The metal just clips onto the hinge I think, so I guess if some clips are worn it could come off.

As Josh says the only long term solution is bodywork, but you can get some stuff from Halfords to sort it out for a year or so. I'd probably wait until the summer for now, anything you try and paint on now wont dry properly and the salt will set if off rusting again. In the summer, wash the...

You'd have to clamp the brake hose and then disconnect it from the caliper to prevent loosing fluid and lots of air in the system. Are you sure you know what you're doing, dont mess with brakes, its everyones safety.

Quite a lot of caliper refurb companies around, like these guys http://www.biggred.co.uk/index.php Ask them for a quote The rubber seals have gone on the piston, letting water in, so its rusted and got sticky. Even if you free if off, it will rust again unless you change the caliper seals. It's...

BBA reman are quite well known also, they might be able to repair http://www.bba-reman.com/uk/index.aspx

Quite a few Accords being broken for parts on Ebay, so probably worth getting in touch with those breakers: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-HONDA-ACCORD-2-2-I-DTEC-EX-TOURER-DOOR-HINGE-BOLT-BREAKING-SPARES-/301362219540?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item462a968a14...

Wowser thats pricey, hope mine doesnt go. Is that Blade Honda in Gloucester? Its no.22 on the diagram £534+VAT, presumably under the centre console somewhere. Displayed for Honda Car: ACCORD TOURER - Year: 2009 - Doors: 5 - Transmission: 5AT - Spec: 2.0 ES-GT Display Larger Image Ref...

Glad you got it sorted. Bad to hear another iDtec with major issues that Honda cant fix. Beware used cars buyers, as I expect that car will be back on sale at some point.

Different autobox in the diesel model to my petrol engine. Both are 5 speed with paddle shift and sport mode. No problems with mine, its smooth, and you can always use the paddles if you want to change gear, so best of both worlds. Mine 2008 with 75k miles, just due the fluid change, £75 at a...

So probably is a loose cable or bad connection.

Try popping the details in webuyanycar or similar Dave, for a trade price. Depends on condition and service history, my gut feeling would be between £5k -£6k. ES is fairly low spec, GT is better.

One free check you can do.... most cars have cables and connectors under the front seats for the side airbags in the seats. Have a look under with a torch and check the cables are intact and the connectors tight, one may have got knocked out or broken.

Call Holdcroft Honda and ask for club discount, mine was £190 in primer, I sprayed it myself, although I expect a bodyshop would do it for less than £100.

Waxoyl is a cheap DIY method, can be painted or sprayed on. Think some garages offer the service also, pressure wash and then spray it on for taxis etc. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCmd?srch=waxoyl&action=search&storeId=10001&catalogId=10151&langId=-1

Yep the plastic lens prises out of the housing, use a screwdriver covered with a cloth.

Presumably if the DPF is just removed and the map not changed, the ECU will keep wasting fuel trying to do a regen every so often. This would make your MPG rubbish.

Have you tried Blade Honda? They may be interested as the mileage is sensible and its a diesel. When I sold my last car they quoted me a good price for outright sale. http://www.bladegroup.co.uk/blade-buy-any-car/

Hi Bob, Its all explained in the handbook. Just get a small flat blade screw driver a clean cloth, cover the end and gently prise it out. Its just the clear lens that comes out not the whole housing from the roof. Are you talking about the 2 map lights by the rear view mirror or the central...

December is a bad time, hold out now until Jan. Price seems reasonable for the mileage which isnt high for a diesel.

Think its 75k miles or 6 years which ever comes first. Its on the Honda service schedule at £75. Mine is due soon, I'm on 74500 miles, so will be booking in soon.
