Hi, First time logging back on in a while. Car has been sitting there while the Ebay advert has been running so haven't done anything. Still haven't got a manual. So no change in situation at present.

Picked up Febi chains x2 today for £78.34. Hopefully can get a copy of manual.

Thats what I am not looking forward to. Can anyone send me a copy of the manual?

Well I stuck it on the dreaded Ebay for spares or repair to see if it had any bites. It didn't, which is what I expected. I have a feeling I may end up doing it. Though still sitting on the fence a little bit and reading this thread. Interesting to see how someone else is doing with it. Have...

Jon_G is right, I am in a different position. Mine has kicked up the oil pressure light. I sadly dont have the facilities or space, my 1967 GP is taking up space in the garage and cant be easily moved out of the way. So at thge moment its sitting on the road. My red paintwork has faded quite...

Think I found the workshop manual, seems a bit steep for a CD which is probably copied :/ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Accord-Tourer-03-08ym-Interactive-Workshop-Manual-DVD-Petrol-Diesel-/221293888126?pt=UK_CarParts_Vehicles_Manuals_Litterature_ET&hash=item338624c27e

Thanks for the link guys. Not great reading on that thread, all doom & gloom. So its a bit a gamble for me as the light did come on, as its hard to guess 'if' any damage was done after it broke. I feel quite confident it was only limped down one road luckily but how much does it need for damage...

Great advice cheers. I am still sitting on the fence as to whether this is going to be a cost effective repair or whether I am best selling the car as spares or repair. Book value of the car versus the repair costs. From what you have said its probably not a job for the weekend warrior. I have...

It wasn't driven far after fault occurred. Hopefully no damage done, but like you said can't be sure. I cannot find the other thread sadly. Would be interested to read it. Are you doing a how to thread as you go with the Cam Chain replacement? It does sound like a horrific job? Guessing its...

Yes, Pretty sure that is the case. I think you have confirmed my thoughts. It just about limped home, as was almost there. I am 99% sure that I have lost the oil pump drive. Only explanation I can logically come to. Explains the noises and pressure light. I've gone out and read the codes and...

Coming back from a drive today I experienced the oil light coming on. Checking oil levels and they were fine. There has been a noise coming from the auxiliary belt area for a while now, but I ***umed it was because of the old tensioner. They have revised the tensioner route recently and...

Well there seem to be a hell of a lot of problems ***ociated with Brakes, I have not seen any threads that say it is an old wives tale. Believe me I've looked. I'd like to see the posts you are referring to, as the majority on here seem to say it is a known problem. From what I have...

"Tony, it could be a perished rear brake hose - close to the caliper. It's a recognised issue by Honda that affects the tourer models (probably a good reason why this sort of issue should be going to the main dealer)."...

Well, there may not be any evidence, but there seem to be a hell of a lot of people pointing fingers at hoses! Cant remember the specific username of the guy who had countless problems and kept having problems until he replaced hoses. Just do a search on this forum and tons of results come up...
