    Gearbox and Battery Hell

    Reverse lock has gone to so if your not careful will go into reverse not 6th. Having 5.4 and longer 6th done aswell so box is coming out anyway. Where would speedo converter be if it's on the box? And also how many earths am I looking for and where?

    Gearbox and Battery Hell

    Ok plugged obd in and shows few things. O2 sensor which recon is a broken wire where I have a spacer on decat. Misfire probably from battery dying and p1298 which is a electric load detector in the fuse box! Honda a shut now so will have to wait till Monday which sucks but making progress!!!!
