    REVIEW - Clutch Install, Accord i-CTDI

    RE the tone of your post (I hope this doesn't come across as offensive) Fair warning is not unwarranted with a complicated procedure, but I do think it is unnecessary to have this job performed at a dealership. I completed this procedure with a SAC tool (£60) and a 3D printed alignment tool...

    Gearbox replacement question (MK8 and MK7 compatibility)

    2006 Diesel Accord Starting Problem

    Hello I bought a 2006 Honda Accord in January which came with what I suspect is an ECM/PCM fault – the key has to be turned between stops 1 and 2 many times before the green key light will stop flashing and the VSA light disappears. At this point the engine and coil light come on, go off and...
