What's the estimated labour hours for a change of PAS fluid ? Might get Honda to do this at my next service.

Yes, let's hope so. I'm going to get the car serviced in next few weeks anyway.......it will be due by then. I've also made a note to check my oil levels more regularly. I now know that at the mileage level I have, this isn't something I can neglect if I want the car to last !!

Okay...........Got the car back today; and they've done nothing with it !! As the rattling noise has proved to be intermittent, they don't believe there is any immediate problem or fault that is worth investigating further or or changing a part for on a speculative basis (at additional time and...

Hmmm.......this does sound a bit like my noise..........but I wonder if the dealers are aware of these nifty little fixes. Somehow I think not !

Hi all, a quick update, well sort of. My car has been with Lookers Honda all day. The noise wasn't there this morning (typical!). But the garage tell me they did briefly manage to replicate (my description of) the noise; so hopefully they are aware of it now. They have had the drive belt off to...

Okay thanks all. This is all getting very technical for me now, but at least I can spout some useful terminology to the Honda dealer when he tells me what's wrong on Thursday.............I'm getting a little nervous about it all !

Hi - no I'm not sure if it is the chain. Thanks for the suggestion of running the engine with the drive belt removed...........so to be clear, if the drive belt is removed, and I still hear the noise - what does that point to - chain or something else ??

Hi Salim. Thanks for that. What was it specifically from what I have said that leads you to that suggestion ? I've got the car booked in for Thursday.

Hi. Anyone got any thoughts ?- Or is everyone bored of hearing about timing chains failing on 2005 diesels !! :(

Oh dear.........Well, my 2005 Accord Saloon (130k miles) has started to develop this rattling sound over the past 2 weeks. Having never read about this problem previously, when I first heard it, I thought it was coming from the offside front wheel, and something was catching in that area; I...

Hi all. Can someone please recommend me a good window tinting company in the London or Kent area. Please base your posts on actual recommendations and experiences on your own vehicles or vehicles you know of, and not just your mates who are installers, or cars you have seen as a one off. I...

Don't worry - found this !! http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/12068-diy-7th-gen-dipped-beam-headlight-bulb-change/page__p__134646__hl__headlight__fromsearch__1#entry134646 Thanks. : :)

Hi guys sorry to hijack this thread, but the question is related. Bit of a schoolboy question - but how do you remove the wire clip that holds the H1 bulb in place ? Is it a question of pinching the two wires, or is the clip on a hinge - and if so is the hinged side top or bottom ??? Any piccie...

Thanks Fahad. Just sent them an email asking about the code.

Hi all. I've read all the very helpful posts in DIY sub forum on how to go about fitting an aux connector, which is great. What I don't know is where I should purchase this wonderful gadget from. Can anyone direct me to the best place. I prefer a mail order site. I'm not bothered about ipod...
