A great buy - those Estates have more space than my 2015 CRV. These 7th gens are fab cars and great to drive Change the oil every 6k miles and they run forever Keep on top of all other fluids too especially the gearbox fluid I still have my 2006 ICTDI Accord and its at 320k miles with...

I ***ume you have already done the short belt update and idler pulley removal on the ICTDI https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/7th-gen-new-aux-belt-alternator-diy.11712/ Maybe you have installed the original longer belt and the original idler pulley has already been removed causing the...

Cheers guys for the advise and info Managed to get it sorted :0)

Hi Guys Havent posted on here in quite a while as life is so busy with a new born and the Accord has been running fine until now. I have just noticed a slight issue on the home commute on friday, one of the injectors is slightly leaking. (hissing) I popped of the engine cover and grabbed a...

The Mannol oil is a c2/c3 rated oil so pretty sure it exceeds the requirements of a a5/b5 spec as it is meant for diesel cars with a DPF. Any 0w 30 oil is fine for the ICTDI engine, the 0w 30 is the important bit of the oil. Change it regularly and the ICTDI engine will chug on forever - Dont...

Shes still chugging along at 300k

I use to get the 20 litre drum from lube tech, but I have stopped buying it due to the lack of space to store a drum now. I just buy Mannol 0w 30 oil from carousel Parts on ebay. Ebay always does 20% off vouchers so it works around quite cheap for 6 liters delivered. I changed the oil 3 times a...

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...

I can confirm too. Long member of the fourm and have been using the oil since 2012 Accord is now on 275,000 miles and still running sweet. I cant buy the drum anymore as I dont have the space for it so have to look at alternatives I use this oil now...

Here are the Blueprint parts form Amazon UK Make sure it states Supplied and dispatch by Amazon to make sure its genuine Blueprint Air filter https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B8UECXM/?coliid=IS8HWFVF0NUFF&colid=100X9GMBJJG2T&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Oil Filter...

Honda increased their prices by a large margin after covid so I now use Blueprint for everything including Pollen Air filter Oil Filter Excellent quality and half the price of Genuine filters. Usually purchased through amazon The only filter I use Genuine Honda for is the fuel filter. There...
