I can return it less courier costs after I explained what had happened so unless less someone wants it i'll do that. will stick it in the for sale initially to see

Bye Bye Accord - insurance declared as a total loss. Anyone want to buy a manifold kit ??

Slight issue on the fitting as the car has been front ended so waiting on body shop to confirm the costs to see if insurance will fix - looks like a bonnet, bumper and radiator as a min. not sure how Honda high Honda parts prices are....

Fitting will be someone elses problem for me. but will mention the heat shield modding required. thanks

Kit arrived today looks like the gaskets, etc are Honda items. Now to get it fitted !!

should find out Friday as i've one on order :)

just seen this kit on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CIVIC-UFO-ACCORD-CR-F-FR-V-2-2i-CTDI-2002-2011-NEW-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-/200975735049?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2ecb165909 not sure whether its a good job or not?

Cracked manifold on Mrs M's Honda - 85k miles but unfortunately over 7 years old. Note serviced by Honda so no offer from them. How much to weld?

Got the dreaded cracked manifold here too but its older than 7 years but only 85k miles - not serviced by Honda so they won't do anything. Got dealer to ask and then I also tried with customer service but the answer was still no. How much to weld?

Interesting thread indeed.. I've never had experience of coilovers but I do have a set of H&R springs with Koni Sports on my 10 year old Toledo - The Mr's i-CTDI Sport is still standard. The Toledo is fine for the driver but it can be a bit bumpy for passengers - Mrs like driving it but hates...

Interesting about the Dipetane as I pick up a bottle at one of the M1 service stations on the way back from Dublin recently and based on the trip computer is has improved the Mrs's economy. not very scientific but looks to make some difference

Looking nice. could do with you in Ballymena to clean up the Mrs's Accord :)

hope this isn't what's wrong with Mrs M's

thanks will have to have a google for someone local (Ballymena)
