    binding rear n/s caliper

    The rear near side brake caliper appears to be binding to the disc and causing a "blue" affect on the disc. It was mentioned to me the caliper wasn't releasing properly when I took it in to Honda last time and was taking a bit longer to release. They said it may mean the caliper needs replacing...

    replacement wheel sizing between Accord and Civic

    Thanks Michael. I'm of the opinion it will fit as well, but I was wondering if anyone could be more definitive!

    replacement wheel sizing between Accord and Civic

    I had 15 inch alloys with budget Mohawk M716 tyres on my Accord Tourer estate (195/65 R15 91H) but replaced them so I'm selling these. Someone has asked if these wheels would be suitable for a Honda Civic 06 that currently has 225/45 R17's on. I ***ume they want it as a spare / emergency use...

    Tyre questions

    Cheers. Had a look and they rate better than the Goodyear AS2 on wet weather braking, and the same on fuel. They're actually 1 Db louder though! Slightly more expensive as well... 15 quid a corner means 60 extra for better wet weather braking.

    Tyre questions

    Finally getting around to putting my new wheels on but have a few questions... I have a 2005 Honda Accord Estate Tourer 1. Tyre size. I have 17" pentas - is the correct size tyre 225/45/17? 2. Someone has mentioned a decent tyre is the GOODYEAR EAGLE Asymmetric 2. I noticed the ratings for...

    Front o/s wheel noise

    This morning whilst reversing into a space at the train station my front off side (drivers) wheel started making a horrible grinding sound. When I drove it back home this evening the grinding noise seemed to have disappeared, until further into the journey when going left it seemed to return...

    Stereo options

    Oh god, it's not good. Been speaking to a fitter and I'm well and truly down the rabbit hole. He has recommended this unit http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/25/109/281/AVH-X5700DAB/page.html and I'm even talking about fitting a sub. I'm 37 for christ sake :)

    Stereo options

    Sorry for the stream of thoughts... whilst upgrading the head unit, would it be worth installing a sub?

    Stereo options

    Please excuse my stupidity, but what do you mean just buy an adapter? Where would I get one and where would it plug into? I'm completely dense with this stuff...

    Stereo options

    Yeah this is what I want to do. Dug up the thread you mentioned and it looked pretty good, but I'm not sure I want to replace the existing stereo on top...

    Something like that looks spot on TBH. Can you give me a little more info on the unit etc.?

    Stereo options

    I want to replace the stereo in my car so I can either get bluetooth installed to connect my phone, or even a simple AUX in connection. Problem is the unit seems quite integrated with the AC control etc so I ***ume a straight swap with an after market stereo isn't really an option? I've been...

    Enkei Honda Penta Wheels

    Wheels finally arrived and when I took them out to take a look they were in a great conditions, but seems they are actually Commodore alloys! They have HONDA stamped on them as well, so ***ume they are just the same style different alloy producer. Still happy with them and can't tell the...

    Steering wheel play

    Wouldn't even know where to start (except maybe Google and YouTube...) Is that a major change if the problem is with them? I doubt I'd ever look to do that myself, but good to know for taking it to a garage.

    Steering wheel play

    I'l take a look, but I'm not sure it would be that easy. I'll speak to Honda and see if they can diagnose. Just don't want to pay for a complete rack replacement... in fact I wouldn't. It's not that bad at the moment, just hoping something can be tightened (or topped up!)

    Enkei Honda Penta Wheels

    Looking forward to receiving these and getting them on, although I need to source the actual wheel nuts from somewhere as the guy selling the alloys doesn't have them. I could just put the existing ones on I ***ume (?!) , although they'll be the wrong colour of course... I could spray them...

    Steering wheel play

    Does anyone have an idea on potential costs to fix steering wheel play, i.e. can turn the wheel left and right quickly and not really affect the steering on the vehicle. It's not overly excessive at the moment, but definitely noticeable. Interested on what it could potentially be and the cost...

    Enkei Honda Penta Wheels

    Thanks for your reply. Yeah, know about the tyres. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look Oddly enough an entire fully refurbished set appeared on ebay today so bought them. Cost was £390, which I think I'm happy about seeing as a refurb was quoted at 280. Factoring in the cost of the...

    Enkei Honda Penta Wheels

    I have a 2005 Honda Accord Tourer Estate, that has I ***ume the standard 16" alloys. I want to replace these with some penta's and through a little bit of digging it seems Enkei produced the OEM Honda penta wheels, that look like the ones in this picture: I've had a look on eBay and there...
