    Tourer rear screen washer jet

    My rear screen wash stopped working a few months back. Now we're almost in winter and there's salt on the road, it's becoming more of an issue with road dirt being sucked up onto the screen. The pump can be heard working, and if you persist screen wash fluid seeps through the head lining on the...

    Roof bars for Tourer without rails

    Thanks. This may sound like a daft question, but how do they actually attach to the car? In the past I've had cars with mounting points behind the upper door seals, but I can't see anything on the Accord.

    Roof bars for Tourer without rails

    Can anyone recommend roof bars for a 2004 tourer without roof rails? Preferably ones that won't break the bank, but open to any suggestions! And advise on how to fit them? There is no info in the handbook that I can see. TIA.

    Grey 17" alloys colour match

    My alloys as above have a few small kerbed areas (previous owner, not me!) and the white undercoat is showing through. They're not bad enough to need a full refurb, nor could I justify the cost, but I could certainly improve how they look with a little touching in. I'm thinking of getting a...

    Cleaning carpet mats

    My Tourer Exec has the ivory leather interior, complete with genuine Honda carpet style floor mats. They were when I bought the car it had been valeted to a high standard and was immacculate inside and out. Inevitably, after owning the car for 7 months the mats are getting rather grubby now. I'd...

    Timing chain 2004 accord diesel engine

    Picking up on this a little late, I know... I bought a 2.2 CDTi tourer in March this year. 05 plate, and 110k. Despite what I thought was thorough research before buying the car, the only information I found on line suggested how reliable they are! I didn't pick up on the timing chain faults...

    Poor dipped beam.

    Problem solved. Very poor blue bulbs. Put the Bosch ones in that I bought for the other car. Had a quick drive down an unlit road. No problem at all now.

    Cruise control switch

    Does anyone know if the cruise control steering wheel switch panel is the same for petrol and diesel models? As I have mentioned elsewhere, I have a dead diesel which I have replaced with a 2.0 petrol. As the lettering is worn off on the new car, I may as well do a craft swap from the old one...

    Poor dipped beam.

    I've seen mentioned on here many times complaints of poor dipped beam headlights. I have a pair of tourers. With my original diesel one I had no complaints about the dipped beam at all, and that was with bog standard Halfords bulbs. Thanks to suspected timing chain failure, that one has been...

    DIY 7th Gen Dipped Beam Headlight Bulb Change

    Halford's application list is still wrong, almost two and a half years later. I went in the other day to pick up a bulb for my newly acquired Tourer. It was only the fact I'd seen it on this thread that I realised it was H1 I needed. Mentioned it to the ***istant. She said loads are wrong and it...
