    Water Ingress

    First thing you need to do is strip the boot interior out so you can see the panels, then an old trick is to use talcum powder liberally on the panels and it will show you what path the water is cutting.

    Sold My Accord so goodbye from me

    1.6, 25 years old, has a hard top aswell and bodywork seems in very good condition. Only had it a short while so not got grips with whats been done to it over the years, the paper history that came with it is pretty non existent. Definitely been lowered/hardened but the back feels a little...

    Sold My Accord so goodbye from me

    I've changed the Accord for a very bland VW Passat Estate and a 1990 Eunos. Quite chuffed as the Eunos is £89 a year to insure fully comp and makes up for the boringness of the VW.

    Bluetooth install question.

    I installed my Nokia CK7-w into my accord but it was stand alone with a speaker. No other looms required.

    Drivers side heater blowing colder than Passenger side

    It will be one of the blending flaps no doubt. There is a self test that will give you a code, google is your friend.

    Potential 2.0 i-VTEC Owner

    The i in the i-VTEC gives away the answer to your question. It stands for imaginary. You imagine you've got VTEC and notice a little change in exhaust note.

    Sold My Accord so goodbye from me

    Had the Accord years and years but sold it yesterday as it had an unknown running fault. Was a good car over the years, let down by its spec. Thanks for the help from forum members since joining. Some Accord stuff for sale in the for sale section.

    Tyre questions

    LOL

    Rear off-side suspension sag?

    That's what I mean though. A damper, working with a spring keeps the tyre on the road to soak up the bumps. If you've got a knackered shock so that the car is just resting on the spring and the damper not damping then it won't soak anything up, just bounce on top of it.

    Rear off-side suspension sag?

    Get someone to drive down the road next to you and see if the wheel is bouncing off the tarmac?

    Rear off-side suspension sag?

    A shock wouldn't seize (although I had a car where the rear shock froze in winter) it might leak. You can see a knackered shock on some cars as they are driving down the road and the wheel is 'bouncing' on the spring.
