Also....my headlights now started to get condensation in em...so I shall be asking if mine has had the recall for new headlight clips, when its in Honda!

Very helpful posts. Thanks for all the info. I shall book my car into Honda for official confirmation of exh leak then contact Honda UK. Mine is sitting at 87k so that should be a positive towards getting it done hopefully!

Nice work put into this! Made it reliable for hassle free motoring :)

Ive heard they won't. Lead to believe that only thing Honda offer is discounted parts and labour. £580 if i remember correctly and only up to cars 7 years young or 100k...whatever comes first. Mine has 87k in the clock and i can smell fumes now **looks skyward**

Ive always used Green Stuff as no point in getting Red stuff etc, as thats overkill. Old brakes were fine, no uneven wear and discs had slight lip. Caliper free and slides re-greased etc....as everyone would do! When i have time i will take pads out and check them. If bad i will buy OEM pads

The car stops fine mate but i just feel that with brakes being 'properly' bled via Honda, coupled with my brake upgrades, i expected better performance from them under extreme braking. It is maybe me being too fussy, but will go down the braided hoses route like i have done before. When they get...

I have also checked my brake pedal for 'pedal creep'. Holding pedal down hard when engine off and running. Pedal solid when off...and slowly went down when running. Mechanics at my work says thats normal. What is strange is that i would like my pedal to be the stiffness when i re-pump it during...

Yeah mate, defo harder pedal when pump once under braking. I will get Honda to fit braided hoses and bleed again. Once i describe my issue, Honda tech should bleed it properly/fully. Hopefully!

My car has 83k on the clock and hasnt been in accident or MOT failures. Most things in my car modified and car in fantastic condition outside and underneath. If i fit the braided pipes and pedal still the same then i wont be bothered! As i said mate, very poor pedal was only after heavy...

I changed ones on my civic mb6 and relatively easy to do. I will get Honda to fit them on Accord as i get staff discount and they can bleed them too :) Will purchase them on payday

This is the reason i asked. Incase the brake setup is different including pipe ends.

Thank you very much!

Where is the best place to get em? Is the petrol ones same as diesel?

Well drove to work and tested brakes normal and without VSA. No difference. Pedal feels a little soft but the brakes do bite well. It was under extreme braking (illegal speeds and slamming brakes in sliproad) that the pedal nearly went to floor. That is where i have the issue. I need my brakes...

He he Leaving for work in 10 mins!
