The Type S has 8.0J wheels which take 235/45/18 's I wonder if they went to 235/45 to give some more ride comfort over 225/45?

I had a 7th Gen EX and fitted a Grom BT3 unit to it so I could stream BT music to the stereo. It worked well but unfortunately after my car was rear ended it was removed by the insurance company before I was able to remove it. I know Grom audio have an additional module that can be retrofitted...

I'm not sure if they are a direct fit, have you seen this thread regarding brakes on the Mk7 ? https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/accord-7th-gen-brakes-update-all-oem-solutions.23064/

Type S also have 320mm Ø discs not just twin pot calipers. Its expensive going down that road unless you pick up the parts separately. The VRS have massive discs 340mm Ø so not surprised the brakes are good.

This is where you need accurate VIN info, like from a dealer. Unfortunately a lot of the online part suppliers will just ask for general vehicle details and from that will produce a list of parts that you choose from which means you have to know exactly what you are dealing with and sizes etc...

I picked up a piece of metal in my tyre and it damaged the casing beyond repair even though it was in the centre of the tread, tyre was almost new, and I had taken out insurance on them when I bought them. The insurance paid for the tyre but I had to wait while it was delivered from their...

Are you sure a 16" rim won't fit? I have a tourer and I fitted a 16" Steel wheel from a Civic. Its smaller than the 18" stock alloys but I always fit it to the rear so it clears the brakes. Well worth trying to fit a full size wheel, its better than a space saver to my mind. But a space saver...

There is a plug and play module from Honda to allow auto mirror fold, I can't remember the part number but it is available. Miles to Km I am not sure is possible. I have miles as mine was a UK car but Ireland has the Km system. I can convert in my head so it doesn't bother me.

Problem solving bushings, South African made. I had them fitted to my 7th Gen , I liked them a lot. I couldn't find them for the 8th Gen so I just used TRW wishbones complete. I may get a set of the Siberian and rebuild the old arms with them at some point if the TRW start to fail.

Look at the seams on the body near the top of the door, also the seams in the roof under the weather strip. Those can and will leak over time as the sealant fails.

It could be another seat not necessarily the drivers seat

That is the seatbelt pretensioner unit, not sure how you fix it.

I thought there was a set price through Honda happiness or maybe that was a long time ago?

I think the front seats are the same LHD/RHD only difference will be the driver seat has more adjustment. Just the bolster should be fine to change, probably the foam will be bad as well.

Honda and valve chatter in the same sentence? Glad the motor is running well, it will be some difference I bet?

Clutch pedal switch faulty? Did the new CMC come with the switch installed or maybe just the act of breaking the connection and remaking it was enough? Let me know how you find the Siberian bushings, I was looking at them but ended up going for complete TRW branded arms, seems good so far, I...

Thats encouraging news, mine hasn't failed and the funny noise seems to have abated for now but I will definitely keep an eye on it.

Gen 7 starter was at the front of the engine down low but the 8th Gen has a reversed layout because of the DPF at the front, The starter is at the rear of the engine so access will be from below, you will have to remove the plastic undertrays to access it correctly. Two long bolts hold it in. It...

The Honda sound system is a lot more complicated then you might think. I don't know enough about them to tell you what the issue is but I have seen several threads like yours where people have tried to add aftermarket parts and is has not worked.

What ACEA code is it?
