Just over 95k Think our MOT is a lot stricter than your warrant of fitness when it comes to things like ball joints though. Also wear out a lot quicker due to our climate and the state of our roads...

Excellent, thanks for the help skhell. Would have ordered from there but I need the parts pronto so I can get it back in for a partial retest. Used the part numbers and found UK based seller so should have it on Tue. Saved it into the bookmarks for future though! Car failed MOT on 10 points...

Failed MOT for excessive play in front N/S lower balljoint. Took the knuckle right off and the ball joint is mega loose. Thing is, I can't seem to find a replacement ball joint? Any suggestions? I did order a cheap and cheerful one from ECP but it turned out to be far too small...

Thanks guys. This is what I was expecting. Will need to get the rear wheels off to check what needs replacing there too. Last MOT advisories were slight play in rear O/S & N/S control arm. Just need to figure out what ones need done as there are a few :wacko:

Just looking for some thoughts on this. Is it a PITA to change bushes alone or would it be recommended just to replace complete suspension arms?

This is what's in the cd:

That's the sub back in. Only problem is I've misplaced the stereo pre-out cable so will need to wait til the new one comes :( Cables are just sitting nicely behind the HU waiting to be connected when it comes. When running the power to the battery, I noticed the earth cables had seen better...

One of the first things I did when I got my accord. Nice tutorial! One thing I've also noticed is the keyfob upgrade...

From the thread I posted above you might be looking for pins 1 and 3:

Ordered a 5-pin to OBD-II connector yesterday to try with my USB ELM-327. Hopefully the post from China is prompt as I'm anxious to try this out!

It's coming from Shen Zhen, China so it will no doubt take some time to arrive. eBay item 110888553362

Just took a punt on a 5-pin to odb-ii converter on ebay. Works out at around £3.50
