Did you manage to get to the bottom of this? Mine seems to have started doing this but have noticed that if I switch the car off and back on again it clears it/idles fine Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Turns out the battery is fine, what looks to be the problem was the isolation switch I was using. Guessing the connection wasn't as secure as I thought or there's an issue with it. But it's all good now [emoji1360] Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

All the door locks, dashboard lights etc work as normal, the car just doesn't seem to be getting enough power to crank over properly. Will get it tested and go from there. Does anyone know if you can free up a seized alternator is it better to jsut replace it?

I'd say around 4-5 years old now. Ok will take the battery somewhere for testing. Should the car not have started with a jump even if it is goosed?

One of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lidl-Motorcycle-motorcycle-batteries-1-2-120Ah/dp/B08N57KZ2Z Did try jump starting it today to rule out the battery and it did the same thing. Checked all the pulleys on the left side of the engine and found that the alternator seems to be seized, which...

Hi all, My EP3 has been parked up for a few months and have done some work on it whilst it's been parked up, mainly exhaust system. Went to start it over the weekend (battery fully charged) and it wouldn't start. More specifically it was struggling to turn over, like when the battery is low...

Does anyone know of any aftermarket CAT's that'll fit a DC5 4-2? Had a search online and can only see EP3 ones but no longer have the EP3 4-1 Thanks

Sorry to bring up an old-ish thread, I need to change the ball joints on my EP3 and was wondering if anyone had used Hardrace ball joints or is it better to just go for OEM? Thanks

I'm in Swindon. What I am going to try is a different bulb and see if that makes a difference as I noticed the new bulbs are 100w Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Few photo's of the connections etc. I have noticed today that if I unplug the main beams then reconnect them, the dim main beam blue light on the dash doesnt come on until I have put on the dipped lights then turned them off

I'll try and get some photos on lunch of all the connections and check the points you have mentioned. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I've changed the connectors to the correct ones but still have the issue. I have noticed though that main beam light goes off when you put dipped lights on, but when you got back to sidelights the light comes back. I'm guessing that there is some wiring issue as it seems like the mains are...

When they are on or of the bulbs/connectors? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Any ideas?

I bought a facelift conversion kit a little while back off of a forum member. Fitted it all fine with no issues at the time. The headlights came with some LED main beams fitted and some standard type bulbs spare. When I tried fitting the standard bulbs they work fine but the main beam blue...

Ballast received Lee :) All working fine again

I will let you know on Sunday as am away until then

Bought a 50W Hid kit from hids-direct about 3 months ago and had them fitted but my mate (electrician) Tonight the passenger side packs up, at first i thought it was the bulb but that was fine. When i switched them on with the bonnet up i can hear the drivers side ballast working but the...

Looks mint mate :smt023

Got a long drive on Sunday and i'm pretty sure one of my springs has snapped

Is there anyone in the Swindon/Wiltshire area that is able to change the springs on my civic before Sunday? Rysz

Hi Mike, I will have to pass on the b-pipe. Funding issues. Cheers anyway, how is the RM01A?? Rysz

There was a topic on CTRO about this and it sounded pretty common

Mintex discs are on ebay for £51 including delivery. I dont think they are too different from standard Honda discs (correct me if i'm wrong)

make sure you get a shell loyalty card as well :D yeah she does lol although haven't seen her in years

i have only ever put v-power in since i got the car i know some people who put regular in after using super/v-power and they said the car didnt feel like it was running as well but they do not know whether this is a placebo effect or not

i run mine on v-power which has just turned 120.9p i have had 250 miles on a tank, 70ish motorway and 180 spirited driving

I got my CTR when i was 22. Am 24 now

A couple of weeks ago while out in the car my head unit decided to turn itself off. Firstly none of the buttons worked, i.e. volume, tracking etc.. then the whole thing shut down. When I managed to switch it back on it required the security code. A few days later I switched the head unit off...

Decided as the weather was nice at the weekend that i would treat my car to a good wash and polish. Washed using Meguires Mitt & Meguires car shampoo (can't remember the name of it) Went over the car with the Meguires Clay Bar Kit Finished it off with Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Glass Cleaner

It's been a while since updated this last so thought now would be a good time First addition to the car was a set of JDM Mats. Thanks to Muxy for tracking these down at a bargain price. Then one of my bulbs decided to pack up so for the time being fitted some 90% brighter from Halfords...

Its a new customer promotion. . 10 months for price of 12 My renewal for this year was more than what i paid last year.

This may sound stupid but is the bulb in the right way round? I have seen a few cars that do the same as yours and was told it was the bulb

its on none of the above but he may well be on them wouldn't it be cheaper to sell his EP2 and buy an EP3 for the same power?

Depends how much you want to spend on the mods. A guy on another forum i'm on has an EP2 and is running around 160BHP

Just called my local Honda dealer as im in need of new pads and discs. Told me that front discs and pads are £120 fully fitted.

That's with Direct Line Best quote i had for it by far

I'm 23 with 5 years NCB and pay £480 fully comp with £350 excess so not too bad Pre-facelift 51 Milano CTR Protected NCB, legal cover & guaranteed courtesy car all included

Looks good mate, Were you stuck in traffic along Great Western Way last friday i think it was?

my mate used to have a focus st and told me that when it was standard he couldnt pull away from a civic.

Local DIY store or something? Mine are held on with 3H double sided paded tape.

the indicators flash on mine but it doesnt unlock might be the colder weather affecting it

nearly 2 months on and the same has happened again anyone else had this trouble?

i know mine is the older civic (ep3) but i used to do about 500+ miles a week i bought the car this time last year and had to change them (bridgestones) in sept last year. i got 10k out them myself and think they did a couple thousand before i got the car

i think it might have been the cold as it is all working now my deadlock locks automatically, i dont need to push the button a 2nd time thanks anyway

Hi All, Earlier on today (about 6.30pm) i got back to my car after work. Went to open it using the fob, the indicators flashed but the car did not unlock. Tried it a couple of times after that and the same thing happend. If i press the unlock button once then again within 5 seconds it double...

i've been getting really cheesed off with people lately parking in parent and child. my son is only 2 months old yet i get the biggest evils from people. yesterday in tesco, a woman and what looked like her 13 year old daughter parked in parent and child while i was waiting for a space even...

Autospeed in Swindon Bridgestone Potenzas RE040's £100 fully fitted

i got the red JDM mats in my milano CTR. really finish it off well and was lucky as i got them for £50 :D

heard this on radio 2 the other day anything from 1.8 upwards it helps

mine are starting to wear on the inside edge anbd i have been told it is due to the camber. a few people i know have said it too

i have proxes on the front of my car at the moment. they seem to grip better in the wet than the bridgestones and have the same, if not better in the dry. i haven't noticed it yet but they do wear down quite quickly as i have been told by a few different people

i think i get this but haven't really thought anything of it i get it worse when the car is cold

shame about the back end apart from that i quite like it

Hi All, My car is due is set of front tyres in the next couple of weeks. I currently have potenzas on the car. I have been looking at a couple of different tyres and was wondering what people's experience of the below is and what they would recomend? Bridgestone Potenza's Toyo Proxes...
