S2000 Owners swear by 'Shin-Etsu Grease', available from all Honda dealers, part number 08798-9013 to sort out leaky seals. It works too :)

I should have elaborated. Depends if the front of the sill is considered to be load bearing.

Not entirely true. Any area of corrosion that is deemed excessive by the tester will fail. Alot depends on the tester, and if he got laid the night before :)

Good luck jacking your Z up to work on the front suspension if the front sills are knackered ;) Unless the Z has had alot of other work to correct corrosion, and is in very good mechanical nick elsewhere, I'd consider getting rid :( You could spend a grand on a bad example, and it would still only be worth a grand...

Whack the relay whilst turning the engine over. Relay connectors/internals can be cleaned using emery cloth if that's the problem.

Roger...many thanks :)

I will be replacing both of my manifolds (hopefully) in the very near future. Have you got any hints/tips to do this with the engine in situ?

Great write up...were you experiencing engine issues?

Shin-Etsu grease available from Honda dealers, part number 08798-9013. This is what S2000 owners use to grease (and therefore expand) their soft top seals twice per year. It is proven to work and may just solve your problem.

New temp sensors are ~£12. I had a code 13 on mine...renewing it sorted the problem. To be fair, it's the usually the connectors (shocker) that are the problem, rather than the sensor itself.

Change the lamp...it's usually the culprit. If that doesn't work, check the connections as mentioned.

Is there nowhere else you could relocate it? The OEM position is shat to say the least.

I'm guessing it's at least a days worth of work :(

What's the need for lifting it at least half way out? Is it just that there isn't much room to get tools in etc?

I'm replacing all of the exhaust (including manifolds) as the N/S blows like a bitch and the rest of it as pretty ropey.
