Thanks to Steve for his advice regarding parts required.

I have a willing friend who will carry out the service for me, he's very good with engines thankfully.

Also if anyone has a working ashtray without broken corners I would be interested in buying it.

I am thinking about having the seats re-covered in leather also. Any recommendations in the Yorkshire area please?

[MAMOOK]

Anyone?

Do I have to order parts from Japan or will Honda UK keep stock?

[old'uns]

UK dealers can get parts but most probably there will be a waiting time depending on whether in stock in Europe or Japan
1-4 you can get cross referenced at Motor factors..sure theres a few threads on here? hit the search
Air filter not too sure, got mine from dealer about a week from memory?
the rest will be dealer only i guess, Dizzy cap/rotor was a month, water pump will probably be the longest, i was quoted 2-3 months but it did arrive in 6 weeks.
don't be fooled into thinking some of the parts on eBay are cheap, they're not, check dealer first

Hi All,

I have spent £330 on the parts listed and will begin my service asap!
My friend is contemplating dropping the engine out so he can have a good look at everything whilst it is out.

I am 6'4" tall and my knees clash a little with the standard steering wheel. I would appreciate advice regarding which steering wheel set ups people have adopted on their Beats, pictures would be most appreciated.

Kind regards
Dave

I wouldn't, you will cause yourself a lot of unnecessary expense and grief. E.g things not coming undone and adjustments needed etc.
All those items you listed are easily carried out with the engine in.

[MAMOOK]

Cheers for the advice Steve.

In stock in Honda Europe, so available for a UK dealer to order with 48hrs deliver, But then did MAMOOK get them via UK dealer so stock already sold??

UPDATE: Just checked stock today - None of those parts have current stock.

[MAMOOK]

Yes sorry,
Ordered them from Harratts Honda in Wakefield and 48hrs later picked them up.

Hi all,
90% of the parts fitted and the engine started first time and sounds sweet as. My lamda sensor has sheared due to corrosion, how much are they and availability. Steve?
Awaiting a price for reupholstering seats in two tone leather, then its onto paintwork and fitting of new hood.
Stainless twin pipe exhaust recommendations anyone?
Then a lovely summer with my lovely Beat.

Original Oxygen sensors are still available - 36531-P36-003 and there is stock in Honda Europe, But at £339.94 inc VAT, I think I would be looking for an aftermarket one, e.g. NGK, matched up at a local motor factors. Its a 4 wire sensor, some thing like a Civic one should fit with a bit of wiring extension. (Beat O2 wiring is quite long compared to other Honda models)

[Steve_M]

Something like this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oxygen-Lambda-Sensor-Honda-Accord-Civic-CR-V-HR-V-36531P2EA01-OZA444-E1-LB1367-/150950730291

or this

Check if a beat has male or female 4 pin plug and how long the original one is.

[MAMOOK]

Wow!!!! Does someone pick the European sensor off a Honda stores shelf once a year to blow the dust off it?
Cheers for the advice once again Steve.

[MAMOOK]

Hi Steve,
Im unsure which exhaust sensor has failed now if I'm honest . its the sensor nearest to the rear of the exhaust. dave

4 wire or single wire?

Got light on dash? Engine light or cat over heat light?

[MAMOOK]

Hi Steve,
My engine light used to come on intermittently.

Dave

[MAMOOK]

It looks like a single wire sensor. The wire is shrouded by a stainless steel shroud.
Dave

[Steve_M]

Cat overheat sensor.

Has no effect on engine running, just puts on dash light if cat overheat (dash light looks like a box with heat waves) (Was never fitted to any European spec vehicles, Japan spec only)

37810-P36-003 @ £263.80

Item no. 15 below.

Hi Steve,

Dave

Read your engine codes will identify why.
