    Accord rear enti-roll bar drop link broken

    I replaced mine 3 times already, last time with honda parts...I am still not sure if I did it properly as there is still some slight knocking present. Also bolts on each side are not of the same length, I took my chances and fitted it as I thought was correct. The hex socket inside that bolt is...

    Boot/Tailgate issues

    Hi If the boot holds its position while fully opened then it must be the motor. Mine used to open fully but then would beep and close again. It was due to weak gas struts, they couldn't hold it upright. I would check out the motor mate, Dan

    First attempt to remove swirls and scratches

    Wow, a fiver? That is a good deal:) Ultimate compound seems to do the job very well but the amount of hand work you have to put in, my god my arm still hurts :lol: That is why I consider machine polishing cause I cant imagine doing my whole car this way. Also scratch x2.0 was another product I...

    First attempt to remove swirls and scratches

    Hi guys. Today I decided to try and remove some of the swirls and scratches. It was done by hand but I got a machine polisher (not the top stuff) and will give it a go later. Took me an hour to do the boot spoiler and a tiny bit of roof. Here is how it looked before, my car is covered in these...

    Opening the boot...

    If your car is locked you cant open any doors mate and that includes boot as well. Also if you unlock and car locks itself, you have to unlock again from your key and then press the boot opening button. If you still cant open your boot manually then the handle mechanism is broken. Hope it helps, Dan

    Lesson learnt. They looked so good, oh yeah and the price! Man three times cheaper than OEM! SOOOOO GOOOD. Here is the story. Replaced one as original snapped. Used one of the many available on ebay. Within few months that snapped. Well I thought I still got the second one. So I fitted it...

    Oil filter

    Hi. GENUINE ONLY, no question about it. There must be just a few quid difference between OEM and after-market ones. Not worth it the risk mate. When I purchased my accord I bought Blueprint fuel filter. I had to change it a week or so later as it was cutting out the fuel supply on higher revs...

    Noisy auxiliary belt area

    Hi mate, hopefully the whining noise you here wont be alternator bearing. The longer belt puts to much pressure on alternator through one of the pulleys that is removed when revised belt is fitted. You dont have to ask really as all belt fitted now are the revised ones and the offending pulley...

    I prefer the aftermarket ones as they are much easier to fit. OEM are pain to remove if they brake, I had to drill thru bolt and snap it to replace it. Did the rear, now I got the front to do as well :) Dan
