  1. Maybe worth checking similar offerings on eBay and Autotrader to gauge the value and then ask for a little more and then be willing to drop on price if necessary
  2. Sounds like battery voltage or steering sensor fault - worth taking back to the dealer to query
  3. From memory I seem to recall the larger bore pipe is supply line
  4. I assume it is the global recall on Takata airbags which affected many hundreds of thousands of all UK makes and models equipped with this type of airbag https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-recalls-defects/takata-airbag-recall-everything-you-need-to-know-a1060713669/
  5. Hi billpmadscot ...welcome to the Club A fellow biker then (I have a Honda Africa Twin) ... what Honda bikes did you have? You've definitely come to the right place to chat cars and bikes Good to have you onboard!
  6. I did this mod on a Civic and had to try a few different belts for size from a local motor factors who were very obliging when they knew what we were aiming to achieve
  7. Thanks for letting us know the outcome of the repairs Sometimes, genuine parts are the only solution!
  8. It does seem that unlike some other manufacturers (e.g. Toyota) that Honda are not concerned about older model parts availability. When a car model reaches a predetermined age then it has done its job and the fact that Honda cars live a lot longer than other makes is that they are made well in the first place. Therefore, i think more by accident than design, the older Honda's are still around but unfortunately the parts are not. Secondhand was always the way I went with parts for older cars and in particular American cars which you struggled to get parts for in the day so would visit scrapyards to find what i needed to keep the car on the road. Nowadays, you can get plenty of brand new remanufactured spare parts for American cars and other specialist cars such as Jags and MGs. Unfortunately, Honda is not one of that foresight has considered so not 'new' parts coming through. Have you also considered Rover parts as similar Honda models used in the Rover range (600, 800, 200, 400)
  9. Trouble is you joined the legion to forget and be forgotten ..... now I'm of the age where I have forgotten whatever it was that I was trying to forget 🙂
  10. Have a look at prices ones are and have gone for on eBay to get an idea of value Bearing in mind condition, mileage, etc and adjust value accordingly
  11. Interesting read Alan and certainly brings back some memories
  12. Hi...welcome to the Club Plenty of information in here but if you can't find what you want to know then just ask Good to have you onboard!
  13. Can the damaged part be welded?
  14. Suddenly thought what it is....Key Fob Battery is low and needs replacing. Take it to Timpsons or other Key Cutters and they should be able to replace it and then the light should go out
  15. Generally Halfords have a range of improved bulbs that can improve lighting....have a look at their range and go from there
  16. Hi .... welcome to the Club Usually chip tuning is the way forward but also induction and exhaust to compliment the tune. I imagine there is a multitude of information on the best way to tune on the net but it is always a question of money....how 'fast' can you afford to go? Good to have you onboard and feel free to post up some pics of the Civic
  17. Hi....welcome to the Club I wouldn't worry too much about that as long as it hasn't come from somewhere such as the coast or flood plain areas in which case the corrosion could be excessive. Otherwise it has been noted as an advice more than likely but even so it is worth looking at how bad it is, if its surface corrosion then fine and it can be treated, anything deep and metal peeling away then maybe worth walking away from
  18. I have no real idea but at first glance I am thinking if your phone is connected then its showing the battery level ? possibly?
  19. If you can remove the hose and take it to a hydraulic hose repairer they can make you a new one at a fraction of the cost (Hyphose or similar company)

    Key

    Can't see the connection as the key is doing the job of immobilising the engine to start/turn over. Check the coolant sensor is working within the parameters as it could be giving a false reading to the glow circuit
  21. Did you ever manage to resolve this issue?
  22. Hi Ivor....welcome to the Club Hopefully you can find all the parts and information you require through here Good to have you onboard!
  23. Haven't encountered this issue before but oil quality, condition and level comes to mind as a possible cause
  24. Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard
  25. Hi....Happy New Year to you also Quite possible requires a new battery if the old one is losing charge over time? Also, check battery lead connections are tight as it does sound like power loss thats leading to these faults
