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 😁 LightBulbFun, AnnoyingPentium, egg 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.
