Your welcome. Its a great bit of kit and as you say the filter is no top so its a dream to service. Havent used it for the gearbox but would probably be best to drain the gearbox the usual way as gearbox oil has a long interval change. yeah, I think the smart car has no sump and the oil is...

Yep, I use the PELA 6000. Brilliant bit of kit. I tend to use this usually in the winter for my interim oil changes and then drain the oil from the sump as normal during the summer months. The extractor doesn't suck all the oil out though, 100/150ml of oil will remain but shouldn't cause any...

What brand of driveshafts did they use? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Could be a duff battery but not starting when hot does sound like the common pressure relief valve. Having said that, with the issues appearing right after an aux belt and filter change it is really odd. I can imagine it would be the starter motor, but the symptom of failing to start when...

Your accord is a preface-lift model (ranges form 2003-2005). Bluetooth hands free kits were an option on your model. The 2006-2008 accord was the face lift and I think only the Sport and EX (executive) models had them as standard. Also called HFT (hands free telephone) Face lift had the...

What model of accord have you got - year, engine size, petrol or diesel? Always thought Honda clutches were self adjusting.

Model/Spec: Honda Accord 2.2 ictdi (4 door saloon) Year: 2006 Mileage: Just ticked over 165k miles. How long owned: 4 years Problems you've had: The best car I have owned, offers superb value for money with all the toys. German equivalents can't match the Accord for price and specification...

I've been using imgr Quite smooth website and much slicker than photobucket. Photbucket was awful. Lol. Although every single pic I have hosted on forums over that last 10 years have been on photbucket. Lol. What a waste. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Blimey. That's pricey. Is that for x1? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I replaced my upper control arm last year. It's one complete piece. It's an easy job to do, slightly tricky with the suspension dampers in the way but definitely doable. Did mine in an afternoon. Don't bother with getting the ball joint on its own. Much much easier getting the whole arm and...

2006 Accord Saloon ictdi. Just touched over 165k -Original clutch and DMF -Original Turbo -Original Exhaust system Doing approx 2k miles a month. It relatively has an easy life on the M25/M40 - lol.

Congrats - Thats a big number :) Keep up the great support

Fantastic work there Jan. Any more pics of the car, loving the height drop on the eibach springs. Should have been the height from factory in my opinion. Will be lowering mine soon on eibach springs. Is the pipercross air filter a direct drop in replacement? Do you have a part number for it?

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Garages are always hard to trust and hence why I always do work on my car myself where possible. The ictdi engine a breeze to service. Everything is accessible from the top (air filter and oil filter) You mention you dont have access to a garage or axle...

As mentioned above, do a search on double din installs. It has been covered numerous times. This would be the setup that most people go for - Sits on the lower cubby hole section. http://s181.photobucket.com/user/crunkman99/media/SNC00049-1.jpg.html Would need to get an additional loom which...

What diagnostics machine are you using? Only abs dedicated machines can read honda ABS codes. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

You sure the VSA button was not accidentally disengaged? If i turn off the VSA on my accord the triangle will illuminate. Not sure if its the same with the 8th gen

I have a 7th Gen Accord 2006-2008 model and have been on these forums for over 3 years now. From that time I have hardly read of any issues relating to the timing chain of an 8th gen Accord. Having said that, I have not read of any serious issues on the 8th gen diesel accord. Providing the car...

Fantastic news Daveg. Did the replacement need programming or anything? Or was it just a drop in and replace? I always thought they needed programming or your original one needed to be used so had to be refurbed. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
