Yes thanks.
I think I'll try to buy the alloys and change the tyres (as suggested by Brett).

Thanks.

In addition, I guess the car will sit about 2.5cm higher from ground.
Would you guys recommend I change or look for right size wheels?

I've noticed a small drop of oil on my driveway. Confirmed leak when garage was doing the tracking on my car and had the car up on the ramp.
I have removed the plastic...
Update for those interested.
Changed my air filter as suggested. This made a huge difference to black smoke (first car I've owned where changing the air filter has made so much difference; old filter did not seem too badly clogged up).
Now I only get the greyish smoke (like on cold foggy days...
Thanks Jon and Brian for all information and quick responses.
Sounds scary loosing injector bolts while car is idling but I like the idea and will try it.
Pressure-relief valve fixed the starting problem.
I tried the DIY leak back test and all injectors seemed fine. No fuel leaking from...
Hi
My first post on this forum, although I have already found the information on this forum very useful (had a faulty pressure relief valve on my common-rail).
I have a Honda Accord 2.2iCTDi 2004 ~140K miles. I have only had this a few months and would like to remove the injectors and get them...
