper).Fog lights come up from time to time just keep an eye out (£90 each from Honda, when I got a price about 18 months ago).If you have problems with the calipers Rich (civicturbo79) on here does an exchange service for fully reconditioned ones at a good price.

jon1600E Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Cheers for the info,I will continue to view everyones projects on here and hopefully get some ideas.Another thing I will have to do again is sort out the tailgate struts. Found some second hand ones the same length which worked for a while, but tail gate now lands on my head again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
