    Excellent. Pleased you found it. I first came across this issue around 15 years ago, when these cars were still under warranty. It took a while to figure out what the noise was but got there in the end.

    It sounds like it's the headlight adjuster motor causing the noise. Try disconnecting the adjuster. I think it's a 3 pin plug on the back of the headlight?

    The exterior looks clean enough, a bit corrosion developing on the OSR wheel arch. But it's the underside of these cars that don't weather too well and can potentially cause issues. If the condition of the underside reflects the condition of the exterior, then it might be worth somewhere near...

    Thank you. I am, now I've managed to work my way through most of the niggles. Just a couple of more bits to sort then on to the paintwork. The bonnet and front bumper need painting due to some blemishes.

    Thank you very much. I've spent a small fortune in such a short space of time. Fortunately, I can do the work myself. Which has helped keep some of the costs down, but not by much.

    This Saturday, I was able to spend a bit more time on the civic. This time sorting out a couple of interior bits. I wasn't happy with the driver's seat when I first collected the car. The seat back would move when getting out, and there was a bit too much wear on the bolster for my liking. So I...
