After having to pay some import duties it's finally arrived.

Fitted in about 30 mins.

Shifting is mega crisp and positive,  very well made piece of kit.

Had a bit of an erratic idle, cleaned the IACV and now we have 850rpm! Also fitted a catch can and changed the breather setup to mirror Honda's original intentions. New oil change and filter and a fan switch to manually turn on the fans. Plus a new primary O2! Fitted a lexan rear window too!

Just need to find a MOT station in the South West that is 'friendly' as it's just over on CO and that's the only thing holding it back! Also need to set up the brake bias as I'm getting 90% front (which is scary!).



PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WILL BE APPEARING IN THE FOR SALE SECTION SOON! DISCOUNTS FOR EARLY BIRDS THAT HAVE A FRIENDLY MOT MAN 😆

Managed to find a wiring diagram, it's for a LHD car but all wires lead to the body control module. My thinking is that if I had a broken wire in the door bellows then it would also blow a fuse going down as they both use the same two wires to the motor just with the polarity changed. It looks like the BCM has some type of relay in it which I'm hoping is faulty. About £15 to change it so worth a go I think?

cheers

Who knows indeed.

Edit.
Looking at what needed swapping around. I deemed it too much phaff. The risk of damaging the plastic end caps and the buckle wiring. I gave up and put the original seats back in.

I have pfl seats in an fl car with no problems at all. Everything works as it should

I've also had two sets of fl seats in the car at various points with the same belts and again no problems - as you would expect on an fl car with fl belts, of course, but again, no issues with pfl seats either

Who knows!

I was (slightly) caught out with that too when putting in UK driver side slides at the EU passenger side. Now both sides are adjustable in tilt/hight.

Quote from: bobbe on May 28, 2024, 10:12Interesting. I've had both pre- and post-facelift seats in a 2005 car and not had a problem with the seatbelts. Is it the case that a facelift buckle will work in either seats, but a pre-facelift one will not?

That does seem odd!

May be worth taking out every single fuse and replacing one by one. That should make sure they have a good contact as oxidation can occur making a bad connection.
Shouldn't take too long as long as you have a fuse puller and then you know all should be good there at least.

Quote from: Topdownman on May 28, 2024, 11:56Presumably that means there is a short somewhere?

Can you trace and check all the wiring for damage or water ingress somewhere?

Going to try and do some basic test with a multimeter and see if I can find anything obvious.

The odd thing is that it is the passenger window fuse which blows (fuse 26) drivers side fuse is ok

Presumably that means there is a short somewhere?
