On a previous car I had the same issue. I installed new speakers in the doors but cutting the blanking panel and installing the speakers. Wiring wise ran new wires to rear shelf speaks from what I recall. It was a while back though

Will try that, thanks for the advice

Hi Wondering if we had any plumbers on here who could help advise me on an issue I’m having. Seem to be suffering from what is known as ‘water hammering’ when closing taps upstairs in the house. Never had this before and recently started. Any ideas on fix/investigation?

Very nice

My second question is did you get warranty with the car when you bought it? If you did you could maybe claim off that

You really need to take it to a transmission specialist who can look at it. We’ve not had any auto problems on here for the Accord. You’ve done the obvious by changing the fluids etc.

Sounds ok to me, how often do you change the oil?

I suspect you may need to have other parts of the exhaust relaxed as it won’t be just a bolt back in job. If they have cut it off then there will be no flanges for the car to bolt back to. However an exhaust specialist can advise and maybe even get round this

I ran a VW Passat which had a crunch when coming from 4th to 3rd so decided to go 4th to 2nd instead. Ran that for 2+ years like that

Does sound like you have bought a bad one. These cars are awesome if looked after and by far this is one of the best diesels of its time. Maybe get some diagnostics done it to determine if it has a problem.

Could be a faulty switch. Try unplugging the switch for a few days and see what it does

There is a illumination knob adjustment which turns up and down the clocks lights. That has a setting to dim down when you turn lights on. When you turn it you can feel it lock a little

From the symptoms sounds like a synchro issue with 5th gear. Either way will need to strip gearbox to find out which can be costly. Maybe a second hand box will be better. Labour wise it will take a good few hours to do, maybe all day.

Thanks Pal

Hello Does anyone know the part number for a rear right (drivers side) abs sensor which will fit a 54reg Accord 2.0 I-vtec? Thanks
