Does anyone know what the output rating for the alternator on the N22a1 diesel engine is. Thanks for your help in advance

Hi I have got the Honda Accord Service manual on disc and it only works with Internet Explorer. Just come to use it and am now panicking. I know it is possible to get it to work by somehow reloading Explorer but have completely forgotten!!!! Just going into the Default apps on the computer...

My engine is an N22a1 diesel - manual definitely says "change 2.2l Total 2.5l" Did locate the check plug in the end and drained of the excess oil I had put in but it still needed 2.6L according to the check plug Very strange but frankly not unusual with this car. When it goes it will not be...

Hi F6HAD Thanks for your reply. The reason I asked is because I have just drained the transmission oil and the checked fluid amounts in the manual. For a 5 speed manual Trans it states "change 2.2l Total 2.5l" Car standing on level ground. The position of the check plug, which is a long...

Hi I have read the article by Tarmac Terror re transmission fluid check and I am still a bit confused. I was given to understand that the oil check plug was at the front of the car just underneath the filler plug but having looked at the pictures it seems to show the oil check plug just above...

Hi F6HAD Thanks for the lead. I'll give it a try

Hi Channel Hopper Thanks for the post. They would have been OK but the dia is 80mm and I need 60mm Thanks anyway

Hi Blippi Thanks for your reply Life is never that easy is it??? As I showed in my post, the lights on my car are round. The only ones that are for sale are a different shape. Mostly semi elliptical even though the seller suggests they are for the Accord Mk7 diesel. So can't do that.

Hi Guys Fell foul of a stone thrown up by a car and it has broken the glass on my near side fog light. The fog lights I have on my 2005 i-CTDI are the round (approx 60cm dia) type. Honda part number 08V31-SEF-60011 for left side and 60010 for the right side. According to Andy at Cox motors...

Hi 2V50 Thanks for your reply. I am not sure but I think it could be the flaps control for the heating but I didn't want to remove it without knowing if I am going to dislodge any cams or springs. You are right - undoing anything down there is a nightmare - it is so tight and fiddly to get to...

Sorry - posted this in Petrol Faults?? Hi Having problems with the clutch pedal!! The spot welds on the mounting plate have broken so having to replace. Have sources new one from dealer which is coming from Brussels. When I came to take the old one out there are three nuts to undo and that...

Hi F6HAD Thanks for your reply The Alternator is still chucking out the correct voltage so will it still be an alternator problem?

Hi The battery light on the dash has just come on. Have checked the battery voltage and it is OK Have also checked the charging and that is OK Car starts OK Anyone got any idea as to what the problem could be? Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone who had done the oil chain job, give me a definitive idea as to just how far I have to go with the sub- frame. Do I just undo the one sub-frame bolt near the front right or both front or all of them. Do I have to completely drop the sub-frame or what. Thanks for any help.

Hi antdad Yes, it is the one I have on disc. Thanks anyway. Have you replaced the oil chain? If so, can you tell me, do I have to drop both nearside and offside bolts on the front that secure the sub-frame or just the off side?
