This may be a bit of a stupid question.............

My new rear hub/bearing assembly arrived today, when I come to fit them, will I have to put the dust cap back on over the nut? I actually took them off not too long before the bearings went, would this be the cause of them going?

One problem with me collecting bits for my engine build as i go along is that i don't have all the bolts for the engine... I need:-

- Gearbox bolts
- Starter motor bolts
- Engine mount bolts
- flywheel bolts
- Clutch bolts

And loads more... I don't fancy getting them all from Honda and spending hundreds on nuts and bolts!

Any suggestions?

I need some advise / help to diagnose my intermittent overheating issues.

Ever so often my heat gauge would start creeping up to about the 3/4 mark, and as soon as I start driving the gauge would drop.
It was initially diagnosed as a blocked radiator (aluminium), but after a 2nd opinion, the radiator was diagnosed as being fine. They did a pressure test, which revealed no leaks in the system. They also did some other test to check if the head gasket was gone, but that confirmed the head gasket is still fine.
I replaced:
Radiator cap (Behr as the the radiator needs one with a longer spring)
Fan Switch (Echlin as the oem one costs +/- R900)
Thermostat (PJ, gonna replace with OEM one soon)
Also bled the system and replaced the fluid with a 50/50 water and antifreeze mix.
The problem still persists.

This morning I noticed that when I switch the headlights off, the temp gauge drops. Can this be a symptom of the actual cause?

Any input will be greatly appreciated. ]]> Other Technical CS! http://www.ek9.org/forum/other-technical/26972-b16-heating-woes.html http://www.ek9.org/forum/other-technical/26948-s2000-starter-button-ek9.html Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:07:44 GMT Hi guys, i friend of mine took me out in his S2000 the otherday and i noticed it has a starter button rather than the normal, boring keys!

Not only did it cost me money repairing the door, the nice lads busted my window motor too. The guy in the body shop turfed it out the motor before I got a chance to look at it to see if I could recon it. Interesting thing is, I'm not sure if my car had Honda power windows or not! I have blankers in the door where it looked like a set of work out windows where install but the looms look OEM. Also there is plastic sheeting behind the door pannels with no holes for wind up window handles.

I had a look at the passenger side motor and its a Mitsuba Motor so is the factory supplier? I found a piece of paper in the books from the dealer with a list of the first (I'm the second owner) owner asked for and Power windows are on it so it would seem that they where fitted by someone in honda but donno if it's a retrofit or aftermarket kit. Can anyone help? Think the dealer it was bought from is now closed. ]]> Other Technical Sayers http://www.ek9.org/forum/other-technical/26776-window-motor-mystery.html http://www.ek9.org/forum/other-technical/26681-gathers-radio-cd.html Sun, 22 Aug 2010 07:53:46 GMT The Gathers system came on the car I just bought.

Any suggestions or advice or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated how to get it to tune in to local chanels, here is a picture of it.
