Any other Merseyside based lude owners?

recently bought this 5th gen Lude from a customer I know. Absolutely love the car, been looked after although it still needs some TLC.
I've already gave it a full cut, finish and hand wax and it looks amazing, shame the previous person to paint it couldn't match the colour!

It's a 2.2vti 1997 automatic with 4ws and aircon etc, got it with 81k miles loads of history and 3 keys including the original Honda master key in it's packaging!
Done a lot of work on the car already, just need to sort a minor oil leak (think it's the pressure sensor seal) and change the gearbox oil. Thinking of some road legal slicks too as the tyres are a bit worn and dated, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Jay

Not near merseyside i'm afraid, but the common leak area is the oil seal behind the oil cooler. Its just a big o ring and cheap enough for original honda item (under a tenner). To replace it, whip the oil filter off, then undo the big nut, the threaded rod should come out, and the oil cooler/exchanger comes off, the seal is behind it.

81k and the red key - pretty good going!

welcome to the club! your images dont work though sorry, give us a shout if you need any help with them.

Im pretty close to Merseyside, over in Wrexham - North Wales. There are a few of us in the area, 2x 4g's in Wrexham, one in Oswestry, one in Flint and one in Winsford. There's also a 5g in St Helens, and one in Sandbach.

im pretty sure there is another one or two in or close to Liverpool but i cant quite remember.
