Bump - no one down this way servicing their car in the next couple of months??! Could possibly sort pickup from Reading also if that helps anyone...

Due to issues sorting postage (sorry Scott), BUMP!! Strictly pickup only as it seems most couriers don't like handling liquids?? Can pickup either from Swindona area or, if it helps, Witney area. Thanks.

Bump - £45 collected. Anyone?

£45 + postage??

Bump!

Hi, I have 5 litres of Silkolene Pro S 10w50 and 5 litres of pre-mixed Toyota Red Long Life Coolant, both still sealed. £50 for both, pick up only. Thanks, Paul

I know, that's the problem - I just can't justify it while the Prelude is still going strong, especially having bought the toy earlier in year which really did stretch me to my limit. And I'd get peanuts for the Prelude - it's worth so much more to me having been so UTTERLY reliable in the last 3 years. If I have a mad moment (or if the missus allows/encourages me - just shown her and she said "that's nice" in a somewhat resigned tone of voice) I will be in touch if it's still around. Some else, buy it quick before I give in - so much fun for so little money!

Hmmmmm...looking at one of these as my next daily drive as they're sub 2k, fun, and reliable as you like as long as you maintain them. I was thinking about the 1.8iS, but I really like the look of this. Trouble is, I promised myself I'd run my Prelude until it dies and it's not showing any signs of doing that at the moment - bloody Honda reliability! Is there much diff in insurance prices between the UK and J-specs?

Had a brief blat with you on the road from Clanfield (where you seemed a bit lost?) to Bampton before you turned off to Black Bourton. I was in my Marmite M Coupe! Lovely looking Supra

You're right - I don't believe you. Where did you get that info from? While I agree that many manufacturers share parts and engines (recently discovered that our Fiesta TDCi engine is shared with the Peugeots), I was under the impression that the 1.9 TDi engine has been a VAG unit through and through for years now and was one of the first of the common rail units to show just what can be done in terms of performance with a production diesel. Sorry, after the Prelude thing last night, it must seem that I'm deliberately targeting you but, without some sort of official info, I think you're wrong!

Personally I like films with Orcs and Elves in...or those with Sam Jackson and John Travolta as hitmen

I meant Ian's comments regarding the reliability if the B18 (albeit incorrectly in response to your comments about Preludes going bang) SHOULD apply to the Prelude VTECs also... Afaik ALL the VTECs (I've owned 3 different variants with no issues whatsoever) should be as reliable as pretty much anything else on the road if they haven't been (a) abused, (b) not serviced properly or © both!

I still think Ian's comments apply...the Prelude 2.2 VTEC is as reliable as all the other VTEC units if serviced. Had my UK BB1 as a daily driver for 3 years now (longest I have ever owned a car) and the worst fault has been windscreen washer motor failure or a warped front brake disk! Best all rounder, including lack of hassle and running costs not just out and out performance, I've ever owned (Corrado VR6 included!) and, IF I could find another reasonable mileage and UNMOLESTED 4th gen, I'd buy another as a cheap and cheerful daily driver in a heartbeat. If not, I'll probably end up with a DC2 ITR which is no bad thing!
