2013 - WD40 Door Locks

Post by Kawa » Mon Sep 09, 2013 12:49 pm

While the door card was off, I also wd40'd the door locks and door handles. Only problem now I nearly pulled the interior door handle off the door this morning because it actually works nice and easily now without lots of effort.

2013 - Replace Clutch Master & Slave Cylinder

Post by Kawa » Sun Sep 22, 2013 10:10 pm

Totally lost pressure on the clutch pedal on way home from work on Wednesday, so unable to change gear :?

Looked on EuroCar parts website, master cylinder - £68, slave cylinder - £50...hmmmm....Rang them up for a price, £92 total - result, ordered both units.

On closer inspection and test bleed of the system, found the master cylinder was blowing bubbles from inside of the cockpit, just behind the pedal, so replaced the master cylinder. You need a 12mm brake pipe spanner for the job.

Bleed her up and just as pressure was building the slave cylinder gave way and starting pissing out :roll: Now glad I brought both units!

Replaced the slave cylinder tonight, requiring a 10mm brake pipe spanner.

All sorted :)

2014 Jan - Replace ignition switch and dizzy parts

Post by Kawa » Sat Jan 18, 2014 1:44 pm

I've been having problems with my ignition switch. Position 2 does nothing and position3 starts the car fine, but cuts out as soon as the ignition sprung back to position 2.

I found a sweet spot in between pos 2 and 3, so I just removed the spring from the switch while I search for a replacement.

In the end I brought a new switch from the local Honda stealer, £53+vat.

In the meantime I had dizzy problems as well, grrrr, so a new coil and ignitor module made it's way from the company formally known as 'Probe Distributors'.

Anyway, she's all good now. :)
