Re: Heater hose....where to get one?

Thanks for the replies, the hose is shaped......has 2 elbows and also a slight kink in the middle.
I think he is going to try and get to separate elbows and make a hose to fit.

I am planning on keeping my profile open, as my friend who bought my Tourer may need some pointers every now and then. I have owned my...

Re: Honda DOHC V SOHC Gearbox

Hi, I would also like to know if there is a difference in the ratios with the Honda AUTO for the SOHC and DOHC engines.

Re: 216 GTi Honda TC engine - ABS fault

Thanks for that info on the plug location, I am going to go and see if I can find it now. Even the Honda dealer I took the car into thought it was on the left hand side as well!! I shall also put the Rover mechanic right as too!!

Re: 216 GTi Honda TC engine - ABS fault

Apparently there is one....'somewhere in the front of the car under the dash area' as I was told. I have a twin cam Honda in my Tourer and had an ABS fault as well. We pulled back the carpet and checked up under dash on the Left side of the car. We never found the plug. My Rover trained mechanic was...
