  3. Sorry. I never paid all that much attention when studying Russian as a minority O level 35 years ago.

    Mind you, I was already doing French, Spanish and Latin A levels. Maybe adding another language was pushing it.

    I can still read the alphabet though.

  4. Phil one of my mates is married to a rusky, if you are still stuck I can see what I can do for you. Can you be a bit more explicit about what you want done, ie a translation of the aforementioned part, or you need it ordered as well.

  7. I have tried lings, as well as my local honda dealer. It seems the part was discontinued in 2005 when the car was just three years old. It's not keeping the car off the road, you just have to keep an eye on the coolant level. Honda UK have escalated my enquiry and are going to try and source one, as they agree parts availability should be no problem on a car barely 11 years old.

    It's had the problem since I've owned the car, it's an irritation rather than a big deal. It just means a slug of coolant in the tank every week or two (I do 500 + miles a week) no big deal, but I'd rather it didn't do it.

  10. Honda UK turned out to be as much use as a chocolate teapot. It's the pipe from Russia or a complete engine as a donor..

  11. I'm struggling to get a workable translation via google chrome. If I were to send money could the part be ordered on my behalf? (With a very substantial mark up for the effort of course) it's the steel coolant pipe with two small pipes coming off it. Part number 19505-PDA-E00

    Thanks

  13. Get one made locally in stainless by an engineering firm.

  14. Not a viable option unfortunately, can't remove the one from my car as the car cannot be off the road, and Honda won't release the drawing for it.

    Amazingly it's looking like I'm going to have to buy a complete engine for one part. Steer well clear of Honda cars, the cars are good but Honda UK just don't care.

  15. Phil, I have a buddy in Russia who may be able to help.

  16. What about getting the part from a breakers, even if only as a pattern to get one made?

  17. I must have emailed just about every beaker in the country, it's always the same response - "sorry, cannot supply" I'm actually looking at buying a complete engine for one part. Disgraceful on a car just 11 years old, especially from a manufacturer who's reputation is for unfaultering reliability

  19. Things got much worse, and the car expired in a very large cloud of smoke (not steam) on Monday. Picking up an 03 seat Leon tomorrow
