It got me to the car show over 6 hours round trip. My alternator fell off en route and on the way home my clutch pedal got stuck up but managed just to hold it in 5th for an hour lol and it got me back to my drive!

The whole weekend was just amazing.

Pics!

and one of my stand.

Throwing everything at you at the minute isn't it?

How "fell off" was the alternator? It's rear mounted isn't it? Did it just slacken off?

Yea the bottom big bolt lost it's nut then the top bolt was missing! It slackened off then the belt was flopping around. I managed to steal a bolt from the coil bracket and a nut from one in the engine bay lol

Well progress so far is that I've taken the head off and the gearbox off again.

I've replaced 4 exhaust valves and 2 inlet valves.

Getting a head gasket tomorrow to refit the head.

So she did VERY well getting to Kettering and back on pretty much two cylinders! HAHA Honda FTW.

And this is why my clutch wouldn't let me push the pedal down. Brand new Exedy clutch BTW.
