HillmanImp Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I did a car thing for the first time in months. Get me. The fuel gauge was suddenly reading zero the other day. I immediately assumed that someone had robbed my fuel but I couldn't see any spillage or damage so drove the car for a bit and it was fine. Went to the garage, lobbed a few liters of fuel in and it still registered nil. So today I took the rear seat out and swept out several years of crap. Yuk. There was a warning that I needed to ensure the fuel was below half level before opening. Unfortunately the only reason I'd be opening this is surely because the fuel sender wasn't working. So I've no idea. Is there another way to tell? Anyhow, it turns out I didn't need to open them as I gave both of them a firm THWACK with a lump of wood and a hammer and the fuel gauge started working again. So thats it. Thats my car thing. Back to shitposting and arguing with strangers it is. cort1977, JakeT, Stanky and 17 others 7 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Been down to Bridgwater to pick up this blue Civic for my mate. He's chuffed. Manual! 102k, was owned by a giffer until the mid teens when she left it in her will to her mechanic, who sold it on to prevent his son ruining it. A bloke bought it, kept it four years then his 23 year old son ran it for a bit. He's now upgraded to an E46 328ci so the Civic was up for sale. Top notch seller tbh. Saw the ex-HMC Chevy pickup going up the M5, as well as some legend A-framing an MG Metro with a Rover 45 😁 BeEP, LightBulbFun, HillmanImp and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very generic Kia/Hyundai part, so think this Kia Sportage one will fit (new clamp and bolt). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274096842522 I asked Kia for a flasher relay recently Their helpful answer - "Nope, it's obsolete, infinite back order and it's highly unlikely it will come back in to stock. You probably won't find one anywhere else m8 either because I know what they're like to get bits for" 🤦 He must have been having a bad day, or just being a typical parts advisor. One was duly found and bought from eBay 5 minutes later! egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That manual Civic is a real gem and isn't going to need much to be a cracker. It's had a series of caring owners with no intention to modify it at all - even has the original radio.

Saw the ex-HMC Chevy pickup going up the M5, as well as some legend A-framing an MG Metro with a Rover 45 😁 Hello, this is me! Been determined to find a 4G Civic since experiencing the joy of driving Ghosty's sedan quite a few times last year for various events and road trips. Ghosty saw it on Marketplace earlier this week, I was calm and considered with the seller who couldn't have been nicer, and actually ignored the 'I'll give you an insulting amount cash today mate' brigade because he clocked I was coming down from Manchestoh to view it. It would've been wrong to haggle him down even for a couple of hundred pounds given how positive the entire experience was. Other than a few small items which need some attention (non-oily, but I'll do filters, belts, fluids, water pump too) it's absolutely spot-on. It's in rude health and drives just like a happy one should. I'm absolutely over the moon with it.
