Doubt they'll admit to anything but will drop a message on the local group chat on F.B 👉

The car has been run daily on shell fuel save for a few months but the last fill didn't smell right IMO 🤔either way cannot trust the car until this is resolved.🥲

This is what I'm thinking TBH

Well, there's the first time for everything and after collecting some audio equipment from Derby the car randomly stalled at traffic lights and refused to start, no DTCs. After abandoning the car to head back to H6 HQ for some tools and spare parts and after swapping the ignition coil (Pretty common) still no joy.🥲 So I reluctantly called the AA how embarrassing 🫣 but cannot fault their service TBH. Anyway, he went through the basics and couldn't find anything wrong then the car miraculously started and ran like shit, so opted for a tow back to HQ and now the car has fixed itself and is running okay-ish.

Looks like this motor will eventually be heading to H6 HQ to be saved and my mother will be having it following her retirement. This motor will be replacing her current 2007 civic and 2001 accord sport too...

Sorry for missing this one I strongly recommend you disconnect the extra bulb and wire them both separately on a relay with a new power feed as everyone that's attempted a DIY overloaded the multiplexrer unit or damaged the fuse box.

Nice find 👍

The 2006 model is a 7th generation and the parts won't interchange unfortunately.😑

🤞

Nice motor 👍

That's frustrating obviously somebody got it not long after I posted the link 😦 anyway the current part number IAC valve is: 36460PAAL21 and the radiator part number is: 19010PAAY51 (auto) 19010PAAA02 (manual)

Hi there I am sorry to hear of your recent troubles 🥲 I have checked a few part numbers and crossreferenced etc only result in the UK is coming back to a NISSENS 63345 Radiator which is available on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125937023863 Additionally the UK 1998-2002 model does share the same valve Denso REF: 136800-1141 : https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/540526777 I would avoid buying a new cheap Chinese valve as they rarely work.👌

Hi and welcome to the club, the RA5 shares a lot with the UK RA1-RA2-RA3 Honda Shuttle as you may already be aware. Anyway looking at the diagrams and despite the exhaust being routed exactly the same it's very different.🤨 So a custom exhaust would be the best option on this occasion just remember to get them to copy the original with resonators and silences as best they can as it will rob the car of power if they are not part of the new system.
