Hi guys, 2003 Honda accord type s. In a bright blue colour. I'll get the right paint code off the car tomorrow. But where can I go to buy the paint, for touching up a few rust spots? Thanks Dan

Hi guys, Is it a straight swap to get some factory HID headlights from the exec model and swap them straight onto the 2003 type s model? I'm thinking (hoping) quicker and easier than an aftermarket HID conversion. If this is possible, would it have to be the pre facelift headlights or will...

My VSA light pops on occasionally as well. Does anyone have the part number for the whole sensor as if its only cheap I'd rather replace it than mess about with it?

Thanks. I was worried it might be oil or unburnt fuel passing through the engine somehow.

Hi guys. Only had the accord (2.4 petrol) a few days and i have noticed there is a black watery discharge colecting in the end of the tailpipes. It does not smell. Anyone help with a diagnosis?

Here is my car: Headlights need to be restored. Nice little project for when I get a free Sunday. There is some rust on the rear arches. This is the better side: And this is the worse side:

I understand yes, the meguiars kit doesnt come with any of that so im not sure what to buy?

£22.50? http://www.meguiars.co.uk/shop/meguiar-s-headlight-restoration-kit Seems a bit steep for some fluid and a buffing pad. Also some of the Meguiars reviews are saying that the discolouration comes back in a couple of months? Any other options? Oh I'm also looking for car mats for it...

Thanks. Gearbox oil change booked in for next week, and will try the greasing the clutch pedal trick too. May be back if still getting a stiff gearbox after this. Can I ask about the headlights please. Firstly, the plastic is quite clouded and spotted. Ive read a couple of headlight...

Is it possible to swap the headlights from an exec model which has xenons directly to a non xenon model?

Well ive ordered my gearbox oil and 2 washers from Holdcroft Honda only came to about £18 including delivery and be here by friday. Amazing service, very impressed. Sorry no photos yet, bit tricky at night. Its bright blue! Ive found that shifting into first and then into reverse eliminates...

Thanks. Just a quick one on forum etiquette. Is it ok that i continue to use this thread to ask my questions or shall i start a new thread for each topic? I want to ask about several other things over the coming days including headlights, rust, HID conversion.

Im ordering the oil online so i need to know what washers exactly i guess? Honda wanted £175 for the gearbox oil and engine oil and filter change. My indy will do it for £85 if i supply the gearbox oil so i might get it done there. Is this not the haynes...

Id really like to give this a go myself now. Can anyone tell me what replacement washers i need please? Also thinking of getting the haynes manual for this car. Anyone verify its a good buy and useful for the novice diyer?

I wouldnt say the clutch is heavy but i have nothing to compare it to. Its not slipping at all. There is no receipt for that though. It is a shorter travel than my previous car. Honda mtf3 something i can get from any honda dealer parts desk? Not sure about changing it myself though i have no...
