    No sound from speakers?

    Might be the amplifier. The premium audio system features an external amplifier. This is located in the centre dash section just under the dvd player. The channel outputs may have been damaged. Has all the speakers worked before or have you bought the car with those speakers not working?

    Ashtray bulb

    I think its the 286 miniature capless bulb. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAR-DASH-LIGHT-MINIATURE-BULBS-CAPLESS-CLEAR-T5-286-12V-1-2W-PK-10-NEW-/281193920003?hash=item417876b603:m:m92O2zmdfCr51_V4JGZBTTg Would need to be confirmed though. Best take out your ashtray and physically take the bulb out...

    Drinks holder cover catch

    I think you should be able to rmeove the cup holder ***embly without removing the entire centre section. From the parts explosion you may have to remove item 41, see the first few seconds of this video on how to do that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjz5Po-uUpA&feature=youtu.be Then part 15...

    Car dies when slowing down

    Thought it was a petrol hence the IACV valve. Ignore that one. As Farad says - does seem a strange one - not heard of this symptom before on the ictdi. TPS issues tend to be jerky acceleration and you should get a fault code if it is faulty but can be intermittent I thought it would be the EGR...

    Facelift and prefacelift bumpers are different so they are not interchangeable

    Drinks holder cover catch

    Your probably better off buying a complete cup holder unit. They are not very much money on ebay or people breaking accords on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Accord-02-07-Middle-Centre-Console-Storage-Box-Lid-Cup-Holder-/252583877701?hash=item3acf2c1c45:g:WKoAAOSwNRdX~6~d Obviously...

    Clearing dew off windows

    Use one of these http://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/sponges-brushes-buckets/autoglym-hi-tech-flexi-water-blade or wipe with microfibre cloths - they wipe clean without leaving water marks - Cloths will soak up water quickly so would need to be dried out each use depending on amount...

    Engine fault on

    Cheapest way people do this is to buy a bluetooth dongle which fits into the OBD2 port Connect to your phone and download the torque app which is known to be pretty good. It can scan live data apparently from the reviews i have read...

    Engine fault on

    Did you buy the car with the engine fault and abs light on? If yes what did the seller say about it? You will need an OBD2 handheld diagnostic reader to read the fault code - they are quite cheap to buy. However with the airbag fault you will need a dedicated reader (snap on or HDS (Honda...

    Accord Suspension

    The 7th gen diesel is a great comfortable car, i do 100 miles a day and find it extremely smooth and soft over the bumps. I have the stock 17 inch wheels and still find it very comfortable. I cant imagine how bad yours is, perhaps the suspension currently on there is not original and has been...

    Headlight bulbs always blowing

    No need to buy genuine Honda bulbs. Main bulb manufacturers are Philips or Osram or GE. These guys usually supply the main dealers and re-brand them as Honda. If you want longer lasting bulbs you can purchase Osram ultra life bulbs (3x the life of normal bulbs) or philips long life bulbs...

    Battery or gizmo's

    The Diesels tend to require a hefty amount of current to power up the glow plugs upon a cold start, thats why the batteries in the diesels have a quite large capacity. Around 780 CCA. A normal petrol car is around 360 CCA. The alarm chime when leaving your lights on wouldnt consume too much...

    Acceleration juddering & black smoke out the exhaust

    The juddering does sound like a clogged up EGR valve. Although your car seems to have extremely low mileage. Your cheapest option would be to see if you can clean it out first. There is a tricky bolt on the facelift EGR valves, if you cannot remove this bolt (i.e seized or rounded off) then...

    Sidelight Issue - Help Please!

    I dont think there is a any other way of removing it other than having to remove the headlamp ***embly itself. (should be an afternoons work) Although leaving the LED in there shouldnt cause any issues - would just have to sacrifice the capless LED and get another one to replace it.

    master CLY would u believe it !

    I do question the quality of Eurocarparts stuff. A friend of mine always buys parts form there and the quality isnt great. Might be worth going genuine OEM for clutch master cylinder.

    Where to buy replacement exhaust manifold

    It should be covered by Honda but i think the warranty claim for it has no expired. Definitely worth asking your local Honda dealer though just in case. I wouldn't trust anything else other than a genuine honda part. As you have done the job twice now - its better to just fork out the money...
