I have dealt with this company before when I had a 7th Gen , very good to deal with. https://www.theremotedoctor.co.uk/index.html

I haven't had to do anything to my Accord but the wifes Impreza has HID and the little arm failed and caused the beam to be very low. The local farm store had 6mm balljoint ends for tractor windows and two of them and a small piece of 6mm threaded rod made a very acceptable substitute. The...

Mine came from a Honda dealers and the trim was loose, I didn't want to lose the trim so prised it off carefully, cleaned and dried thoroughly and used black tigerseal to re-attach the trim. It hasn't moved in the several years since so I'm hoping it will stay that way. I don't like the little...

Molykote 55 is an O-ring specific grease

Head unit is Alpine so while its Hondas problem, its actually Alpines error. Just be thankful, Imagine what these electric cars are going to do when the software starts glitching in them.

It is a problem that affects many Honda's it has to do with the GPS data in the navi system and is not fixable at the present time. My 8th Gen started to do that from 01/01/22 and many other Hondas are also affected. The issue is that the Navi system is running Windows CE and the way the date...

The date is important as the time of year will either be BST or Standard which will in turn change it by an hour. You have to disconnect the GPS aerial to prevent it self updating.

My 2013 Type S is the same, showing 1 hr fast. I went into the menu on the nav screen and noticed that it is indicated as WET which I ***ume refers to Western Europe Time? In the menu I could set it to the correct time but it doesn't change the aircon display time below the nav screen.

Plenty of penetrating oil on the captive nut on the big bushing. That vertical bolt often seizes and is somewhat aggravating to remove. I did mine not too long ago and fortunately they werent seized, my previous 7th Gen had the near side seized when I did them years ago and that required a lot...

They don't look like Mazda arms. Accord are cast and Mazda use pressed and welded.

Have you looked at a Mondeo Estate? They have a decent boot, I think the Superb is a class leader in terms of size though.

Its a very different car, I loved the Mk7 size and carrying capacity, however due to a number of factors including being rear ended and writing it off, I changed to a Mk8 Type S Tourer and while I do miss the boot size and passenger leg room of the Mk7 tourer, the extra power and better handling...

If it just fits in a Mk7 Tourer it won't go anywhere near a Mk8. I have had both and the Mk7 is cavernous compared to the Mk8. Mk8 is more of a hatchback than a proper Tourer in my estimation.

Get yourself some Scotch VHB tape and use that. Its what the factory use for mounting spoilers and the like.

Those are the ATE brakepads commonly known as "hammerheads" because of the shape of the wings on each side.

My biggest gripe with VAG stuff is their policy of coding parts, it really sickens me. The Japanese never went down that road of making parts unique to one car and needing special scantools to fit them.

I remove the whole caliper, clamp the hose to stop fluid leakage. Remove all rubber parts from the caliper and heat it with a blowtorch until its hot enough to sizzle water dripped on to it. Leave to cool and use a wire brush in a rotary tool to clean the grooves in the caliper. Blow clean and...

Enjoy ! I went down the same route when my 7th Gen EX was rear ended and written off. The 8th gen is not as practical but handles better and with Fahads magic touch the Type S produces sufficient power and torque to make driving pleasurable. Long distance is its forté, 300+km journeys are no...

I don't think they are the same internally, the one that has the arm is a wind in piston IIRC and the other has a straight push piston.

I used a wheel from a Civic. they fit and are almost identical in rolling diameter with a 205/55-16 tyre. On my ATS they have to be fitted to the rear as they won't clear the brakes but perform well on the rear.
