Hi, Thanks for the reply. Alternator packed in on me Saturday morning. Kwik Fit quoted £505 fitted but not until Monday or Tuesday. Honda dealer quoted me £897 part only then fitting on top, not until end of week. I could only find the part on EBay for myself to fit. In the end I managed to...

Hi all, I have a 2013 2.2 i-Dtec, can anyone tell me what I should expect to pay for a new alternator fitted? Is this a possible DIY joy? Thanks

Thanks Blippi, I don’t suppose you did a write up of the steps taken? Also where did you buy the round lense? Thanks

Hi csak1981, yes mine is an auto. Not sure about the manual version.

Nothing came out whilst changing the driveshafts. And I’m a bit OCD with checking the ATF level regularly, and do a drain/fill every 15k (yearly) to keep the fluid fresh. So I’m not sure really what was causing it.

@Blippi did you manage to find out whether the face-lift lights fit the pre face lift? I have headlights without the orange reflector, but not with the DRL’s.

Well not sure what has happened, but I took the car for a drive yesterday after replacing driveshafts on both sides, and the noise seems to have disappeared?! Also the shaking/juddering has now been completely eliminated thankfully

I managed to do it in the end, just needs a good whack with a hammer and chisel to get it free. Passenger side was much easier using a crowbar leveraging between the axle and gearbox. No fluid was lost on either side. Hope that helps.

Hi all, I replaced the passenger side without any issues. However on the drivers side I can’t seem to remove the old driveshaft. Where it connects to the intermediate shaft, it just won’t budge. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks F6HAD, the belt was changed last year so should be good. I’ll take a look at the pulley over the weekend

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes unfortunately still doing it. It only started yesterday, when the Mrs drove it home from work. The car drives fine and pulls as usual. The noise seems to only be there between 1k-2k revs whilst driving slowish or stationary. Unless I just can’t hear it when driving...

Noise from inside cabin

Hi all, Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have noticed a ‘whining’ noise when at low revs, 1000-2000 whether moving or stationary. Any ideas what it is? Thanks. Accord Whining noise

Hi, I have seen a few different headlight units on AliExpress that show 8th gen accord with full LED plus DLR’s. Has anyone tried these?

You can but the fascia that supports a double din unit, rather than cutting the existing one.
