Yep, the ECU Doctor fixed my problem in the end. Thanks for the tip!
I meant to say, thanks for your great help Phil. The ECU doctor successfully solved my problem, so all is good!
I need really help from the forum. Does anyone reading this have a working Beat anywhere within say 100+ miles of the Bristol/Bath area? I’d be incredibly grateful if we could meet up and briefly try...
Thank you again Steve. You've been a great help to all of us over the years.
I’m still suffering this problem, and my MOT is running out soon. The wiring continuity seems OK, I’ve twice swapped...
With slightly aggressive driving, my Beat is now triggering an error code 4 (Crank Angle Sensor) and going into the sluggish limp home mode.
I believe from one or two forum posts and the wiring...
One alternative to that, which should also help limit rust, is to leave one or two dessicant dehumidifying bags in the cockpit. They will need occasional recharging
in the oven or microwave to dry...
There wasn't a Mugen version of the Beat (though there are Mugen parts available). You meant the top line Version Z of the Beat. Its main difference was a limited slip differential - total overkill...
The crazily short gear ratio choice is one of the best things about the Beat - it is geared like a racing car, so that it just reaches the red line when it gets to the max speed expected. Although if...
Blimey, steveinjapan, you should get it seen to - must be running way too rich. What lambda reading does it get in the emissions test as part of the MOT? I typically get about 330km per tank, I think...
This was my successful experience - it might be of help. The air con chap could not quite believe that the air con system was still working despite zero maintenance (except a new belt) for at least...
I think I may still have my old distributor, which is about 9 years old and was replaced 1 year ago after not many miles, possibly unnecessarily, as unbeknownst to me at the time, I was being led...
Yep, the capacitors had blown, but about 4 years ago I got them replaced and had bypass circuitry installed to jump over the parts of the PCB damaged by the capacitors' acid. The repair fixed the...
Thanks for your help Steve, as always. Everything on my car is now sorted, pretty much.
I checked the resistance of the compressor coil, and suspected that it had shorted, so got it replaced, and...
I need new studs around the hood, including in the boot. Honda's OEM studs are obscenely priced at about £45. Did you find some 3rd party black ones which fitted?

Thanks Steve, when it comes to Beats, you're like Obi Wan Kenobi and Gandalf rolled into one. :D
I've recently had a problem with the ventilation and Air Conditioning (AC) controls failing, with none of the lights below any of the button selected lighting up. I replaced the 7.5A fan relay fuse...
Wow Graham, you crazy fool/genius. I like your style. Not sure this'll save you money, but it sounds like an awful lot of fun. Keep us all up to date.
When you're done, maybe consider entering it...
New calipers have been discontinued, so I sent all 4 calipers off to BigRedd to be refurbed. They gave it new seals, new custom pistons and a polymer coating, for £240 or so. Can't complain,...
So, can you tell me if it worked OK without a tape mechanism installed?
My stereo is playing up, whirring and beeping with no sound, but I just want to listen to the radio.
Alternatively, does...
I have a passenger side seat belt guide for sale. Still interested?
Bruce
Ahh, where did you get the new floor mats in original grey zebra style? Mine could do with being replaced.
Ta
Bruce
Yes, it is still for sale. Are you interested?
Bruce
No disrepect to Paul W, but if any of you need a replacement, and are waiting around for his non-standard ones, bear in mind that I waited for well over a year, but he just never seems to get round...
Honda Beat Passenger Seat Belt Guide Bracket for Sale
This Seat Belt Guide Bracket mounts next to the passenger seat and ensures that the seat belt properly rests over the passenger's shoulder. It...
