It sounds like the bluetooth module has gone faulty and wanting to connect to a phone all the time. The bluetooth modules in the 7th gen accords are junk, known issues for them to fail. Best bet is to disconnect them all together. They are located under the section where the centre vents are...

Ahh mate, just read the thread and amazing work. You covered all the main issues on the 7th gen Accord, I just replaced my top high pressure power steering hose on mine yesterday. It seems that is a very common issue, the anchor bracket causing stress over time on the hose. Then to go and read...

Thanks tony, does sound reassuring that he can last pretty long. Although i do cover 2000 miles a month so can cover that miles very quickly. Hence why it may be worth going genuine for longevity. I have ordered the aftermarket one so shall see what the quality is like to hand. Cheers for the...

Thanks Tony for the feedback with regards to the after market hose. How many miles have you been running with it? Its definitely weeping from the top hose when its anchored just behind the rocker cover. Hopefully the rack is ok, can't imagine the palava involved in changing one of them...

Thanks Rob, I think you convinced me to give it go. Will pop to halfords tomorrow after work and pick up some of the stuff. I bought the after market hose but easily returnable I guess. Shall see how it goes. All the best too.

Thanks Rob, haha, Snap! My cooler pipe also perished earlier in Jan and was rusted to death. I actually treated the car to a genuine part and thought that was the end of that. Apparently not - lol Cheers for the advise, Ive heard of the fix it tape - indeed very strong stuff but intended for...

haha, thats one of the reasons too that I haven't changed my clutch. Will just run it until the clutch becomes undriveable and call it a day with it. Still at 208k miles and original clutch though :) - I have a wager with my brother weather it can make it to 238k on the original clutch...

Amazing work. Crikey. I wish I could be brave enough to tackle something like this. You must have given the car a new lease of life with a new clutch. Typically a clutch change like this would costs around £1100 ish including the DMF and clutch. Labour is around £600 to £700 maybe more if there...

Hi Guys, Just a quick one, the Accord has developed a slight leak on the high pressure power steering hose. Seems its quite a common issue on Honda's when they get bit older. It has began to sweep just where the anchor point is on the top rubber hose section. A new one from Honda is an eye...

Usually this type of issue points towards the slave cylinder which has already been replaced. Maybe they havent bled the system properly? You say you picked the car up after the work was done? Did you not test the car before paying the garage and driving off or was it ok and the issue occurred...

Thanks for the confirmation F6HAD :)

Hi Guys, Someone side swiped me today on the m25, and creased the front drivers wing alittle. Too minor to go through insurance as they prob write the car off. Quick question, Will keep alook out for front wing fenders, but just wondering if the front wing fenders of all years of the 7th gen...

I had to replace both my rear ones in the past. (not really the sensor fault, more so debris in the hub when i dismantled everything and the other side, something nicked the sensor wire and damaged it.) I had to drill them out as they were seized in. Once drilled out they are very easy to...

Haha, I spent alot on time on there too, especially through my uni days. Learnt so much about cars and maintenance from those 2 forums.

I remember civic sports club and then civiclife when I had my civic back in the days. They are all gone now.

This is one of the Accord's great little features, and also as far as im aware never found its way into the 8th gen Accord. Not sure why! When the ambient temps go below 3 degrees (you also see the snow flake warning on the display too). The aircon compressor will kick in, however it wont blow...

It is an outrage that they have done this. I heard one of the reasons for this charge was because of the additional Heathrow runway and reducing the poluttion due to this. Any petrol car which is 2001 or newer and euro 4 compliant will not be subject to the ULEZ charge. A diesel need to be at...

Heard that Climair deflectors are pretty good. Handy to have the window slightly opened when raining or for smokers.

On my third drum of the stuff and due to buy a fourth. Superb oil and fab value. My ictdi gets serviced three times a year. Even thought its low saps and not really required for the ictdi ive always used it with no issues. High recommended. Theres a discount code too somewhere for 10% off.

Its hard to hear and comment on sound through videos as the audio tends to be compressed and can manipulate the sound somewhat. Does sound ok to me, not much of a chain rattle When was the last oil service and how often is the oil changed? I would recommend changing the oil and see if it...
