    I run Firefox with the Ublock Origin extension on Linux, Windows and Android, and Brave browser on the iPad. Never seen an ad on TA. Any other combinations others are using?

    Resetting electric windows

    It's been about a month but I don't think I saw this post. I take it you have it solved by now, but for anyone else that is here for a similar problem here is a link to the reset procedure. https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/passenger-power-window-mirror-not-working.22303/post-269366

    Air continuously getting in brake line

    It could be that fully extended under pressure the system seals OK, but in a retracted state the seal is sitting on a corroded / pitted area of the piston and letting in some air. The way to test that would be to remove the dust seal and and insert a spacer to limit piston travel. Then...

    HELP! Detective work ahead, almost everything is reversed! Diesel Tourer

    Probably has been discussed on TA, but the search field won't accept ECU as a search term! Anyway, YouTube came through with the location.

    Passenger Power Window & Mirror not working.

    Be careful with this line of reasoning. The reason the master control is on the "passenger" side in the UK cars could be because that is the drivers side for 95% of Hondas world wide, and therefore the "base" model. For the UK/Japan/AU/SA models they just added a remote circuit for the "master"...

    Heavy black smoke - overfueling?

    Honda ***igns different part numbers to identical parts when they go into a different model. You can usually find out cross-compatibility by looking at compatibility specs via 3rd party vendors. Think about it from the designer's perspective - every time they insist on a custom part the cost...

    HELP! Detective work ahead, almost everything is reversed! Diesel Tourer

    What an absolute mindf*ck. Channel Hopper's explanation might well be right. BTA can you test this: when you engage Cruise Control and increase the speed by 10 increments, does your speed go up 10Kmh or 16Kmh? The base file used for an ECU reflash is a copy of your ECU software. Someone with...

    Scrapping my gen 7 accord tourer

    Sorry to hear you are having such a ****ty experience with it. No shame in pulling the plug when you are just not set up to take it further.

    Help! Can't Open Up my Service Manual

    BTW MS only removed the ability to open IE directly. You can restore that function so you don't have to go through Edge. But whatever works, works. Instructions here.

    Accord VIII Service Manual / Workshop Manual / ESM on Windows 11

    New user BTA alerted me to the following workaround to get IE working again on W10 & W11. This procedure adds a desktop (or other) link for IE just like it used to be. Another alternative is to find an old XP / 7/ 8/ etc. laptop to run the manual(s), and run it offline only. Or use a VM...

    F18B Intruiging saga - Garage exhaust replacement lead to P0141 on drive back now non-starter!

    When you say it does not start, does the dash light up etc. but the starter refuses to turn over? To rule out anything basic, check and re-seat all related fuses, relays and fusible links. Next suspect would be earth points to the engine block. Does anything improve if you put a jumper lead...

    Window not clearing when rolling the window down and back up

    I usually use the air conditioning to clear windows. But the moldings in my 06 Accord don't squeegee the windows. My 90's accord didn't either. When the air conditioning in that car broke, I carried a microfiber cloth in the door basket to wipe the windows.
