Thanks for all the information chaps. I took my car to a quiet stretch of road and tried some realistic breaking situations including emergency stops. Conclusion? I'll stick with what I have, they will do the job, and I'll have to remember how old I am when driving on those twisty tempting...

Hello , I'm on the point of buying type R font callipers for my tourer. On a recent driving holiday I came to the conclusion that the Accord brakes are not the best stoppers at anything over leisurely driving pace. Has anyone that has done this upgrade any advice as to whether or not it is worth...

It may help, Upon further diagnostic examination it seems the rear left wheel sensor is responsible for all the lights on the dash cmbs-vsa-abs steering angle and some I don't even recognise, so, if it happens to you, speed sensors may be responsible.

Hello, my Accord tourer has thrown up a CMBS fault "no target", can anyone help me to resolve this problem ? I have a friends garage with diagnostics available. Thanks chaps, Rod.

No there were no filings Fahad, I'll keep an ear on it !

For some time I have been aware of a whine coming from my gearbox when cruising, mainly 40mph upwards, mainly in the higher gears when for example on motorways. My feeling is that it will be diff bearings. Has anyone the same experience, and if so can perhaps advise me on action to take. Gearbox...

Thanks BJ, the seal I fitted is excellent, but should the need arise, I will use that dealer to obtain any parts that may need changing.

Trying to eliminate all leaks, it was apparent that my seal was flat as a witches *** and heaven knows what price a Honda replacement would be. Answer ? a van tailgate seal off Amazon,£44, job done.

Glad to help:)

Thanks for the reply Brett. The covers are difficult. On the front part, put a trim tool between roof and cover and bend down 'till plastic cover springs out, then a little furthur along do the same, you will see how the tabs fit. There is one tab on the top joining it to the middle rail, repeat...

How disappointing, after removing and sealing the roof rail tracks on my estate, I find that under the carpet is wet again, though not as bad. When I did the job I lifted the rear carpets and dried out the wet, then proceeded to play the hosepipe on the car starting at the bottom of the door and...

Yes Ned I have, I'm going to use my airline to blow down the sunroof drainage holes, it's all I can think of after checking everything, cheers.

over the past couple of months my tourer has developed what I can only describe as a damp smell. All the carpets are dry,boot floor is dry, cabin filter is new. I've tried all the sprays etc, now I do carry a large amount of fishing tackle 2 or 3 times a week, but it's only in for half hour...

My dips are xenon but not the main. I removed the fitting and the bulb and holder seem to be one. The car is 2008 tourer.

I was going to change my rather yellow(compared to dip beam) main beam bulbs, but looking at them,I am unfamiliar with this integral type bulb. Can anyone advise me on a suitable white replacement to match my main beams ? thanks, Rod.

You need one of those long spanners next time, makes the job a lot easier

For anyone considering having any tuning work done on their Accord, you can do no better than to contact Fahad, I speak from experience, and even if you have to travel you can be safe in the knowledge that you will have had the best possible hands on your car !!!

Just a quick update, heated up the dented area, applied a sucker and pulled until the plastic cooled. The dents have more or less gone. It could be a good tip for anyone with dented bumpers, apply the heat and maintain the original shape 'till the plastic cools. :)

Thanks stellamon, I figured it must be but I don't feel that bad about the dents enough to get into that. If it doesn't come out with heat I'll live with it:)

Thanks Fahad, no, interestingly there is what must be a strengthening plate inside along the bottom with little or no clearance between. The puzzle is, how the plastic can be dented. I'll let you know if and how I remove them, cheers Rod.
