Soft water is not hard. Hard water contains amongst other things calcium and other desoved solids. (Limescale)

Soft water will desove these soldids as it goes round the system.

but.

You need water from somewhere soft cornwall, South wales etc...

Or...

Me. ;-)

I reckon you car though has been runnung with too little antifreeze/coolant in it. These should stop water deposits forming.

Shameless plug right there 👆

Yeah i think its had little anti-freeze in the system but its had green stuff in it... So havn't had any green to top it up but now i've got to deal with it and drop it all out to flush the sustem i can refill with red stuff and get a good mixture flowing round!

I flushed a lot of the crap out the other day anyway so should be ok once i replace the coolant!

Thanks lads, oh btw... I bled the clutch and got a bit of a better pedel back but the clutch will need doing at some point!

Right, its about time I sorted out a few problems!

Front Upper Arm Ball Joints Knackard

Track Rod End Ball Joints Knackared

Thermostat Knackard

Shaft Joints Knackard

Heater Resistor Pack Only 3 and 4

Clutch Pretty Worn

Now... I cant afford to do the lot in one hit so I need to prioritise slightly.

The upper arms, track rods ends, thermostat and shaft joints are my main concerns so I'll be dealing with them first... Shafts I've got sorted thanks to a link someone posted for me a few pages back :) ... Upper arms, thermostat and track rod ends, obviously OEM from honda would be ideal but on a budget where would be suggested I get these from, is my local 'Jayar Car Parts' decent enough??

Clutch wise, its getting there but I can nurse it a bit longer, when the time comes I'll be visiting speed equip for an exedy kit. And resistor pack I've got covered... Hopefully I'll have some worthwhile updates soon enough... Once she's running right (and safe) i can work on rescuing the misfit exterior!!! Lol

Oh yeah, and im getting big misting inside in the mornings, one morning it froze inside the windscreen... I think the sunroof seal is the culprit... I heard the whole kiddie needs to be replaced, or can i attack the seal with silicon?
