Civic 2000 to 2006

  1. **** Disclaimer this is LONG, and probably boring. Skip to last paragraphs for key Questions **** Let's start by pre-facing this with "basically I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm learning......." Car failed MOT (UK) for split CV boots. I had some brand-new drive shafts in the garage (can't recall why), so I figured I would just swap the shafts over. I'm working on the ground as it were with the car upon stands. I'm ok with brakes etc so stripped it all down, popped off hub nuts etc and (eventually) popped the old shafts out......... This is where the fun begins! Didn't realise aligning and fully locking a new driveshaft in could be such a…

  2. Hi All I am having trouble finding a front offside brake caliper for my h reg civic 4th gen. (part no. 45210-SH3-E11) I bought one from Autodoc after typing in my reg number. It arrived and the garage said its the wrong part, All the others on that site are out of stock and Honda in Worthing gave me a part number but they cannot find any available sources either. If any one has any advice it would be greatly appreciated...thank you. Regards Nick

    Hello, This may be an obvious question, but are UK / US engine parts interchangeable? I'm helping a friend with a head gasket change, and I can't seem to find a 1.6L head gasket on rockauto, and I'm not sure where to find a reputable vendor. The websites I've tried have been decent, but nothing I feel confident in buying. He has a 2006 Hatchback, 1.6L, for reference. I would appreciate any advice you could share, as your personal experience means a lot! Thanks, Caleab

  5. Hello, I am a new user and this is my first post. I have a 2002 Honda Civic 1.6 and the handbrake needs fixing, it is the unit that needs replacing. My garage says Honda no longer supply this part and are unable to obtain it from a dealer. They sourced the part on Ebay twice, only to find it is the wrong handbrake. It seems Honda have made at least two versions and the brackets that need to be attached are different to the ones I need (see attached photos of my hand brake). There appears to be no suitable handbrakes on Ebay. I found one that looked suitable but it is for a 1.4 Honda. My garage has a call out to the various scrap places but sill no …

    I was looking at a Honda Civic Hatchback on autotrader, saw one going for 1,100, though it has few issues front left fender has a massive dent, front bumper needs either to be replaced or fixed, plus the passenger side wing mirror needs to be either replaced or repaired. How much does it cost in UK to carry out repairs or replacements for these three parts. Link to the actual car is below. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202211191823275?advertising-location=at_cars&exclude-writeoff-categories=on&year-from=2004&maximum-mileage=125000&postcode=NW1 8DE&body-type=Hatchback&sort=price-asc&fuel-type=Petrol&include-de…

  15. HI, Had a weird one overnight. I last opened/closed my car last night around 2130, but didn't start the engine, in fact never drove the car at all yesterday. Im positive my drivers window was closed when i left it, as it hadn't been opened all day. This morning my neighbour informed me the drivers window was fully opened. I checked and nothing was amiss, nothing (dash cam, chargers, anything) had gone missing or had been visibly moved. Weather was dry all day/evening. Started the car, opened/closed the window a few times, checked everything, nothing seems to be at fault. My model of the car doesnt have the auto open window function from the keyfo…

    Hi. A few weeks back my car developed a fault with an immobiliser. I drove the car regularly and the battery never went flat. Overnight my car developed the following fault. In the morning my fob could not open the car I used the key on the driver's side and it opened the driver's side door only. Curtsy light remained off even when I opened the door. When I turn the key in the ignition to position all control lamps were on and off as usual apart from green key flashing. If I try to start the car I can hear the starter motor cranking the engine but the engine would not start. I called in the locksmith and sadly he informed me that the immobiliser failed to communicate and …
