    Reversing camera failure

    Navi is fine, quickly ran through the colour calibration screens, nothing is out of the ordinary. Just the backup camera signal. Guess I'll be looking at another one from breakers...

    Reversing camera failure

    Out of the blue this happened... anybody got any clue whether the camera itself decided to give up on life, wiring loom issue or something else? Diagnostics menu in the satnav states the connection is OK.

    [Guide] How to replace the factory sat nav with an aftermarket head unit

    I must be the only person who actually likes the stock infotainment system lol. My only gripe with it is the stock head unit turning down bass at high volume which is pretty damn annoying if you listen to rock or metal but that can be fixed relatively easily with a custom EQ preset on your...

    8th Gen used - what to look out for

    The "mist" might be oil leaking onto exhaust manifold and burning off. Happened to me a couple of times after taking the cover off and forgetting to wipe any spillages. It's not a hard fix but make sure it's sorted out since it's a potential fire hazard.

    8th Gen used - what to look out for

    My 8th does the same even after full laser alignment, might be subframe shift but I haven't dug deeper. Rocker cover gaskets like to leak regardless of engine especially at this age so imo nothing to worry about. Not sure about 2.0s but the 6mt has an issue with inner CV joints wearing out...

    Wheels for Cl9 TypeS

    Take a tape measure and check how much room you have between the tire and bodywork at the top of the arch and that will give you an idea of what offset will fit.

    Buying: What to look for?

    ES GT cluster from the 2.0 would be the closest with red backlight, only difference is 6800rpm redline. As far as I'm aware 2009 MY was the most problematic with most of the issues being sorted out later on so it's definitely something to keep in mind.

    Buying: What to look for?

    Timing chain is doable without pulling the engine and requires basic tools only, I did mine over the weekend on a driveway. Was a ***** of a job though, some of the bolts will have you inventing new swear words especially if it's cold and you have large hands. Get your wife (or your friend's...

    What brake system have i got?

    Take the wheel off and look at what's on the caliper... From what I can see online looking at part numbers these seem to be made by ATE, single piston front caliper.

    Steering Wheel Judder

    If it's coming from the floor then it's most likely the driveshaft. Check if it stops when coasting.

    Steering Wheel Judder

    You don't feel bad driveshafts through the steering wheel at all. The whole car is shaking from the floor instead. If it does it under acceleration but not when coasting and shakes the whole car in a certain window (usually around 30-40mph or 70-80mph) then the inner CV joint is busted. At least...

    Driver's window not going to the top

    If that's happening when using the "auto" function you can try a reset of the master switch. https://www.hocivic.com/resetting_the_power_window_control_unit-697.html

    2015 Accord iDTEC Radiator replacement

    Best you could do is shoot an email directly to Cox and see what they say about it. Their customer support has always been extremely helpful for me. Another thing I spotted is that the overflow tank for sedan (CU chassis) has only one connection just like yours however another one pulled from a...

    2015 Accord iDTEC Radiator replacement

    Just had another look, seems like that hose should be plugged into the overflow tank rather than the radiator. Might be some shoddy repair job going on here.
