FlorayG Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I'm told by Honda that it only comes as part of a whole new distributor is this correct?If not, where can I get one? None of the motor factors near me can get itIf I have to buy a new distributor is there anywhere I can get a recon one? I don't fancy shelling out £400 to Honda for a brand new oneThanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Yes I read its all inside prob easier just to get a new dizzy but not from honda as they will rip u off. Or you can chance a second hand one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlorayG Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ho Ho Ho it's all fun isn't it? Finally got the right part number, trawled the Internet for it, found one place in the whole of the UK that stocks it, rang them up, answer machine message says closed for 2 weeks holiday typical.Just hope she can manage to keep running for another couple of weeks. Have lost Vtec but otherwise seems OK fingers crossed then. Thanks for all your help Simpo, I won't charge you any royalties then for still having a cartoon of MY car on your posts What you driving now then?
