    Tourer Boot Locking

    What are the symptoms? After tearing mine apart and replacing the locking mechanism because it wouldn't fully auto close turned out the boot handle was getting stuck and just needed a clean.

    How to remove a bolt (which just spins) holding the rear bumper beam?

    So the internal captive nut has broken loose? Potential can of worms as you said, don't think I'd go any further until I had the replacement beam and then hack it off by whatever means.

    Passenger's Front side light removal - Best way to remove/replace?

    Take the battery out, it's fiddly but possible. I think the bulb is the push fit 501 W2W but double check.

    DPF light stayed on after forced regen

    Forced regens don't usually work and most dpf issues can be resolved unless it's damaged. There's a YouTuber mobile mechanic called O' Reily's that got me out of trouble with one of my vehicles, might be worth giving him a call or in my case watch a few videos, bought some product and...

    2.2CDTI stage 1 remap

    Sounds like an ideal candidate, search the forum and read up on the remap done by most mk7 owners here. It's tried, tested and recommended.

    Picked this up for £1100

    Good idea about those Philips' . Personally as I'm an old man and mines been lowered, I'm either getting blinded or the back of my head is getting irradiated by HIDs so not a great fan.

    Picked this up for £1100

    I don't know, might be better off going for a best quality halogen bulb. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/special-notice-01-21-headlamp-conversions

    Picked this up for £1100

    For a 16 yr old fairly large capacity engine that's great mileage because it is a great engine. Looks good in black and those Pentas make it a future classic imo, headlamps can be prone to fogging and if it has been mapped as you suspect then have fun.

    I don't get this...

    I found some early ULEZ compliant diesels going back to late 2011, nothing earlier. https://medium.com/@ulezcarcheck/some-of-the-most-early-examples-of-euro-6-diesel-cars-list-of-cheap-diesel-ulez-complaint-cars-b571b15053e6

    I don't get this...

    It's SORN and no MOT since last December despite the owner saying it's no longer needed because he's just bought a van. Clutch pedal to the floor and plenty else potentially wrong with it judging by it's MOT history. Owner wasn't that keen on me going over it and even getting it started...

    I don't get this...

    Seems very unlikely doesn't, the seller was convinced though but couldn't elaborate. I ended any interest.

    Tnks CH, where could I get that specific VIN info from a Volvo forum?

    I don't get this...

    Not Honda related but looking for a cheap estate to replace my beloved Accord when ULEZ is eventually extended and came across this. It's a diesel, Euro 4 yet according to the description and the TFL government website it is ULEZ compliant. How on earth is that possible when anything diesel...

    Alternator charges for 2 minutes, then stops, unless over 3k revs

    It's not normal no, get the alternator checked or replace as maybe the voltage regulator has gone. Do the belt while you're at it.

    Should my lower rear suspension arm look like this?

    Is mk7 same as mk8 Sayama? Looking at drwing below you could be right, insert on control arm looks to be long. http://honda.automotive-manuals.com/accord-2008-2012/manuals/000000000000049.HTML

    Should my lower rear suspension arm look like this?

    Sorry changed my mind as I was looking at it originally on a phone, looks like the rubber bushing has torn and if it has think about replacing it.

    Should my lower rear suspension arm look like this?

    It shouldn't really look like that but they can move, doesn't mean it's unsafe. Any suspension noises coming from that part of the car? If the rubber bushing is still tight and intact you won't get pulled on the MOT but get a lever and test the joint to see if there's any excess play or wear...

    Need a key

    Depends on cost, I don't care for my spare to be a trasnsponder key only but if I could get a full remote for less than £100 I'd probably go for that. What did that set you back in total?
