    Blowing Headlight Bulbs

    Check and clean the earth straps where they mount to the body. Any verdigris and corrosion should be removed and the wire brought back to a bright shiny finish. Then coated with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly. I never had to change the headlight bulbs on my Mk7, only one sidelight bulb...

    Need a key

    This was several years ago, I think the cutting was €10 the programming was €20 and the key was €30-40 IIRC. The whole lot wasn't £100

    Need a key

    What are you needing? I got a blank key off him, a local place cut it for me and the Honda dealer programmed it. I only had to supply him my VIN, maybe contact him and ask what he needs from you?

    Clock issue since new year

    If you have roofrails, check they are not leaking around the mounting studs. I used Captain Tolleys creeping crack sealer to fix similar on a previous car with a leak.

    Clock issue since new year

    Great timing! I was just looking at my clock yesterday (16th) and thinking it was correct, then this morning it was an hour slow again!

    MAHLE fuel filter the same as genuine?

    Bosch made the 7th Gen ICTDI fuel filters, the IDTEC version is made by Mahle/Knecht. The part number on the filter itself from the Honda packaging is the same as the Mahle/Knecht filter. That said I haven't found a huge difference in pricing between online and Honda dealers for those parts. The...

    MK8 DIESEL AUTOMATIC TOURER, got to change the fuel filter, got a genuine one, and the 15 flute tool, what I need is directions on how to go about do

    Auto version Fuel filter is not where the manual version lives. Its as Fahad says under the rear of car. The manual versions are straightforward to access behind the strut brace.

    Clutch Master Cylinder - Accord 2009 2.2 i-dtec type s Saloon

    There looks to be a small electronic unit with a green plug that obstructs the access to the nut, you can see this from underneath the dash. I didn't have time to have a decent look at how to remove that but I think that is the main obstruction.

    Clutch Master Cylinder - Accord 2009 2.2 i-dtec type s Saloon

    I had a look at mine tonight and I think with a 1/4" or 3/8" socket set and a longish extension with a universal joint it is accessible from the front if you drop the panel just below the wheel and go straight in.

    Hand brake adjustment for 2011 accord I-detec ex

    Adjust it at the hub first, you probably will not need to adjust the main nut.

    Clock gone haywire !

    I'm not sure I'd base my car buying decision on something as trivial as a clock, I think reliability is far more important than an incorrect time on a digital clock. On that basis alone I would find it hard to walk away from a Honda, but you pays your money and you takes your chances.

    centre console hdmi and aux points

    The wired solution from headphone jack to aux actually works quite well, USB is less reliable and bluetooth is useless except for phone calls.

    centre console hdmi and aux points

    USB port is for plugging in a USB stick, its a bit flakey. My IPhone used to work but now does not . if you have a 3.5mm stereo to 3.5mm stereo lead you can plug it into your phone and play directly from that but as far as functionality with the head unit goes its not a runner.

    Honda are the best place to get them from IMO.

    knock from Front left corner

    I changed the whole arms on mine as well. If you are doing this yourself, it might be worth getting some new bolts for that bush. They can seize in the chassis and can be troublesome to remove.

    Type s facelift lights

    No canbus on these cars. Personally I stick with old skool bulbs. I have seen to many weird failure and strange stuff with LED's installed in cars that were not designed for them.
