It must have detected a slight mis-fire somehow, no idea how, those clever Japs and there clever ECU`s!! :D

Yeah I`m sure they are, well 99%! No other Honda engine that I have ever worked on (I`m an ex Honda Tech) had shims, Honda provide a special tool, a T shaped socket with a hole down the middle to fit your flat blade screwdriver down to adjust then hold the tappet while you tighten the lock nut...

The majority of Honda engines are manual adjustable tappets, no shims required, lock nut and centre screw to adjust :D

I think they are M14 with a 1.5mm pitch, If I remember tomorrow I will check for you.

Yeah posh dust caps are asking to be pinched, simply not worth the hassle lol!

Whats with the **** taking?? New style aero wipers are even simpler than conventional wipers to remove! They arnt a go faster accessory lol! As for the original question - As far as I`m aware there is no locking device available unfortunately.

Jap battery clamps are rubbish! Something like the product on this page would to nicely! http://www.holden.co.uk/displayproduct.asp?pCode=080.022# Oh and make sure you do get a positive clamp as neg claps are smaller!

Make is G-Lluxon, they look like a standard radial cap.

Hi all, replacing some worn out caps on a TV, I`m obviously familiar with the spec of the cap i.e 1000uf 25V 105C etc but also written on the cap is this.... 505B(M) written on a similar 1000uf 25V 105C is.... 504D(M) What does this mean? Ta!

What he said! Steering is usualy the first thing to go as its very high current demand. New alternator and battery charge time!!

Seriously what was wrong with a lever and cable!! Leccy handbrakes cause the mechanic lots of problems and cost the punter lots of cash!!

Sounds like your pads are worn out, Honda`s have a metal springy bit that makes contact with the disc and screeches when the pads are low!

^^^^^^^^^^ This is spot on advice! If you can persuade someone to buy you one then tear there arm off but never part with your own cash for one :) I remember always wanting a 155 because as a kid I used to watch them blast around in BTCC and alter on I really liked the 156 but they are just...

General advise on 2nd hand Alfas? DON`T! :twisted:

Hi Spark I think the idle is controlled by the throttle body and that has been cleaned out, I think the TB is the favourite suspect for the rough/poor idle and this fault code. Damn Renaults lol!!

A friends Renault Clio 182 (2.0L F4R) has a fault code stored, code is 0308 Bi mode air inlet solenoid valve. Can anyone tell me what and where this is on this engine?? Any Renault techs on here? I worked as a Renault tech for 12 months and did not hear of this part :lol:

Yes they do and yes they could! The only reason an outer split CV gaitor is an MOT fail is because grease could find its way onto the brakes, as far as I know the inner gaiter is not part of the test.

I dont think the inner drive shaft gaiters are part of the test :!:

Play in the diff! Thats not part of an MOT test! Transmission wise all that is required on the MOT is for the car to move! There could be an MOT issue if the gearbox is leaking oil excessively but otherwise its not part of the test.
