    Can an saloon ABS Unit be re-programmed for a tourer?

    An ongoing issue of air in my front offside brakeline resulted in the eventual issue found as one of the valves in the ABS unit letting in air. A few days later the brakes started to bind to the point the brakes were locked on. The ABS unit was pressurising the brakes but not releasing it. I...

    The seals for the calipers are square cut and not tapered as earlier hondas, so can go either way round.

    Air continuously getting in brake line

    Tried that but not a drop from anywhere. Using a pressure bleed kit and nothing either. I even left the bleed kit on for a few hours and no drop in pressure. Nothings getting out but somehow air is getting in from somewhere and it is only on the one line, the other three are fine.

    Air continuously getting in brake line

The new chain resulted in a youthed...

    Bore of standard type S exhaust?

    I have had 'Powerflow' stainless steel exhausts fitted to my Hondas (Accord Aerodeck, Mk 2 Prelude, 2004 Civic type S and 2003 2.4 Exec Tourer) for a number of years now as they come in cheaper than the OEM standard exhaust and last the life of the car. I used a local dealer where they use...
