Thanks guys! Knuckle scraping time!

Hi All - not been on here for a bit as my beloved now drives the Accord, but she complained of no power, so I went out for a spin and got the glow plug light flashing and limited revs over 2-2.5k. I left it for 10 mins and went again - but primed the fuel bulb (didn't seem overly soft) and...

My 2.2 diesel saloon ( now the wife's) on 2004/54 plate has now done over 230k , just done a service on it and touch wood, will keep until she dies (car not wife!!)

Hi all!! Going to change my oil and filter and just wondered what's the best way to remove the filter housing cap?? Do you think a rubber strapped plumbers type wrench would be sufficient or do I need to buy a specific tool?? Thanks guys! Carl

BUMP - Anyone worked out how to disable the alarm yet - I have this issue now also! ( 54 2.2 diesel exec saloon)

Model/Spec: Honda Accord 2.2 CDTI EXEC< Year: 2004 Mileage: 227k How long owned: 5 years (90k when bought) Problems you've had: Nothing major - servicing/tyres etc etc) - changed alternator myself a few years ago (and also fuel filter) MOT tomorrow - so the future of the car could be determined...

Apologies for the late reply Dan - I basically gave up with Winter and all that! When spring arrives (soon hopefully!) I'll have another crack!

Had a spare morning - so started this job - what a nightmare - Got rear callipers off but couldn't get the caliper bracket off whatsoever!! An

I remember doing mine - the bottom bolt was the pain!! Once you know where it is though it's fine, a few scraped knuckles didn't deter me!

Hi Chaps! All set to attempt this myself (front and rear pads and discs). Just a quick question regarding the impact driver/carrier screws.....................do they serve a purpose? Can I reinstall without these if I knacker up the screws upon removal (as I don't have an impact driver). As...

Cheers Guys!

Hi All, I have 2.2 diesel exec (54 plate), and am looking to change all brake discs, I have measured my existing ones and just wanted to check what the "stock" sizes are/should be for the car. (I haven't taken the wheels off - hence why I want to check before ordering anything!) I get the...

Cheers Dan - I now have my weekend planned!

No fans whatsover - even if I leave the car running idle for a while. I have shorted pins 1 and 2 on the connector (3 pin) as per my earlier pic. It's a saloon, by the way!

They spin by hand ok Dan , and when I short 1 and 2 in the connector they come on for a second then go off with a bit of a humming noise? I have swapped around several of the denso relays and nothing has changed (so I'm ***uming the relays are OK). Any other ideas pal?

hi all! Still no joy with this! Checked all lower wiring etc and still no joy?? If I took to honda would they charge to put a code reader on ?? and would this tell me what the issue is?? (Fans still not coming on - I shorted a few of the wires in the 3 pin plug, and they came on for a bout a...

Hi Dave - yeah that was my next port of call (the multimeter!!), ill try and get it done during the week if not then deffo the weekend. Here's hoping for cool days (so i don't need the aircon!) I'll document what happens and hopefully you and others can shed some light! Cheers again. Carl

Thanks for the reply Dave - I take it without the fans the high pressure would just keep rising? and something would go pop!?? Looks like I need to do a full check of the fan cables etc - oh what fun I'm having with the car at the moment!!!

This is doing my nut in now! Checked all connections - all are ok - I've cleaned them all and all seems well, but still no AC. Can someone clarify - for me to power the compressor directly - all I need to do is run a wire from (red) + battery direct to compressor???? Cheers Carl

Cheers Dave- I'll have a look!
