Bigg Red have dropped the price of a pair of callipers to £99 (after a £36 rebate on returning the old ones) plus shipping....

Thanks guys, was toying with a non-main dealer clutch change but having second thoughts now!

So how do you tell if when you replace the clutch that the DMF needs replacing? JCB Honda Ashford Rock, they were great when they did my timing chain under warranty... Steve

Yes it works fine. I've done this on my 7th gen accord, I din't miss them at all and they don't freeze in the out position (even with -60 halfords neat screenwash!) Steve

Have you noticed its only the 2003-2006 ones that are now £850? All the others are around the £600 mark Steve

one word, tyres, my continentals were quiet, my P7's wore loud as hell, my current Uniroyal rain sports are much quieter

Same here, did the adjuster on the drum and diddn't need to do the one under the centre console, back the wheel off so they dont scrape when the handbrake is off....all through the little adjuster window!

Well done on the write up, i didn't take pics so glad you did! I was in the same position as you weekend befire last disc/hub justcwouldn't come off two hours on one side and 30 on the other!!! Steve

Dan, if you managed the disc/hub swop refurbing the calliper would be a breeze. BigRed do pistons and a seal kit for a rezsonable price or complete refurbished callipers for £180 pair Steve

Commented on by the OP, all mine were correctly torqued inc the hub nuts.... Steve

Take off the plastic clip on the wiper arm (drivers side, small Phillips screw) and buy a set from Honda at £25 (Honda Happiness Fixed Price) for a 2006 (facelift model) they are the flat aero ones and are a 200% improvement. I have them on my 2005 tourer and won't be going back to the old type...

Typical timing, did mine last week!, however I also did the OSR flexible hose and stripped the calliper and fitted replacement seals. Its not at all difficult and the worst bit was getting the disc/hub off the parking brake shoes (beware of the small hold down pins for each shoe, if they detach...

I has this recently, had it re-gassed but still the same. turned out to be leaking from the pipe entry and exit pipes on the air-con pump. Seals were £3.65 each plus an hours labour (JCB Honda Ashford) this included a free re-gas. On the first re-gas they added some UV dye so were able to see...
