Carlosfandango's '97 White Diamond Pearl Type-S

My Type-S · Post by **Carlosfandango** » Wed Jul 17, 2024 12:51 pm

Failed on my headlights but I've got another set to swap out. Letting a garage do it as I seriously can't be arsed messing about with the bumper

so unfortunately waiting for the 7th of August for them to fit me in. Massive positive that there was no structural issues this time. As she's been stood for 7 months, I'm taking that as a win

In better news....

I got bored after spending most the day, post MOT, rewiring a, supposed professional auto electrician's, coq up on my CR-V's stupid fly by wire throttle!! Wouldn't mind but the cable's nearly long enough to just be a pedal to throttle cable

It's relatively easy to fit them. I knda started a "how to" but it rapidly became a "yeah, maybe not like this"!

Doesn't every job on cars go that way?

What failed about the headlights btw, if you don't mind me asking? Unusual thing for a lude to fail on.

Too big

I'm guessing the lens has clouded over? I have to give mine a blast every 6 months or so until i can do it properly.
