    Headlight bulbs blowing - 55 plate iCTDI

    The usual cause is moisture, any misting in your headlamps? if so do a search as the best way to sort it is silica gel, there's a write up on here somewhere on the DIY section. However after market hid fitting leaves more possible ways for moisture to get in due to bad seals in the rear caps...

    hesitent acceleration and poor mpg

    I also had mild hesitation earlier this year and the fuel filter was replaced with a genuine one in august 2010, at the time I thought the issue was sticking rear calliper which when fixed improved mpg and hesitation but as part of my annual service regiment I have treated the car to a course of...

    Both ARB Bushes and Droplinks are cheap to replace and worth checking.

    New Tyres 225/45 17

    Had a Similar knocking sound myself, which became more obvious as my tyres dropped to lower tread depths, turned out to be ARB Bushes in the rear. I Changed my tyres (prevailing wisdom for 225/45/17, here is Falken F452's or Michelin's) I went for Toyo Proxes T1-R so far i'm impressed. Also...

    7th gen 04 Saloon rear brake seizing issue (query)

    I'm not really sure if its an issue as eight years and 120+k before the rear brake lines start to degrade is not bad especially as I have no idea if Honda would have replaced the the brake lines under regular services (I've been doing all the maintenance work myself and with the help of my local...

    7th gen 04 Saloon rear brake seizing issue (query)

    Cheers for the reply, I think your right, eight years is nothing to be sniffed at, My brother's are bikers and keep going on about braided hoses, etc. but I don't do track days and have kept my Accord stock so up-rating for little return for either durability / performance or aesthetic gains...

    7th gen 04 Saloon rear brake seizing issue (query)

    On a more diagnostic note, I had thought I was initially experiencing the hesitation problem reported for egr issues, as she felt sluggish and as if she was being held back (which of course with rear left caliper engaged is exactly why she felt like this). I even purchased some BG244, before I...

    7th gen 04 Saloon rear brake seizing issue (query)

    I had the issue with my rear Brake caliper's last year and had to replace my discs after warping due to siezing. I looked at a number of the rear caliper threads on the forum (most are tourer related) Earlier this year (coincidentially during the Hot spell in march) My rear Drivers side...

    Basic CDTI De-badge mod

    Yes I spent a bit of time admiring your handy-work previously mate (love your work), later down the road I may follow your example with the remaining chrome badges and trims, as I really don't like the chrome on the Accords.

    Basic CDTI De-badge mod

    Ah to move up from 4 cylinders to the hallowed Lumps, where I work there is an Audi A5 3.0 TDI V6, a BMW 535d v6, & a Jag XF Diesel S V6. I Wish Honda had not abandoned R&D in weasel in favour of full commitment to hybrids as I would have loved to see larger weasel engined Accords in the future.

    Basic CDTI De-badge mod

    keyword is "FOLLOWERS" Lol, although I do think that unless you have a genuine badge such as "R", "M", "GTR" "S-type" etc etc, who really cares what trim level or engine you have. Plus I've seen all manor of lesser weasels pretending to be all sorts of petrols over the years (anonymity is one...

    xcarlink install, with bluetooth

    Great Write up Paul, like the hands free mic location I may have to adjust mine as ts currently in the seam of the dash and i don't thinks its ideally placed.

    7th Gen Spoiler Recommendation?

    Yes I can see your concern here, I fitted rear led's in all rear lights (no spoiler) and it caused all sorts of electrical gremlins on my Pre-Facelift i-cdti I eventually went back to standard bulbs as I was fed up resetting the car after glow plug lights and warning lamps came on...

    Basic CDTI De-badge mod

    Thanks to all the forum members who gave details previously of this mod, mine is the same but with some added pics so that DIY newbies (like Myself feel) more confident at having a go I've been meaning to do this for a while as a I prefer the cleaner look which is now standard on most cars or a...

    A-SPEC - SPORT SUSPENSION

    The A-spec is the next big Upgrade on my list, a number of forum members have fitted this kit, take a look at Faddy's accord he has plenty of photos. My understanding of the kit is that on our cdti's you get enough lowering to keep the car practical and aesthetically pleasing with Oem parts...

    delimma to upgrade

    Also I think the contrast between your paint color and your current rims is why your car looks so good now and Blades are darker and would blend in more, but that's down to my own preference.

    delimma to upgrade

    Pentas, if only they came in 18" they be perfect. Your current Pentas look great, but I get why you want the larger rims I have the same issue with my epsilons. However the Blades strike me as less impressive. I've always thought they look less distinctive than some of the other Honda rims...
