Thanks for you reply - no fluid loss, and no greasy hands! No I haven't tried alcohol rubbing. Re the Legacy - I had a test drive and an ok drive, but on return and as soon as I started to drive "the old girl" (the Accord) I knew which one I preferred. Also, as a Japanese import I didn't...

Ok - the saga of the squealing drive belt continues! While it's not a major issue on my 2005, series 7 Tourer, it is annoying. I initially replaced the drive belt in January 2023 (Dayco p/n 7PK1759) and it didn't stop the squealing noise. I decided to replace the drive belt tensioner to see if...

Hello all - 2 years after fitting a new drive belt and it's squealing again, so I've decided to replace the tensioner pulley ***embly plus a shorter belt which seems to be the way to go. My 2005 Accord Tourer SE is the 2.0 litre engine (K20 etc) and the belt that I fitted is a Dayco 7PK1759...

Hello and apologies for not replying sooner - email problems etc. The garage I used in Stafford for the replacement sill section was Bridge Street Garage and the proprietor is Wayne Butler - tel: 01785 254348. It was only the rear off-side that needed doing. The smoothing and spraying was done...

Hi F6HAD and thanks for the info and pics. It looks as if I have to remove carpet & noise deadening material under the seat and hopefully that will uncover the access to the fuel tank - fingers crossed.

I've recently bought a fuel filter for my petrol 2005 Accord Tourer from Holdcroft Honda as in nearly 9 years of ownership I haven't renewed this item. What I've received is described as a fuel strainer - p/n 16010-SED-003. I contacted Holdcroft Honda and was ***ured that the build spec for my...

At last - the rusty wheel arch section has been replaced, and resprayed and I'm more than happy with it. I used a recommended garage in Stafford for the welding of a new arch section and was charged £80 for that. I replaced the plastic wheel arch liner plus the various fittings and it went in...

If you're still looking for the trim clips, I've recently replaced these on the rear wheel arch lining on my 2005 Tourer. The ones I found are labelled Pearl Consumables trim clips, p/n PTC109 and described as push rivet, connect ref:36510, and with Toyota - 90467-07166 also on the label. I...

On Sunday (April 21) I managed to remove the plastic insert plus all the fixings, along with a 3 inch section of the very rusty rim edge. It was a bit of a wrangle but I got it out. So it can be done. After a look under the cover the plastic insert was put back in - another wrangle - and with...

OK - latest on the now very rusty o/s rear wheel arch rim. I've booked the Tourer in with a local garage to have the rusty metal sill cut out and replaced with fresh metal. My main concern now is damage to the plastic wheel arch insert (inner) caused by heat from the welding. Yesterday I jacked...

Hello Phil - payment of £5 made today and address is: Phil Hickman, 2, Tunstall Lane, High Offley, Staffordshire. ST20 0NQ and thanks again...

Also as a matter of interest re rust, I bought my Tourer in 2016 (2 previous owners) and one of the first jobs I had done was a complete underbody waxoyl spray to protect the underside. Apart from the rear o/s wheel arch lip there is no obvious signs of rust. I've booked the car in to have the...

Hello Phil - thanks for your reply. I will transfer £5 probably tomorrow now.

Hello Phil - I would certainly be interested if the handbook is still available. The MOT for my 55 plate Tourer is due in October and with fingers, toes etc crossed I hope it will pass. Please let me know about the handbook. Thanks Phil (yes - another Phil)

Thanks for the replies - am going to ask my MOT garage when it goes for MOT in 2 weeks.

Recently I became aware of a scraping noise coming from the rear off-side on my 55 plate Tourer. Suspecting that it was a brake issue I removed the rear wheel and saw that the metal plate that acts as a cover around the brake disc was very rusty and catching on the disc. I tried to prise it away...

My series 7 Tourer is coming up for 120,000 miles and I want to drain the coolant and replace with new. The manual says - "Only use genuine Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant type 2" (page 351), and on page 355 it says "The cooling system contains many aluminium components that can corrode if...

As a coda to the knocking sound from my 2005 Tourer - I had the car up on ramps and grubbed around under the car and hurt my left shoulder in the process! I decided to leave it to the garage I use for the MOT, and I'm glad I did. Talking with the mechanic he had a real struggle removing the...

Had the Tourer up on ramps and drowned both brackets and bolts with WD40, also had a look on the parts-honda.uk site to check on part numbers. I've bought the genuine Honda bushes - p/n 52315-SED-004, and I'm wondering if it's worth the extra effort to replace the brackets along with the bolts...

Reading through the comments and suggestions is very helpful as I have recently become aware of a mystery knocking sound coming from the rear of my 2005 Tourer. At first I thought it was the exhaust knocking, but it appears to be ok. I'll certainly check out the rear anti roll bar bushes and...
