PsychoDogBeast Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hi there allI havnt been on here for a while but i thought i ought to post what repairs ive had to do to Cindy for the last 3 years of happy motoringApart from the tires, routine servicing, oil changes and ridiculous cost splitfire spark plugs.rear drop links, 3 setsfront anti roll bar bushes, 3 setsdrive shafts, both sides, the Honda ones get weak at 85-90k and snap under hard acceleration on lowered carsrear anti roll bar bushes, once.....replaced with a MG ZS rear anti roll bar, with new bushes (good mod)1 Batteryexhaust, had a Toyo sports exhaust off ebay, good quality but very annoying, rear tip looked daft and was really noisy, car went to Nortech in barnsley for a new centre box welding in and an OEM stainless tip (result)New door card off ebay as my velour came adriftNew windscreen due to some pleasant!!! moron cutting me up on the M62 and flicking a stone at my car.So there you have it, Shes been my best car to date, been the most reliable car ive had to date and still going strong for the 8 years ive owned her. Not bad for the so called unloved Civic lolCheers for readingJames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Most of that sounds like normal wear and tear for an M anyway so I'd be happy with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKH25 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 8 years is a long time to have her, i will probably have mine just as long, As i cant really fault anything with her x2, I can't fault anything with mine either, I can't think of anything else that gives you as many smiles per mile without costing the earth or being horribly unreliable.
