    Strange "sticky" feeling Power steering

    it may well be the needle bearings sticking in your steering shaft u-joints if you've ever used a square drive with a flex/u-joint adapter and you run it at the "wrong" angle, it will bind but still turn, but you have to adjust the ratchet angle to compensate. same principle with the u-joints in...

    it's a feature, not a bug :) thanks to the alpine amp in the pss all of us with the factory premium sound system experience a bass cutoff at the(iirc) 14 mark on volume knob I remedied the problem slightly by changing my fronts for some jl audio 2way coax speakers, but there's always room for...

    HELP - Brake Master Cylinder spares NOT available

    the strangest thing about this is the fact that for some reason it's not just another honda parts bin master cylinder, even on models with the same weight, caliper bores and master cylinder bores like odyssey/legend/ascot/inspire/rl, the accord master cylinder is completely unique. normally the...

    Does Littlebo reflash affect reliability over time?

    only hearsay about the map running afrs too lean in little pockets around the web, but all the datalogs that supposedly proved this have mysteriously disappeared over the last 2-3 months, and the buzz around it has died down. it could be a problem with the testing/logging methodology, or it...

    Immobiliser indicator (green key) flashing on dash, preventing car starting

    that's a decent find, you should only need the outlined part(the bit with the green connectors) - 39730S2AG01, but the price for a brand new one is a bit steep. it only reads the code in your key's transponder to match it with what is already stored, so no coding necessary, but you may have to...

    Immobiliser indicator (green key) flashing on dash, preventing car starting

    sounds like the immobilizer receiver has left the building. at the very least, it's the easiest gremlin to chase right now the car will not forget its configuration, the transponder id is unique to your key and the "pairing" is stored in your car's ecm

    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    I don't remember if they're supposed to point up or down, but cut the pointy side off with small side cutters and replace with zip ties, the oe grilles slot nicely into the bumper so if you're thorough, alignment of the new piece won't be a problem even with ties trust me, I've had mine off...

    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    can recommend both mv tuning and rising, I had a type s facelift replica grill from mv for my wagon and we've just bought a spoiler from rising tuning for the sedan, I have no doubt their grills would be excellent as well

    Stalling - 2008 mk7 2.2 cdti

    you're on the right track with the pressure warning - don't be too concerned with it, I've had learner drivers in both my wagon and my gf's sedan and they both throw a low oil pressure warning on a stall on some toyotas, a crank pos error will trigger if the car fails to start after several...

    Auto levelling HID's

    if the replacement rod part is costly, you can fabricate your own using hardware store rod end/angled ball joints and threaded rods to match stock length. it will likely outlast stock if you're willing to smear some grease on it from time to time "smarter" cars with faulty tow mode sensing/rear...
