Fuel Filter can be a bitch to change, the fuel lines are on TIGHT, be careful not to round them off

Platinums are what Honda recommend for the car.
Iridiums will work fine and won't need around 20,000 miles, platinums last for 60,000 miles.

Iridums are more suited to Turbo's cars I believe.

grab a few cans of carb cleaner - always handy for cleaning out things like - idle valve, VTEC solenoid and intake manifold etc

Yep clean out the EGR valve and VTEC solenoid.

If so I just need to find out where they are and how to do it

yeah thats the stuff - expensive from halfrauds tho - i pay about £3 from local garage.
im using the iridium ngk plugs

and the hamp filter is much recommended
I had my local garage do the fuel filter for about £20 as i didnt fancy messing with fuel

Sorry for more questions but this time on belt replacements as the suggestion was to replace them all.

Are these the only belts I will need?

Timing Cam Belt

Alternator with AC Belt
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280593127391? ... 1438.l2649

Power Steering Belt
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280593127411? ... 1438.l2649

Also if I'm just using the car for weekend driving and the odd 1/4 mile fun trip

should I be investing in the Gates Timing belt or will OEM do me just fine. £100 difference

Thanks for all the advice so far, all the thread shopping list parts are now ordered and I'm awaiting delivery.

Note: Ebay just being used for baseline price will try other places to see if I can get better deals (unless people say these ones are fine quality wise)

I thought Honda used the gates timing belts as OE?

Some advice and confirmation if you wouldnt mind, sorry so many questions

Does £680 including parts and fitting sound good on the following:

All engine belts
Front Discs and pad replacement
Rear Discs and pad replacement
new fluids

The belts are Gates ones and the discs are Vetex

What do you think?

Thanks
