ammarbm Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 How much you paid for it mate and where did you get it from. I will add that to my parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 How much you paid for it mate and where did you get it from. I will add that to my parts APD bud. Auto factors, pretty sure they are about most places. £20 plus the VAT mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKH25 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Step 1Go for a quick drive for about 10 minutes to bring your car up to the normal operating temperature. Turn your engine and ignition off.Step 2Locate your fusebox. If you are standing at the front of your car facing your windscreen, this is at the top right hand side of your engine bay.Step 3On the top of your fusebox, there should be a diagram. Find the little box that says "ECU" in it, lift the cover and remove that fuse.Step 4After 10 (whole) minutes, replace the fuse.Step 5Start your engine. Do not touch the accelerator pedal or anything else, and leave your car idling for a furthur 10 (whole) minutes.Step 6Turn your engine off. Wait around 2 minutes, then turn it back on again. This saves the new ECU settings. Nicely described, you need to take the ECU backup fuse out as well though. APD bud. Auto factors, pretty sure they are about most places.£20 plus the VAT mate. Not much more for a genuine Honda one from John Banks on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 So to ensure I'm not completely in productive day, the EK is in the garage, so took the coils off that, brought in for a clean down and take off the preload. Will wind the rears all the way up. But suppose the fronts will just be a little trial and error once the car is up. And the two wheels remaining to rub down.

Grant Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 All cleaned up and oiled. Just then decided to stop and get in the shower to go out for a late lunch and what happens?? Blue skies come out. Fuck this British weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
