    Front Fogs....Oval or Round

    I fitted a front spoiler with oval cut-outs.. My CDTi has round foglamps. I had to remove the lamps in order to fit the spoiler and then make new brackets to fit the round foglamps. It was very time consuming and a pain in the balls. One of the lamps has cracked since..stonechip or whatever...

    Braking system in the 2.2 diesel Accord

    Here's a few things that I've come across about brakes, and not just Honda related.. I had an Audi Coupe years ago, and I changed the front pads (standard Audi whatever they were, can't remember) and by chance my local Motor Factors supplied Pagid pads.. the difference was very noticable, much...

    Low Coolant = Limp Mode.

    Yep.. My temp gauge went to just above half-way...nothing to notice really, so I'm grateful for the Limp-Mode kicking in, otherwise it could've been terminal.. So the thing is take note of your Temp Gauge when everything is "Normal"...so if it deviates then you know that there's something amiss.

    Low Coolant = Limp Mode.

    Hello Lads, maybe this has been mentioned before... Basically, If the coolant level goes low, and as a result the engine temp increases, the car will go into Limp mode without any warning lights on dash or fault codes on the ECU. I lost a small amount of coolant when I removed the inlet manifold...

    Camchain worries...yes, that old chestnut!

    If the engine runs quiet and smoothly now, all is good so maintain the oil and filter changes regurlary.

    Drive shaft Saga... Thinking of saying goodbye to the Accord...

    I have to disagree with you toffee_pie. A pair of Blueprint shafts cost me 230 Euro. My car has been re-mapped so is producing more torque than standard. I know this because I did it. It does not do track days, and I'm sure not many CTDi cars do.. However it is driven fairly briskly on the road...

    Intake manifold and EGR cleaning on i-CTDi

    Brake fluid leaked out from rear caliper. The piston came out past the seal even though the pads weren't worn down to the limit. Wound the piston back in, fitted new pads and it's good as.. Now to replace the clutch and flywheel. 800 Euro for LUK flywheel & clutch kit... Here's hoping she holds...

    Crunching Gear

    Bleed the clutch fluid at the slave cylinder on the gearbox. Only takes a few minutes and can make all the difference. If the slave cylinder isn't operating full stroke then you will get crunching gear changes, and the reverse selection problem that you describe.

    Best HID kit for 8th Gen Accord Gunmetal Grey

    6000k in my car look white, no problems with NCT, but they can cause a lot of interference on the radio. I like to listen to BBC R2 on 88.7 and where I am in Ireland reception isn't the best at 40-50 miles from transmitter in Newry. Switch on the lights and no more BBC2. The same thing in my...

    n/s rear end clunk

    Swop the rear wheels over. If the noise stays on the same corner then you can rule out the wheel/tyre. Check that the backing plate isn't rubbing on the brake disc, or if there's debris caught between them. With the car jacked up and the wheel still in place, try rocking the wheel from top to...
