Hi Guys, On my 1.4 GL Rocker cover, as viewed from the front there are two screws on the left and right of the top wall of the cover. The right side has a loop ground wire from the larger ground wire from the top right retaining boult. However there is a central threaded hole in between the lt and r...

I had the same issue with my old Rover 216 (honda engine) it too started on the first crank. Then one morning, nothing. It turned out the alternator had just given way big time and without any warning. As Wellz says a bit of an electric testing shouldnt cost u much. Its these kind of faults that dri...

Yeah, that explains it then.It wasnt all over the Rheostat as if it had been put there as a protective coating.Guess parts of it must have degraded. Weird looking tho.

Got to check the Main Relay next.

Hi Guys, just done the Rheostat repair as in the Misc Section. Did anyone else who's done the repair find the elements covered in a white brittle crud similar to the build up in an electric kettle?

Its working well in all positions now. Thanks to the excellent "How to"

Edit for spelling

Well, I for one feel that the forum would be poorer without you WidowMaker. I enjoy a good banter too, so fire away. oh btw, is it true you met Queen Victoria?

Are replacement rear arches available?

Ok guys. Now Ive got the Honda bug, (is there a cure lol). I cant make up my mind whether to carry on working on my GL auto. Or get myself a newer Esi or LSi.

There's always the old trick of stretching the wife's dark coloured tights over the rear lenses. - If nothing else its great to watch her trying to find them in all the bedroom draws LOL.

That's a really good link. Thanx for that

Sorry Cherry but you are wrong on this one. The law changed recently, as another member says you have to use a huge amount of veggie oil before you have to register as a fuel producer. Trouble is that most of the info about this on the net is very difficult to comprehend. Makes me wonder if they wri...

Adding a little petrol is an old boaters trick too. They added about a gallon for every 50 gallon of diesel. They said it was to stop the diesel from freezing. Roger, my mate sez his car smells like a chip shop at the traffic lights LOL. He says his car is running cleaner and more efficiently too. N...

Guys I know that most of you are into your modding in a big way,,,, and why not. But I was just wondering if Honda produced a diesel 4G Civic? My mate has an old Pug 205 Diesel and after getting very low on diesel, miles from a garage, he found a shop and part filled the tank with veggie oil. He say...

About bloody time LOL, your beer's half evaporated and what remains has a nasty crust on it hehe

Im getting 250miles in the 1.4GL auto. Is that average?

would be good to have some "standard" cars. Just to be able to see the difference all the mods have made.
