    2.2 i-ctdi checking blow-by by opening oil filler cap

    Have you cleaned out the air mass sensors and egr? Mine was running lumpy, turb wasn't spooling up until 2500rpm... once the t air flow sensors and egr were cleaned it transformed the car... It's 30-60 mins work and a couple of spray cans of cleaner that will do the job many times... about £16...

    Ebay Brake discs? Anyone had a go with these?

    I'm not a fan of drilled discs, I've seen far to many that crack around the holes and then fail... and a shattered disc is not something you want to experience. Also you need to check if the grooves were cut before or after the discs were hardened... many of these are nothing more than cheap...

    Looks Like I Will Be Breaking My Old 2005 EX, PFL Tourer

    No codes reported regarding the airbag light. I have however resolved the engine noise... and it's not the engine. Turns out it's the AC compressor, and once you disengage it... the noise stops. So I just need to disconnect the compressor entirely as anytime you use the auto side of the...

    Another update... although the BT system appear to work, after a closer look, it wasn't the mic that had failed. So I did the bake repair on the module and whilst it's working... I can't get the voice control to accept certain commands, so I'm unable to do the phone setup because it keeps...

    Looks Like I Will Be Breaking My Old 2005 EX, PFL Tourer

    I'll get around to checking for codes this week, I've got an OBDII reader. I've got a replacement already, currently doing some work to it before putting it on the road... When exactly, I'm not sure exactly.. I may save up a little extra money first. I've got some paintowrk to sort, a spoiler...

    Cheap Satnav discs - Look genuine

        I bought some 2011 V2 maps for my PFL tourer and that was immediately identified as fake. I tried it and noticed it took longer to download the data, and longer to boot up... Within a very short time, it took longer and longer each time. I switched back to the official disc and...

    Cheap Satnav discs - Look genuine

    I picked up a cheap 3.0C satnav disc from an ebay seller who claims they were genuine OEM discs and not copies... I paid £23 I was expecting it to be a knock off, and if it had been then I would have reported it as such and got a refund... But it looks genuine. I can see no signs that it's...

    Looks Like I Will Be Breaking My Old 2005 EX, PFL Tourer

    Sadly, it looking like I will have to break my old girl. A noise that started after a 600 mile roundtrip, continues to elude diagnosis and I've reached the point where I can't justify throwing any more money at a car with 173k on the clock that's worth at best... £1000. Especially when it...

    New Purchase - New Project

    I've had a much closer look at the wheels... they've got a diamond cut face to the spokes.... which I really hate. So I'll definitely be getting them powder coated... It's just a question of how dark I want to go. I'll see what colour options they offer without going to extra expense... If it...

    New Purchase - New Project

        I love my tourer... but I bought it partly because I needed room for a wheelchair and my old saloon made for a very tight squeeze when you add in luggage and so forth. Since my dad passed away, the extra space whilst lovely to have... isn't a requirement now. I did very nearly...

    High mileage club?

    Mine currently has 173k on the clock and drives like a car with a lot less under it... Just finished a 600 mile round trip last week and got 54mpg out of an EX Tourer on the return journey, the first leg was a lot of stop start, town and country roads and traffic and only got me 44mpg... Whilst...

    New Purchase - New Project

    My trusty old 54 plate (2005) Accord Tourer EX is starting to get a little long in the tooth. She's served me well over the last couple of years and will continue to serve a new owner for many to come. But I wanted something newer, something that would give me a little extra MPG's now that I...

    MP3 player aux connection

    As said before... 99% of these units DO NOT support any car with the Navigation system fitted... only the lower spec units... and you can pick up those for the lower spec units for less than £20 on ebay. Those of us with Navi units are screwed basically.

    Upgrading to the sat nav system

    My issue was that the grom kit had a fault, it would reset itself multiple times as you were driving along, I tried to deal with the UK reseller... and that's where the problems began. They're nothing more than a bunch of lying, decietful c**ts... tried to rip me off for more money for a faulty...

    Upgrading to the sat nav system

    It's possible, b ut it's expensive and simply not worth doing on a car that's 11/12 yrs old now... If you've got more money than sense and a desperate desire to make everything look OEM... then go for it. If however you want a simpler and far cheaper option... then get a kit that plugs into the...

    Accord i-CTDi aftermarket navigation

    In my opinion... no. Firstly: you've got to buy all of the stuff you need and that's not cheap.. ebay sellers are notorious for over pricing these things and I've seen them sat on ebay for months without selling You need the satnav unit, dvd drive, gps module and the top dash section with the...

    car accident options

    I got £1700 payout for mine, and it's now a Cat-C... I doubt it's worth more than £800-1000 now but all you can do is look on autotrader for cars of a similar age/mileage and see if any are registered as cat-c to compare.

    DIY 7th Gen Dipped Beam Headlight Bulb Change

    You must have very tiny hands... because this is the amount of room you're working with. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vied1tbt4b3jaqd/2017-07-06%2014.37.54.jpg?dl=0 There's no way to move the neck of the washer bottle out of the way, in fact if you undo the supporting bolt on the neck... you...

    Accord i-CTDi aftermarket navigation

    Has anyone ever tried simply swapping over the navi head unit from a facelift into a pre-facelift? Does anyone want to test it out... I've got a PFL and would love to have more up to date maps and so forth... can live without the phone function until I replace this one... If swapping over the...
