Many thanks for the info- I'll get hold of the tool from my local ECP, and download the manual.

Yes, it looks to be tricky but if I leave it it's going to get worse. The car is in very good condition for its age and I want to keep it a bit longer.

Now that the weather is improving (hopefully) and we have more daylight hours I want to tackle rust that has started to appear on the near-side inner rear wheel arch of my 2005 Tourer. To do this properly I want to remove the inner wheel arch plastic insert so that I can sort out the rust from...

My 2005 Tourer has a small rust spot on the outer edge of the rear o/s wheel arch. I've tackled it with deruster etc. and it seems to be ok at the moment. However, when the weather picks up next spring I will make a better job of it. My local garage offers a complete underbody spray and I am...

Yes, I should have said that a previous repair of the Takata (not Tekdata!) airbag inflator is mentioned in the letter from Honda - and it's in BOLD. This is an additional recall to replace the inflator with an alternative type. I bought the Tourer in 2016 as a replacement for a Civic Aerodeck...

I've recently received a Safety Recall letter from Honda in Hemel Hempstead regarding the passenger side Tekdata Airbag inflator. Apparently this applies to several Honda models including the Accord and Accord Tourer (my car). To quote the letter from Honda - "In the event of an impact where the...

As a follow up to my original post - I followed my wife in my Accord Tourer to the local garage that we use, and her Accord died as we turned into the gate to the garage! Fortunately there were enough people to push the car into the garage. It turned out to be the alternator which was at fault...

The ABS light on my wife's 1999 Accord ES has recently started to stay on after the initial starting period. In addition, yesterday the needles on the rev counter and speedometer started to flicker for a few seconds and then both fell to zero. Also, the needles on both the fuel gauge and the...

Thank you Antdad for that which I've downloaded and taken a look at. It appears to be comprehensive but hellish complicated!!! I have managed to remove the mirror glass with the aid of a long screwdriver and twisting it in-between the black body of the glass and the white plastic holder within...

A freak accident (don't ask) has resulted in me breaking the passenger side mirror on my Accord. It means that I have to remove the broken mirror and replace it with the new part from Honda. Has anyone experience of removing the broken mirror? As it's an electric and heated mirror I ***ume it is...

I need a near side front fog light surround (the black plastic bit) or a complete unit for my Mk 7 Accord Tourer (2005). On a couple of occasions recently the complete unit has popped out while I'm driving and just been hanging by the cable. On inspection part of the plastic that snaps into the...

Thank you - I'll take a look at the website.

Does any one have a tow bar for sale, plus fittings, electrics etc for a Mk 7 Tourer? If so - what price please? Thanks.

I recently lost the front driver-side cover of the roof-rail on my Accord Tourer. At the time I had roof bars on the roof rails as I was transporting two 4 metre lengths of timber. The cover had come loose a few months earlier and I had super-glued it back on. I ***ume the roof bar, plus the...

Thank you for the replies - all very helpful. My Accord is a petrol engine, so the filter will be in the fuel tank. Not too sure that I want to go ferreting in there! According to the owner's manual the fuel filter should be replaced every 25,000 miles. I've covered about 12,000 miles since...

I've owned my 2005 Tourer for about two years and while I haven't covered a massive mileage I want to replace the fuel filter. However, while I've looked on www.lingshondaparts for a diagram without luck I can't find its location in the engine bay. Where is it situated? Also, having replaced the...

Ok - I've had the Tourer up on the ramps after taking it for a short spin - and not a drip of water to be seen! It's called Sod's Law! I've had a good inspection of the area of the rear box near the oval shape with the aid of a torch and I can't see any small holes. I don't know if weather...

Bounder thank you for that information. I am going to investigate further this morning with the Accord on ramps. This will give me a better view of just where the water drip is coming from. On first sight it certainly appears to be around the oval shape. So it's overall on and crawl under the car!

Of course - the usual place that you see water is at the tail pipe, particularly when the car is first started. My concern is that the water is seeping from a pinhole in the weld either at the junction of the pipe to the rear box, or at a point in the rear oval shape of the silencer box. I did...

Further to my original post I purchased a genuine Honda exhaust for my Tourer (55 reg) and had it fitted by a local garage that I regularly use for MOT etc. After a week or so I noticed a slow drip of water from the rear silencer box - not from the rear pipe, but from the "front side" where the...
