Lude Generation

Im not 100 sure but seriously doubt it will fit. I would look for correct part and 5th gen you need to be aware of different exhaust systems between vtec exhausts as they made some changes for the 98 onwards BB8 ukdm model as well.

I had just cleaned the BB6 and was checking tire pressures when a waitrose delivery van turned in and hit the lude rear bumper. did get a bit of a fright and was a bit shouty at the driver especially as he denied this at first but could not argue after having a look at my car and his van. He did apo...

I think we all have had some issue with rear handbrake at some point. There is a procedure on how to set the handbrake - wind pistons back in - loosen handbrake adjuster under centre console - refit calipers and pump brakes a few times - with both wheels up in the air pull handbrake to one notch and...

Thanks wurly :) I dont think they spent much time on it. They replaced a driveshaft (burst outer cv boot) a couple of weeks ago and told me they spent 4 hours on that job - they were not too happy. Im probably close to getting banned from yet another garage :x Nobody even the Honda Specialist want t...

I took the BB1 to the local garage today and asked them to stick it up on the ramps and see if they could find any obvious cause of this vibration thru the gearstick. The could not find what it was and there was nothing obvious like a loose heatshield. Their observations were it is most noticeable f...

25p difference on V Power near me. Its worth using one of the websites for finding cheap fuel-that is what I should be doing so its a good reminder. Tesco E5 Momentum and Sainsburys E5 super unleaded are worth a look. Here are prices near me:- Tesco E10 £125.9 E5 Momentum £133.9 (+8p) Shell E10 £134...

This has proved a difficult one for me to pin down so I have taken drastic measures and booked in to the local Honda Specialist on 2nd June.
Off the bat balance shafts were mentioned as possible cause.
Will see what they say once they have got it up on the ramps and had a good look.

£1.59 for V Power in Edinburgh.
When it first came out I think the price difference versus regular unleaded was 7 pence per litre.

nicely done

Thanks all for your help and suggestions etc. :) Yes im hoping that it turns out to be a heatshield - probably the one Vtecmec said - it looks ok but like Drax says they do rust and rattle. If its not that then it will be exhaust off like Merlin suggested. I refitted the intake resonator box to put ...
