Crank pully done - cracked two sockets in it. Long 14mm made short work of the belt tensioner. No more sewing machine tick! The car has thrown a code to work with - P1236. Found one vacuum line barely on...time to check what else isn't on, the rocker cover was off so things got disturbed a...

Edinburgh and Glasgow too, Glasgow started last year - Edinburgh is starting this year. Thankfully I'd rather just not drive in the centre of town areas covered by the zones anyway!

Which side of the bed and how hot their lunch was ! Had some testers miss some utterly insane things - Peugeot 206 with both rear axle bearings away. Wheels out at an angle with sideways movement in both trailing arms. Passed with that, no advisory. I'd rather have someone picky than someone...

Leak back test kit took too long so I swapped fully back to orig injectors bar the refurb. Slight black smoke on throttle, a gentle white on idle. Can be see as it drifts in front of the headlights when stationary, nothing nearly as bad as it was. Did a leak back test - cheap and horrible kit...

How does it look? =AZX6vY064CvEAmd223c8nMmz-asz3LuLx5tjpOuwtrH_STAQh__su5t1V7OINokrrxigYZzEtrdNkLLzx0Bd0XZr0QCoO2DoOJymEV5LvVI2xhu6kUeITf4pEzqG1-deCUWI-uiBMZnCArzUB_aEHtm64K3ApaPSZIoz1AZqKTdw6WU8J1bOUp0dqlzbnzfP9lI&__tn__=-UC*F']Gaijin'z Garage Check that page. At least one tinted accord there...

I'll get on that stat - ebay kit here I come ( well, amazon, but it will probably be single use junk, beggers can't be choosers and I'm not going to bodge one, though I should!). I changed #2 as well now anyway, I'm starting to think the injectors out of a civic were not the greatest... also a...

Half a tank of (old now) premium in it. Now a full tank - topped it off with fresh fuel earlier. Sadly no improvement as of yet. 35 miles covered since refuel ,just scraping above 30mpg, and smoking and vibrating like it's missing when on the throttle. Seriously lacking power! I've started...

Update - Passed the MOT. Mechanic says look for a new car. Well that ain't happening - Can't afford another one to start with! Lack of power and white-grey smoke when on the throttle. Reeks of diesel behind it. Considering the car sat for so long I was expecting a worse result. I'm ***uming old...

I figured so! Been just a few days past a year now since I came down to you for that. - doesn't at all feel like it. It's got premium fuel with cleaner in it, just the problem of it's all 6 month old fuel. All the injectors bar one sat out disconnected for months waiting on an injector removal...

It's still blanked from when you mapped it I took it round the block in 1st abusing the throttle. Redline , repeatedly... Huge puff of smoke the first time, not as bad the second, turning less black each time. Car is now smoking a lot less - barely visible film of smoke, and not staining the...

Hi all, this post is mildy embarrassing. Hopefully my process and eventual result will help someone in future. My Accord has been laid up for 6 months with a snapped injector bolt that the mobile guy who came up on google didn't want to touch , turned out I should have just called a local...

Got lucky there then! Painful job for just the release bearing though that's for sure. Suprised it wasn't noisy! Glad you got it sorted.

At a guess you'll need pedal switches ( brake , clutch ), wheel, looms for all that , and it will probably need enabled somehow. Bound to be a pile of work, but worth a try!

helicoils are a common fix for clamp bolt, work just fine, the bolt can and will shear , happened to me... still waiting on fix! New bolts available from honda dealers , aprox £7 each. Make sure the injector reatainer is seated fully down before putting bolt in, mine was just off and damaged...

Master and slaved changed - it's not the hydraulics. Liable to be the clutch is going. What's the miles? Driving style is the overall cause but they do seem to have an average lifespan! Mine gave out right after getting the car, aprox 160k. Ended up so far gone gears couldn't be selected when...
