Thanks Steve, much appreciated.
Karl.
My mechanic has managed to read the codes from the face of the crankshaft.
OK, so I've got "CCBC" on the block, "222" on the rods, and "CDC 3222" on the crankshaft.
If I'm reading it correctly,...
I definitely got that squeaky noise when you turn the engine off, also a "coffee grinder"-like noise that was continuous - eventually turned into a "coffee grinder with a rock in it" noise, not nice.
Thanks for that. I've just been on the phone to the mechanic, who still says he can't see anything on the crank. We have at least got the numbers off the con-rods ('2' on each one). Unfortunately I...
G'day all,
My Beat's at the mechanic's shop at the moment, having suffered a water pump failure ("so that's what that noise was!"). Anyway, I'm taking the opportunity to get the engine rebuilt -...
It's the tyre bead profile - it identifies the shape of the rim's contour where the rim and tyre meet. J is by far the most common, with JJ sometimes used on 4wd vehicles, older Jaguars used the K...
Can't help with the bonnet, but I do have the rubber seal for the driver's side mirror.
Ahh. I replaced a broken driver's side mirror a couple of years ago. Can't put my hand on it at the moment but I'm sure I didn't throw it out. Not entirely sure whether the replacement mirror came...
In would appear that cleaning the switch with contact cleaner spray has fixed the problem - hasn't played up for a week.
Thanks for that. Here's hoping it's the switch and not the motor. Actually I've removed the switch from the surround and sprayed some contact cleaner in there, after which it was working properly...
My driver's side window has been a bit troublesome lately, it always goes up without a hitch, but is sometimes unwilling to go down. Not sure if it's a switch or motor problem. Sometimes the window...
I went with a premium (but not personalised) registration number - there's a once-off fee for that ($140), but the ongoing cost of registration is as normal. I got the slim front and standard rear...
My Sparcos are (were) exactly like the ones on Yahoo at the moment, only yellow.
Thanks for all the info, plenty of options there. I will need to wait for the insurance company to cough up the dough...
Thanks for that. Any thoughts on using rinkya.com vs using Juno for Yahoo auctions?
Well, the insurance company finally approved the repairs to my Beat, but they're going to give me a cash payout on the two alloy wheels that were destroyed in the accident. Given that there's no...
Thanks everyone, you've given me some good pointers to get started on my search. Beardo, do you have the name of the dealership you worked with? I thought I might try emailing them first, & save...
G'day there. Someone ran into my poor little Beat on the way home from work & it's now at the crash repairer. Honda Australia can supply all the parts except the driver's side rear quarter panel,...
Ok Simon, look forward to it!
Karl.
CharlieBrown, the yellow Beat on Hampstead Rd would be me. It will be great to see another Beat in Adelaide!
Glad to hear they're fixing it.
Thanks Oz, that's great news. No big hurry, so after August is fine.
Karl.
Have any Beat owners in Australia found a local source for service parts like timing belt, air filter, etc?
I'll need to get my cam belt changed soon & I'm wondering whether anyone in Australia has...
+ passenger side sun visor. (At this rate you could sell TWO beats!)
+ Exhaust Cat Temp Sensor
Sorry to hear about this - I hope they fix it for you, but if not: I'd be interested in the passenger side door trim, the (if original) gear knob and the ashtray. Possibly more.
