    valuation gen 7?

    Forgot to say, it's a 2.0l petrol. No offence taken :-) At this price, I will most likely donate the car to my niece to replace her clapped out R plate Fiesta! I bought the accord as a stop gap anyway. It's done the job, and it's time to move on. Thanks.

    If budget is no issue, Eibach. May cost you extra, but you should be able to order and specify the travel & spring rate to match your coilover/dampers and how you plan to use the car. Plus, they are renown for maintaining their rate over their life compare to less expensive brands.

    Power feed for phone

    Apologises for going off on a tangent. Is the "socket in the arm rest" specific to the EX model? I have the usual socket at the base of the centre console, so wonder if this was just a change in placement or a second socket in the EX model. Thanks Tom

    Rear Brakes Refurb

    Hi, It's nearly a month since I picked up my new Accord, and I have decide to give the rear brakes a good refresh in the coming months. Although the current rear tyre wear is fine, history shows the car had some inner tyre wear issue a few years back. Been the cautious type, I plan to fit an...

    braided hoses

    Knightmare, Good idea to check on Goodridge website! :blush: Looks like they only supply for 2.4L, but I wonder if they are compatible for all Gen 7 models? Will drop them a mail to find out http://www.goodridge.net/documents/downloads/retail/UK/car_app_guide_2012_uk_rrp_stainless.pdf...

    braided hoses

    Hi I am planning ahead of a few servicing jobs, and brake fluid change is one. Additionally, I like to upgrade the standard hoses to SS braided hoses at the same time. I've been searching the Net, and only found Goodridge braided hoses for the 2.4L but none for the 2.0L...
