    rear brake sizes - tourer

    Are there only one size of disc for the tourer? I've been on Euro and GSF and GSF lists two whilst Euro lists one for my car, however last time I went to Euro I ended up with three different discs for my SAAB before we got the right one.

    Binding brakes

    My rear brake appears to be binding. It's hot to touch the wheel. I've read the threads on it and have a couple of questions before I drop it off to get worked on. Do I need a new caliper or can the old one be cleaned up and the piston replaced. Is it the flexible hoses that I need to...

    Bush

    Are there any polybush kits for the 7th gen accords? Only one I saw was for 1000 quid which seemed a bit steep. I have a knock of sorts that I will look at once I get it up on ramps which I suspect is a worn bush at the front.

    Solved well not 100%

    My car is 1000% better. However after a trip from Newcastle to London and back I have noticed the following. Push the accelerator gently and it speeds up nicely. Push it gently, let go and push it down hard, it has a flat spot, then starts to pick up. It works, it goes fine, but there is...

    SOLVED

    So garage called today, they have found the fault. Two pipes to the turbo were the wrong way around and one pipe to the actuator/wastegate was missing a clip and so wasn't on tight. They have tested the car and it's fine. £105 - which is a bargain in my books for a few hours labour. Tested...

    Turbos

    I've been having a good look on Ebay at turbos just in case mine is goosed. Prices range from 200-900 but about 200-350 appears to be the norm. CRV FRV Civic and Accord are often listed for the 2.2 Were all N22A1 on them. Is there a difference for N22A2 So just to check are all these...

    Butterfly Flap and EGR

    I cleaned my intake intake flap thing at the weekend, it wasn't too bad and is possibly off a scrapper from the paint marks on it. I noticed the butterfly flap is held on my two screws to the bit that moves it. Has anybody tried running their cars without the butterfly in place? I get this...

    The saga continues

    So I had my frequency solenoid replaced £117 down plus 50 to the garage. Faults cleared. Drives like a completely different car, but still goes into limp mode with the same error. So to recap. Rag it and it goes like stink. Drive it sensibly there is a significant hesitation at 1800-2200...

    Decat

    Whilst under the car yesterday I had the pleasure of spotting a hole in my cat. It is blowing, not enough to be noisy, but something that will need attention before getting the ecu tinkered with. How does the ICDTI respond to a decat pipe fitted? How much is a replacement cat? The last one I...

    Error codes

    I now have my error codes. P1237 - which on google is something to do with fuel pump - not great, but still have faith in changing that fuel filter P1065 - something to do with power to the ecu - which I hope/presume is due to the flat battery from the knackered alternator, now changed. P16A4...

    Labour rate on fuel filter

    What should I be paying labour wise on a fuel filter being replaced? If using Honda it would have to be Springfield here in Newcastle, although I have been recommended a specialist racing garage near by that has a Honda tech working for them.

    No go then limp mode

    So the alternator has been replaced and everything electric wise is ok for the moment. The power steering pump is noisy and is on its way out one day, but not too fussed about that just now. What I am concerned about is the lack of go. 1st is okish 2nd onwards there is nothing until...

    Replacement Alternator

    Parrot mki9000

    Am I going to be able to fit my parrot mki9000 easily into my accord with premium sound system? Is it going to do my head in fitting it or is it a simple job? Will I need a different cable for it?

    Diagnostics

    Any recommendations for a diagnostic tool from Ebay? I have a standard ODB cable that I used on my Saab, but not sure if it will do the job with some software for a Honda or if I need something a bit more specific, and probably from China.
