You can get them direct from Honda and aren't that expensive, but as it's a cambelt off job to replace the balance shaft seal, you may as well replace all belts while you're at it.

Honda sell them if I remember right they are about £1.75 I could be wrong though its happened before

Yeah I was gonna replace belts anyway as the oil would have ruined them even though they were replaced last year, will I get the retainer from honda aswell?

I believe it is a Honda only part.

Thats fine then will be phoning honda nxt week for prices, I just hope the engine doesn't seize as it will be sitting for a while without oil

No it won't the engine components will still have a covering of oil, it's just you'll have none left in the sump!
