Looks nice I do like the 6 clocks!

Dave, isn't the C27A4 the accord engine, with different intake? Never heard of the A3 version. But the A2 is the none cat version found in the UK Legend and 827 from 87 to 90.

Ah yeah, the AC pipe running near the header tank.

On my MK1 Sterling the AC didn't get in the way.

Probably too late now but.. You need to place a jack under the sump, jack it up until it contacts the sump then remove the left hand engine mount (2 bolts), loosen the single through bolt and swing the mount towards the wing, then jack the engine up until resistance is felt, should then be high enou...

Wow, that's some dedication and skills there!!

When i first read that it came with a gearbox in a sealed box the cynic in me thought it wouldn't the correct box

The one that you bolt the headlight brackets to. It just kept spinning and because I was replacing the headlight I just cut the plastic bracket. Fitted a normal nut after I got it off.

That glass kit is handy. But my reflectors were shot.

Yeah :D The lights had mold and the reflectors were black... Straight in the bin afterwards !! As for the ride, a little firmer but much more body control.. No more jelly here :P In the bin???? :shock: You do know the reflectors from later lamps will fit and work don't you? As for jelly removal - a...

Replaced the rear shocks with my new Koni "reds", the orignal shocks were in pretty good nick compared to the fronts which were leaking. Set the shocks to 20ish percent from soft. https://s33.postimg.cc/ye8ub4a4b/20180827_114152.jpg https://s33.postimg.cc/8ip3s2swr/20180827_133954.jpg Then i fitted ...

Yeah. The Rovor did the same, felt fine so didn't replace it then noticed the same... Not that bad a job to do. My big Dewalt impact makes short work of most things including the crank bolt :) The little Dewalt impact for other things. Awful weather today so not going to do anything to it today but ...

Changed the water pump today.. The one i bought for it didn't feel right so i never fitted it as the one on it felt ok, so left it on but recently i've noticed coolant loss and upon inspecting the weep hole, it's leaking...... So i bought a new pump :D Took a video of it, so when i get round to edit...

Got to look out for those amphibious triffids!

Tell me about it, i thought it was snowing the day but it was little seed thingies floating around. Must have come off the neighbours tree

Only bits of floating plant that landed in the bucket from the time i carried it to and from the shed

Anything else was too small to see

The oil wasn't bad at all, I still ran it through a micro fibre cloth when refilling it.

Filtered the coolant as well.

Changed the clutch yesterday, it's like night and day now :D I'm guessing the judder was caused by the material that's been left on the pressure plate? I swapped the flywheel as well and cleaned it up. On the car before taking off it off (Clutch masters kit) https://s33.postimg.cc/oc94j3q3v/20180818...

I can see where you're coming from Dave, but i'd be worried if a ball bearing "bearing" needed bedding in

I'll strain the oil but i added Archoil AR9100 to it so don't want to waste that

Hope you feel better soon Dave.
