First check the pipes that feed the rack, well known for rusting and leaking, especially the one that bends around on itself. Replaced loads of them on 6th gens. Drips down onto rack and have seen honda dealers charge over £1100 for a new rack when all it needed was a pipe.

Linas your new sensor should be with you any day now. OP I wasnt involved in the sale of your sensor personally, but am aware you didnt want to pay the fee for us plugging our diagnostics in to test the circuit, remove the light etc. We would have easily have told you whether or not the sensor...

We charge £215 plus vat for cambelt change, which includes tensioner. And we have all the tools for locking crank pulley, locking balance shafts etc.

If you have a deep socket and a u/j you can simply pop out the ashtray from the rear of that console and adjust it without taking any screws out at all.

It will possibly last thousands more miles or potentially collapse a bearing and destroy the transmission. Impossible to tell, however, try a transmission oil change, may help a little. A used gearbox will be of course cheaper, in fact i have one sat in my store room should you wish to buy one...

Input shaft bearing failure is common on 6th gen gearboxes, not a cheap fix, gearbox needs stripping and bearings replaced, full set of bearings around £200, plus labour for stripping and rebuilding box.

ATR discs are 5 stud, so no. pads are a lot bigger so wont fit either.

Have sold and fitted two sets of coilovers this week to Accord type r's, both owners absolutely made up with new ride height and suspension feel,

Still £600 ish with cheaper springs, can get a decent set of coilovers from us for that money. Then you have height adjust, spring preload adjust, and damper adjust. Seems simple to me.

Get a decent scanner/diagnostics machine plugged in, any mil flashes should be recorded.

FFS Halfords is the worst place to buy anything for your car, usually wrong and ALWAYS way too expensive.

Absolutely fine for everyday driving.

I bet a set of koni yellows and eibachs is close to £600 now. In fact just checked Koni yellows for fronts are £140 each. Rears £115 each. Eibachs on top of that, makes it a very expensive set up.

And we can beat honda's prices and quality of work hands down on that very job.

7th gen is a little more difficult yes, but still we can do those at a much lower price than most dealers etc, as we specialise in this kind of work. We also get great prices on new clutches as we buy direct from Honda japan in a lot of cases. I think last 2.4 accord clutch we did came out at...
