    Where to sell a 2003 Honda Accord?

    All sold... £1100 from a gentleman of a buyer who travelled a hundred miles and found the car through Gumtree! I think it has something to do with how dark it is in the back (with the factory tint) and how little view out they have. They're not affected in any other car they've been in (Skoda...

    Where to sell a 2003 Honda Accord?

    I joined this forum when I got my 2003 Honda Accord tourer 4.5 years ago.... posted for a bit as I sorted a few issues and then nothing else has ever gone wrong....! However, the time has come to part with it (the kids get car sick in the back now) so I'm looking to find her a new home. I came...

    How to remove the front ARB drop links without destroying them?

    Just an update for anyone attempting this... 1) Getting the ball joint apart - hit the lower control arm / wishbone really really hard with a big hammer. As told by my mechanic mate. Job done. 2) You can do this job without removing the lower control arm after all! See the video above -...

    Have you got tinted windows?

    Mine has the privacy kit and tinted windows. It was done by the previous owner, so no guide on price I'm afraid. It's pretty dark in the back with both in place, and in low-light conditions you cannot see much through the rear-view mirror.

    How to remove the front ARB drop links without destroying them?

    Thanks guys. Allen key route was a pretty easy success, undoing the top one where it meets the ARB rather than the lower one. However, splitting the ball joint to get the arm off was a total failure. Had a shot at removing the bushing in situ, but I'm going to need a press to do that given...

    How to remove the front ARB drop links without destroying them?

    Lovely. That's the information I was looking for. I figured there must be a way of getting them off intact somehow. Thanks for that. Hopefully mine has that allen key hole and then I'll commence with the pain of getting them off. Going to go and spray them both down with WD40 again now in...

    How to remove the front ARB drop links without destroying them?

    I could use a little help here. I'm in the middle of replacing my compliance bushings, but in order to remove the lower wishbone I need to undo the ARB drop link. Now I've done a bunch of searches, and all I can find is people replacing broken drop links, not removing and replacing perfectly...

    Sat Nav DVD player removal and lens cleaning Pt1.

    See the 10mm bolts, on the right and left? Undo them (using a socket and extension). They hold the DVD player in place. Two more 10mm bolts. Undo these too. Now the DVD unit and mounting points will simply slide out. BE CAREFUL HERE - the mounting points can scratch the facias. Ask me...

    Sat Nav DVD player removal and lens cleaning Pt1.

    I did a search and there seemed to be a bunch of people asking how to do this, and no photos of how to do it available... so here goes. How to remove the Sat Nav DVD player, and clean the lens. This is for a 2003 Honda Accord Touring Executive, although I believe it applies to all early Gen...
