    Can you get just the clutch for an air compressor?

    I guess you mean air conditioning compressor - it looks like it https://shorturl.at/Bb8GM Best to check with a local honda dealer to see what price they can get it for you - part number is listed as 38900-RL0-G51 (replacement for 38810-rl0-g51) Looks like you can order the older part number...

    Clutch Bite Point and Wastegate Stick

    You could try to bleed the clutch system in the first instance - a cheap fix potentially - I've been messing around with my slave cylinder recently and initially had some weird pedal engagement as i'd not bled it properly. If the clutch is original at 186k its definitely led a good life so it...

    Chris Knott Phone call

    I got some quotes for renewal this year and none of the insurers I normally use would quote with mods declared I rang 3x brokers (Chris Knott, Brentacre and Adrian Flux) and Chris Knott were the cheapest of the 3. Wasn't exactly cheap, but even a quote without any mods declared on my car has...

    Diesel Injector removal

    See attached From reading online it seems common that they get stuck, like Fahad says. There are special removal tools - basically a slide hammer that attatches to the injector. On the instructions it says to use a new gasket, that looks like the equivalent to the o rings I found that were...

    Diesel Injector removal

    Check ESM to see if there's any specific instructions - there's a thread here on how to access it - i'll have a look tomorrow as I'm curious, I've had mine out on my car but it's a petrol. They're just held in by some thin metal clips, then unbolting the fuel rail, that's about it. On my car...

    New Key Lock Not Start Engine

    Maybe the blade is interchangeable though? Can you post pic / part numbers of what you have?

    New Key Lock Not Start Engine

    Not a topic i've dealt with much myself, but my understanding is there's a chip in the key that communicates with the immobiliser, which I imagine is now missing (or at least not ***ociated with your car, "programmed") and is stopping your car starting Can you take the blade out of the key you...

    Rear camber out of alignment

    Is the car lowered? Our cars have quite an extreme "camber curve" particularly at the rear, so as the car is lowered there is a lot of negative camber introduced. The cars don't have any camber adjustment from factory but there are aftermarket adjustable arms from K-Tuned, Megan Racing, Hardrace...

    2009 i-DTEC EX Tourer D-Pillar Trim/Speaker Cover Removal

    I think the SRS part is just for safety purposes (probably the Honda lawyers wanted that in there as you've been near an airbag!) so I wouldnt worry as long as you're being careful not jabbing the airbag with screwdrivers etc ;) I think by the sounds of things the clip just breaks on removal...

    2009 i-DTEC EX Tourer D-Pillar Trim/Speaker Cover Removal

    Glad you're going in the right direction I'll have a read up on the srs grommet thing as I'd be curious to know I have had my front windscreen pillar trims off to run wires for my aftermarket DAB antenna and head unit mic, these have an airbag behind too maybe I was supposed to do something...

    [Guide] Intake Manifold Upgrade on K24Z3 engine (RSP/RBC/RRC/etc)

    I've got a flashpro on my car but I'm just on the basemap at the moment, only tweaked a few settings like disabled the secondary O2 sensor, lowered VTEC slightly and removed the "rev hang" Because the throttle body and injectors haven't been changed I think it's ok on a generic/base map. My car...

    E Brake Cable replacement

    For an auto, i'd probably just put it in park for now and fix it when you're home. A lot of people don't even bother to use the handbrake on autos!

    E Brake Cable replacement

    Part number looks to be 47510SEAE03 - around 40 euros from Japan. Also available aftermarket places from the usual online sites like Autodoc for similar/cheaper price. I guess that will leave €360 labour which is a lot - I found a video of the process and it doesn't look too bad - probably a...

    Accord 7th Gen brakes update: All OEM solutions

    It looks to me like when you order the caliper it's supposed to come with all the components together as there doesn't appear to be another part number for this piece https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/honda/accord/8-sedan-right-cu-2008-74/chassis-and-transmission-7/front-brake-1477 You may...

    Re-program Ignition Keys

    Disclaimer - I've not tried this myself It looks like you can reprogram keys in HDS (Honda Diagnostic System - the software that Honda dealerships use to diagnose/program cars) according to some videos/websites I found - e.g. - doubt there's an android app but you can get a cheap...

    [Guide] Intake Manifold Upgrade on K24Z3 engine (RSP/RBC/RRC/etc)

    If you haven't already bypassed the coolant lines for the throttle body, the shorter hose in the PRL kit is used for this purpose. I used a couple of 5/16" vacuum line plugs to cover the fittings on the TB. The intake manifold "side" of the PRL throttle body adapter is the wrong shape for the...

    [Guide] Intake Manifold Upgrade on K24Z3 engine (RSP/RBC/RRC/etc)

    A common upgrade for K-Series engines is changing the intake manifold. Generally speaking, these swap a little low end torque for increased high end power. Additionally, at least in my opinion, they do also look a lot cooler in the engine bay than the (partially) plastic one our cars received...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Had another go but it's totally fused to the cylinder, even after grinding a notch in the side the c clip can't be removed. I've put it back on the car and ordered a new one, hopefully I can modify that one and swap them.
