Honda fuel main relay: Annoying only if you do not know what to look for. For someone knowing the typical signs and someone able to use a solder iron, it is fixed within minutes. I did so quite a few times and all work fine ever since. Honda ALB: Honda should have most/all of the spares, but at rath...

Nice to see someone keeping the grey/black plinth and not fitting smoked lenses!

Those look like non-colour coded bumpers that someone has painted. I have never seen a 400 with the non-colour coded bumpers which hasn't had grey door bottoms. Incidentally the grey door bottoms are a vinyl covering not paint. Underneath the grey is the paint like the rest of the car. The grey is ...

On my SOHC the lambda sensor came out with just a standard ring spanner. I cut the wire as I wanted it to get out anyway. I think I used an open ended spanner to put the new one in (wire - the original plug I put onto the universal sensor is too large to fit through the spanner). There is not much r...

Nice one - an early one too. The lambda sensor is easy enough to change, I manged mine in about 20 minutes using a universal single wire one without removing anything else. The time included crimping the original plug onto the wire of the sensor. The heat shield rattle is rather typical - on both my...

I agree with the above. If in doubt try to find tests for current seat models, there are essential differences in safety! As said, most child seats are 'universal', which means they are basically approved for use in any car with a tree-point belt. But it needs to be made sure that the seat will fit ...

In some markets (like Italy) the Tourer was also sold in 416GSi spec - having the Honda DOHC engine and the dark grey half leather (optional full leather) interior of the UK market 420GSi Tourer. So if both have the Honda DOHC engine, the differences will be rather small - except for possibly differ...

Had a little look this afternoon. The changeover years that had the early grille but later indicators. Either had a unique grill (and used later hockey sticks) or had unique hockey sticks. Anyone on here got a car with that spec? The grille-bar is the same. The hockey sticks differ from cars with c...

We had this on ours and replacing the rack (due to a worn inner track rod end) also eliminated this - but I think it was the universal joint in the column.

Locking the car with the key will only de-activate the alarm! It needs to be unlocked or de-immobilised with the remote. So I think there will be no or next to no savings regarding battery drain. The immobiliser can indeed be de-activated by entering the code number given with the car via the driver...
