Has anyone fitted hardened valve seats, or do they find its not much of a problem? Unleaded or Super not a problem either way?

Super unleaded isn't a problem on the B20 but the timing needs to be altered to run normal unleaded safely. unsure about the A18.

Just to add, if you contact your local honda dealer they sjould be able to tell you as that's where I got the info on the B20 from :)

There are some accord owners on here who might know too @crazy_c

Indeed good news, £118 for a water pump not so good lmao

Some on ebay for £27, but not sure how good the part actually is...

Does it say what brand pump it is?

It is entirely possible there's some decent new old stock out there that people now want to get shot of because it's been lying around for a couple of decades!
