As others have said don't mess with A/C. It's one for the professionals really.

I've recnetly started servicing/repairing my car (also a Civic - but an 04 plate). No experience. Just YouTube!

It hasn't taken much in tools. Some have just made life easier too (I bought a trolley jack for £50 for example - could have used the emergency one that came with the car). Axle stands are about £15. You can get cheaper but I wouldn't scrimp on safety. Mind you I made wheel chocks out of some fence posts I had and they work great.

So far I've done

Oil and oil filter. Just needed a socket set (This is great, and does 95% of stuff. Even has spark plug sockets). I also bought a filter removal tool, catch pan, funnel and can to hold oil. These were about £20. But I could have done it with some old plastic containers at a push.
Spark plugs. Easy. Just needed that socket set.
Changed manual transmission oil. A bit trickier as I needed another set of axle stands (£15) and a £15 pump to get the oil up. Could have used a funnel and hose, but this way was easier. Needed a 3/8 breaker bar as it was too tight for the ratchet in the socket set. Could have used a 3/8 converter on a 1/2 breaker bar if I'd had one at the time.
Cleaned out the throttle body. Needed some throttle cleaner spray and a toothbrush (>£10). Then just the socket set. A £4 set of picks and hooks (Rolson ones from Sainsbury's) helped with a hose, but weren't essential).
Adjusted the throttle cable. Just needed a 10mm spanner (spanner sets start from about £8).
Adjusted the handbrake. Just a screwdriver.
Replaced the headunit, added component speakers, amp, subwoofer. Needed that socket set and some trim removal tools for about a tenner. Already had a multimeter and wiring kit (you can get these for £20-30). Also replaced door handle trim and pedal rubbers.
Removed, wirebrushed, rust treated and sprayed the exhaust manifold heat sheild. These always rust out and are impossible to get in good nick. So I wanted to stop mine getting worse. Got some wire brush attachments for my drill, Kurust and high-heat spray paint (probably £25). The bottom nut was rounded to hell so I needed get some of these. Worked a treat.
Removed wheels and wirebrushed, rust treated and sprayed wheel arches where there was surface rust. (probably £15 for spray and more Kurust. Rear wheels were on super tight so needed a 1/2 breaker bar and some sockets (£12).

I'd happily change brake discs and pads if they needed doing. Air filter was new, but could have just popped one in when I did the throttle body. Pollen filters are easy too. Would be a bit more nervous about changing the brake fluid though.

&#x200B;

Main dealer service (just an inspection, oil and filter change and topping off washer liquid) is now £170 with a major service at a whopping £275 just for adding filters and brake fluid. You can get much cheaper at independents, but still save a packet doing it yourself.

I've paid for all the tools in year one in labour costs. An oil filter and oil change next year would only cost me about £30.

Just make sure you keep records of everything you've done.

If you want to spend a bit more on Honda parts these guys have been good

It did. I had an issue where it wasn’t opening all the way after install but support was very responsive via WeChat. They sent me a software update file to load onto a micro SD and pop it in the control box and that fixed it in literally 5 seconds.

Regarding the physical installation, make sure you have everything you need if you’ve never done anything like this before. Get a set of trim removal tools and a fish tape to fish wire through. There’s cheap options on Amazon, you don’t need anything elaborate. You’ll need a metric socket set and a T45 Torx bit. My kit was missing one of the small T tap connectors so I ordered these T1 connectors which I ended up replacing the other two from the kit because I like these ones better.

I’m still not 100% sure how you’re supposed to get that wiring up through the rubber tube in the trunk. Mine got stuck half way and I had to make a cut to free it and wrap it back up in electrical tape. Taking the connectors off the end would be my best guess if I were going to try it again.

It’s quite the project, and you may find yourself launching tools across the garage at a couple points, but in the end it’s very cool. It really should’ve been included in the premium build of the car IMO, especially after you see how simple it would’ve been as a factory option.
