    Air Con Receiver Drier location?

    Hi Thanks for your reply. I have purchased a new one so I guessed that may be the location judging by its shape however, after struggling to get at it, i'm not sure that that is the location? My new drier unit has inlet and outlet connections fitted to it and when I look at the cylinder shaped...

    Air Con Receiver Drier location?

    Hi It has been a while since I have been here but I have had some health issues which means I can no longer drive although I'm still fighting the DVLA to get my license back.

    Water in rear pass. footwell

    Sorry to resurrect this thread but have been watching it for years having the same issue with a 2008 (2007) Accord Tourer. Apologies too for not being around much in the last few years but have had health issues which meant I lost my licence. Still have the car though which is mostly pink...

    parrot mki9000 install

    I have just fitted the Parrot MKi 9200 into my 2007 Accord. It has the Premium Sound System with Sat Nav. I also followed Padraig's excellent write up and all works ok bar two issues: First: I get no sound from the speakers via a bluetooth connection even though the connection is good. and...

    SOT-047 Cable not supplying power

    Did a pictorial ever get done? Really struggling to get this done myself. Could do with a proper wiring diagram to follow as the Autoleads instructions are just dire!!

    No Throttle?

    Travelling back home around midnight last night, doing 30mpg and the engine light came on and I quickly realised that I had lost all throttle control, no matter how much I pressed on the accelerator, nothing happened. I dumped the car where it was and walked the final two miles home as I...

    Honda ball joint snapped! !

    Ball joint snapped in half for me too on Boxing Day night just 100 yards from home. Wheel was dragged back into the wing ripping the driveshaft out. However, due to living in a small cul-de-sac and the drive being down another cul-de-sac, there was no way we could get the car back onto the...

    weird clutch pedal

    Had this very recently and possibly still do to some extent! Slave cylinder simple to fit, master cylinder not so due to having to be a contortionist. Bleeding is a nightmare and I probably flushed a gallon of fluid through. I found tilting the car over one way helped a lot. Check the pedal...

    Facelift front fog bulb replacement

    The easiest way is to remove the front bumper complete. Looks daunting but it isn't and you can then see what you are doing without breaking any plastic bits during the cold spell. I actually do this to change the headlight bulbs when one of mine had blown and I struggled to fit new ones. (big...

    H1 led headlights

    So four years on and LED technology has moved on greatly. Has anyone tried the newer LED bulbs in their Accords, I don't mean the cheaper ebay tat but the more expensive fan cooled bulbs?? These should work ok with the projector style lamps. May dazzle with the high beam.
