    Fuse location for boot light?

    According to the WSM, 2006 CL9 Trunk light fuse location is No. 6 under dash (7.5A) which is a sub to No. 15 under hood (40A). Fuse 6 controls all the interior lighting, which you already confirmed is working. The main suspect here, apart from the bulb or bulb holder, is the trunk latch...

    Washers and wiper issues

    Lots of them on AliExpress https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-non%2525252dreturn-valve-windscreen.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.search. Also known as "check valve", which might be more common in US English.

    When was the last time the fuel filter was changed?

    I’m at a loss now, how the hell do I change the time on my clock?

    Make sure the read error is not something easy like dust on the DVD reader lens. The disc is dual layer so more sensitive to having a bit of fluff in the way. The next solution people here have posted is to buy a DVD reader from a (UK) breaker's yard.

    Steering Rack bush replacement.

    I have this knock as well. I thought it was the DMF, because I cannot find anything that has play on the outside.

    Head Gasket Selection

    There is actually very little room left in a cylinder at TDC. The piston gets about flush with the top of the block, and the combustion chamber is just the space inside the head and whatever shape the top of the piston is. When I did it I couldn't turn the motor anywhere near TDC as there...

    Head Gasket Selection

    This is good work! I like how you can do all the valves in that cylinder from one bolt down position. How did you get the retainer clips on and off? Is there an access hole out of view?

    How do I disconnect the handbrake cable from rear caliper?

    This is from the ESM. It had 2 models rear brakes, KQ and non KQ. I do not know which one you have so both included. I can't attach the file to this post(too large it says) so I'll have to put it online somewhere.. The PDF's merged a bit out of sequence but each page is its own procedure...

    Reskins available for Gen 7 headlights.

    Once I have the lights open, it is of course the ideal time to add some angel eyes to the lights. How do people feel about these things? Has anyone here customised headlights?. I think they look OK, but if one of the LED's fails, you have to pull the lights apart again to fix it. My plan...

    Head Gasket Selection

    Unless something has changed in engine building, thicker headgaskets are usually used in engines that have been rebuilt and have had the head surface machined / skimmed. This is to retain stock compression. Compression would rise otherwise.

    Head Gasket Selection

    If you have any questions, if something is not clear, I will try clarify. But yes, it it totally possible to do this without removing the head. To stop the valves from dropping down when you remove the spring and retainers, you need to rotate the cylinder to low, insert a length of clean rope...

    How do I disconnect the handbrake cable from rear caliper?

    Did you get this sorted? I can check the manual in about 8 hours. My guess is that the procedure would be the same for the same generation Civic and any others that don't have the drum/disk setup.

    Head Gasket Selection

    Are you sure it is the guides and not just the valve stem seals? If not, it might be a hell of a lot cheaper to do that first and potentially save you from removing the head. We had a conversation about changing the seals, without removing the head, in June last year. That was a Dtec, but...

    Reskins available for Gen 7 headlights.

    Finally, a bit late in the game, but someone in China is finally producing replacement headlight skins for the EU/AU/JP/TSX body Gen7 Accord. Best price I found was on Aliexpress, starting in the 50-ish range of Pounds and Euro. (Link here) If see them cheaper, they're probably making up the...

    Common Faults? Try these first.

    Maintenance schedules on EV's are very, very simple. The only problem we have with ours starts with "e" and rhymes with "elephant-tusk".

    2.2 Diesel CU3 timing chain

    If the car has done 200 I'd do the lot, because that will cover you for pretty much the rest of the car's life, and the job is a PITA to do twice. Most of us haven't had the cars from new and do not know the history of the car. If one of the previous owners drove aggressively they might have...

    2.2 Diesel CU3 timing chain

    Someone else on this forum replaced the chain on his iDTEC CRV but didn't post a report or photos. He had the engine out for another problem and thought "may as well.."

    Or you can go the other way and upgrade to an EV.

    Shock Absorber (front) with bracket for levelling sensor HID/Xenon headlights

    All you need is for that hole to float in the right position. Surely it cannot be that difficult to manufacture a bracket held in place with a couple of good quality hose clamps? Also, people don't usually do this, but shock absorbers can be reconditioned. A lot of places that advertise...

    Pick the mistake

    That is pretty spot on. The extra crease in the top of the front fender, the side mirror, and the way the rear light wraps into the rear quarter are pretty much Subaru. The only Honda bit is the front. So the sum average zeigeist hot stationwagon is the Legacy? Subaru picked the right name in...
