Fuel relay for the Honda 1.6 D series engine

Hi everybody,

Following on from the “Common faults for our cars” - I understand that the fuel relay can be replaced by a pattern part- or at least one that doesn’t come from Rimmers- does anyone know what can be used as a replacement, please?

Cheers
Mark

Re: Rover 45 Diesel not revving

Hi - I would also consider for future ref the EGRV (Exhaust gas recycling valve)- had a friends Rover 25 2.0 TD do the same a while ago, struggling to pull, not wanting to rev etc, so after a bit of research, I made a small ally blanking plate to bolt between it and the manifold... and result- back ...

Re: Water into drivers footwell...how?

Well- bit the bullet and had a new screen last Monday- £75.00 excess, and with the proper blue tint line at the top...took Her to Croydon to have it done inside.

Hi all, Is it possible, or has anybody here tried, recoating or repainting the grey bumpers on the earlier R8’s? - we’ve got a bodily very good condition ‘94 216SLi but the bumpers have faded somewhat and have been stained or gone white in a few places- silcone spray/ trim treatment doesn’t really s...
