Car: Honda Civic 1.5 LSi 1994 M reg
The previous owner did not properly care for it so I'm covering all the general servicing now (either myself if I am able to do it or by an official garage)
The owners manual said to do the following general service, personal priority orientated first:
• Engine oil and filter, needs replacing
• Air cleaner element, needs replacing
• Transmission oil, needs replacing
• Front differential oil, needs replacing
• Spark plugs, needs replacing
• Timing belt (and balancer belt), needs replacing
• -- Cam belt & fan belt (If not already listed above)
• Engine coolant, needs replacing
• Fuel filter (including aux, filter for carburettor type), needs replacing
• Brake fluid (including ABS), needs replacing
• ABS high pressure hose (equipped for ABS), needs replacing
Issues that are currently ongoing with details (priority first):
• Weird grungy noise whilst car in motion, sounds a bit like a tyre grinding against a piece of plastic but a friend mentioned something about a cv joint/bearing? [Detail: Whilst in motion & in gear the noise can be heard both during speeding up & slowing down. However, when it is not in gear whilst travelling, it is inaudible]. (which part could it be?)
• Ability to take key out of ignition at any state, even 'ON'. (How to fix?)
• Passengers electric window struggling to move whilst about mid way then speeds up when almost at top. (How to fix?)
• Steering wheel not standard as second to previous owner replaced (momo steering wheel). Upon turning, it sounds like the ball bearings are grinding but still smooth motion. (How to fix?)
• Lights illuminating the temperature & fan settings sometimes turns off permanently when changing the fan speed/fan position then turns on again if you change it again. (How to fix? Fuse?)
• Lock to both passenger & drivers door a bit stiff. (How to loosen up?)
• Temperature setting on dashboard stiff to move. (How to loosen up?)
Issues that I feel confident in fixing myself:
• Front lights are both dim, full beam is OK but not very bright - Bulb replacement?
• Interior light not working. - Bulb replacement?

Joshua.
