philgor Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 well drive shaft was caused by the mot failure, they fixed it, but the c.v boot they fitted came a few weeks's later they repaired it FOC and it started knocking a few week's before japfest..... exhaust, it's a stainless steel cat back fitted by the previous owner, it devloped a rattle a few months ago, so been looking for a replacement. but today i scraped a speed bump, and a few miles later i noticed it blowing. need to remember to ask work if i can have the parcel's dropped off there, as i can't guarantee any one being at home....

Krzys Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Who's 'they' that did the MOT? Depends where it's blowing really dude! Might be something silly like dislodged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 i knew the boot was split, that's all it failed on, the mot garage replaced the boot, a few week's later the boot came off on the c.v joint, i spotted it, took it back they fixed it FOC and that was that, few week's before japfest it started knocking, but time wasn't on my side...

burbleboy Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 to be honest, i really feel like selling up, it's got to the point where i'm questioning why do i seem to be flogging a dead horse. but to sell it i need to get it sorted. and i don't seem to have the time at the moment. i think the plan is to see if i can use the workshop saturday, and hit the car hard, but i do need to look at where the exhaust is blowing. it seem to be the front, from the sound it seem's to be after the cat, as it's a smooth blow (constant humming). so for a proper list need to look at the exhaust. front disk's......................£64.99 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Civic-Aerodeck-1-8-VTi-MC2-Drilled-Brake-Discs-Front-/300340393498?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AHonda&hash=item45edaeb61afront pads ebc ultimax...£23.84 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EBC-Ultimax-Front-Brake-Pads-For-Honda-Civic-Aerodeck-95-01-1998-1-8-MC2-/271118256877?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f1fe84aedrear pad's ebc ultimax...£19.95 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EBC-UltiMAX-Rear-Brake-Pads-for-HONDA-Civic-Aerodeck-1-8-MC2-98-2001-/350880692242?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item51b21e7812o/s drive shaft................£33.00 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CIVIC-1-8VTi-DRIVESHAFT-OFF-SIDE-NEW-97-01-/140385262569?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20af9d1be9oil and filter....................£19.40 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FUEL-FILTER-OIL-FILTER-HONDA-INTEGRA-1-8-TYPE-R-DC2-1997-2001-B18C-/271151101225?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f21dd7529 for later,compressor bracketfuel filterspark plugspollen filtera/c belt Thought i would help you out and have a wee look for some parts for you mate...seeing your getting fed up with things at the mo!
