Honda help?

[Furrtiv]

Okay, so I am now Moggieless, but have in my possession a Honda Civic, 1997 R reg - and dare I say it, a rather nice little car. I have this novelty called a Radio, it means I can listen to Sarah Kennedy on my way to work and sing along to Tom Jones on the way home (on Fridays, at least!)! Oh, the fun! The long-legged other half enjoys being able to strecth his lanky legs out too, but I'm still hankering after a Traveller . . . oh well, maybe in the future.

Anyhoo, I need some help (yet again) - are there any Honda forums that are good? I would like to pick up info on this car for the little everyday things that I'm not familiar with, like tyre pressure, etc. One more urgent thing is to know what coolamt to put in it as I think it's rather low (if I'm looking at the right thing under the bonnet). Plus, any known faults/problems would be good to know about in advance, although I've been told by more than one person that these are pretty good, reliable cars.

I have had a quick search but there's so much out there, I don't really know where to start as I don't want to be trawling through countless internet sites when there's a good chance someone on here may know the right place.

Thanks for the help folks, it's much appreciated.

My father in law has a V reg Civic.
Basically a Rover 400 but better made with Honda engine.
I'm not sure if any parts are interchangable with the Rover version but the Honda bits seem to be very dear .
To be fair though it's ultra reliable so only routine service type parts needed over the last couple of years.
He was previously anti Jap car but now wouldn't have any other make than Honda !
