Second tank just over 48 mpg, measured using an app from fill to fill. OBC said 45.5 I think. It was pretty much just work and back, so a straight 80 miles a day. I've put BP Ultimate diesel in it now to see if it makes any difference at all.

Anyone had to get a spare key made? I'm guessing it's pricey.....?
Soldato
I guess only Honda can do the remote key but normal key cutters can do the key?

I had a local key cutter do my new remote key when I had my VW Bora, so I'd imagine third parties can do it.

Cool, I'll look into it.
Anyone know if one of these would work? http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/dab/antenna-cables/autoleads-pc6-536-dab-aerial-splitter
Not sure whether Hondas have amplified aerials or not, I think they don't but not sure.
Also will I lose wheel audio controls with a new HU on a 7th gen 2005 civic?
Cheers

have not been around for a while. I seen that i missed ATR vs EP3 war where winner is obvious 
Anyhow update from myself 700miles of hard driving braking engine in and oil turned amber lost maybe few ml but cant tell as not moved at all in my eye. Where before i was at 0.5l/petrol tank ehhh b18 if you got oil in em they keep going and going and going. My mates dc2 was burning almost as much oil and still survived 8 fill day track days before he sold it
Anyhow weather in Nottingham is good and i have some small bits to do on it:
Left xenon bulb died cant blame it its 18 years old
left front calliper start seizing again need to clean\grease guide pins while
Change brake disc bolts to SS ones that are not worn
Cross swap wheels for fun

I sold my civic 1.8. 2009 with 110k for £4100 so that sounds ok. Check climate control works and blows cold air. Common problem is the relay - £22 for upgraded part from Honda!

Don't make me bring up the ATR again.
Pretty good from what I remember. Leather needs a good clean and condition though. Think I've had the refurb 18months+ now.
She's tucked away in the new garage atm, will get to give her a wash and clean next weekend so will let you know.
