Hiya "justlurking" Yep I still have it and its still going. I recently acquired my brothers old 2002 Honda Jazz, that car will be used as my ULEZ car so the Accord can stay for now as my work commute doesn't involve any ULEZ roads :) Its now at 282,802 miles - still going strong. I just did...

My clutch started slipping in 2016 at 134k miles Its now 2023 and the car is now at 280k and still going fine. I just dont drive the car hard. However, if the clutch pedal starts to vibrate when accelerating away, then the DMF is on its way out. i would then look at the clutch replacement...

Welcome dude

Very true, up until the end of the pandemic Honda massively increased their prices. I used to always go genuine parts for the Accord but As she is getting on abit now I cant justify the spend on parts. If the patterned parts lasted another 3 to 4 years and even replacing it again it would still...

I just did my front upper control arms on my 2006 2.2 ictdi Accord last year before Christmas. The originals lasted an epic 270k miles before the ball joint had lots of play in it. I replaced it with Meyle, Honda genuine parts were just too expensive. I also did the Drop links around 5 years...

Just noticed my clock came in sync last week but 2 hours behind Through the sat nav I adjusted the clock 2 hours forward and woohoo the clock shows the correct time.

My old alternator acted quite similar several years ago It showed 14v whilst the engine was running but then it suddenly died after 5 mins or so. Turned out to be the alternator. They are easy to change, you just need a special long arm tool to release the tensioner and remove the aux belt...

2006 Accord ICTDI Owner here. I do mega miles for my commute (2500 a month) not including social stuff I have always changed my oil every 6000 miles and have done since I purchased it in 2014. It has never missed a beat and doesnt burn any oil. I believe the original oil change interval for...

Not sure if you done your callipers yet but I did my rear callipers way back when I bought the car in 2013. Usual Honda issue with the rears seizing up. Just replaced my rear brake pads last weekend and the callipers are still going strong :) Bought the callipers from here and also bought my...
