    Power steering rack leak

    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.

    F20B6 engine lambda

    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...

    Gearbox whine?

    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...

    Aftermarket Suspension?

    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.

    Aftermarket Suspension?

    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.

    NEW CLUTCH?

    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...

    Fuel Filter location 2.3 TypeV

    Fuel filter is under car just in front of passenger rear wheel. You will probably get covered in fuel doing it unless you have a ramp, Is held on by two 10mm bolts which will probably be seized, the new filter wont come with a clip so will need to take off old filter carefully, then it just...

    NEW CLUTCH?

    The clutch is NOT adjustable, If it is biting way too soon there is a problem!! Either the slave or master cylinder is having issues or the clutch itself is failing. Having replaced about 100 Accord clutches i would say its a failed spring retainer, but without seeing the car impossible to gice...
