No idea what it is. Just won't start. Have checked nearly everything now and am grumpier than a grumpy thing.

Does it turn over?

Turns over; fuel gets through; new plugs, rotor arm and dizzy cap. Earth straps seems OK.
I next tried to replace the coil-pack but found that the two screws you have to approach from underneath are too tight to undo without risking rounding-off the pozi slots. I shall have to remove the dizzy, I suppose, and remove these screws on the bench.

There was a Honda recall for dodgy ignition switches. I don't know if ours has been done. I wonder if there's a way to test the switch by by-passing the ignition side of its final position?

if it turns over but does not start it may not be the switch, but unplug it and try another my money is on the Dizzy

Today I gave the scooby a bath, I also used detailing clay for the first time. I have to say I was really impressed with the difference the clay made, the paint on the front end of this car originally looked awful due to the amount of brake dust/rust flecks embedded in it and I thought the clay wouldn't do much. However, it's cleaned the paint right up and left it nice and smooth. I'm really pleased with the outcome, especially as I originally thought I was going to have to spend a fortune getting the paint sorted on the Legacy as it looked like somebody had ground up a fourth gen and sprayed it all over the bonnet

I used the meguiars stuff and I'll definitely be using it again on my other cars

All clean, just in time for the rain!

claybar is the dogs. Its great but you dont really appreciate the difference till you machine polish a claybar'd panel. They literally feel like cream.
