    Random brake lights

    Check and clean the earth connections for the affected brake lights (including on any ***ociated relays), I have had weird light combinations happen on other cars, especially when light clusters share common, single earth leads. IDK how the tailgate earths work, but if they rely on leads...

    Swapping out diesel navigation unit for regular head unit

    I would be very careful with this. The AC and heating work differently on the diesel and petrol models. On the slow warming diesel, the AC ***ists heating with a condenser bypass circuit. This stops refrigerant exiting the compressor from losing its heat to outside airflow and dumps it into...

    Passenger's Front side light removal - Best way to remove/replace?

    I've managed to get my hand in there to change the bulb a couple of times (those cheap LED's just aren't worth it..) without removing the battery. Have to twist it out it by feel though. It's easier now it's been loose a couple of times, but I hate that there are 2 almost identical feeling...

    Valve Stem Seals

    Are you using the workshop manual for the iDTEC engine? The camshaft removal procedure should be in there. Perhaps one of the cam drivewheels has to come off (guessing). https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/accord-viii-service-manual-workshop-manual-esm-on-windows-11.26630/

    Valve Stem Seals

    I have not done this on a diesel, but on one of my petrol motors I inserted a length of clean rope into the cylinder via the spark plug hole, in order to press the valves into the valve seats at near TDC. The alternative I read was using compressed air, again via the spark plug hole. You could...

    What is this pipe? (looks like it's about to fail if it hasn't already).

    Do you have an automatic transmission? Could be the ATF cooling line.

    A/C evaporator

    The part may not be unique to the 2000 1.8 Accord. It may have been the same as the Civic from that time, epecially if it has the same engine. Have a look at US part suppliers for what looks like an equivalent car on that market. Honda shared lots of parts across models and time, but they...

    Mk7 2.2 Tourer no start. Fixed ( leaking heater matrix )

    The heater matrix is the first part of any car that gets put on the ***embly line. The rest of the car is then ***embled around that. Anyone who has ever replaced a heater matrix knows this to be true. I did it once, but on a Toyota. No garage would take the job but they quote a full day...

    Air continuously getting in brake line

    It could be that fully extended under pressure the system seals OK, but in a retracted state the seal is sitting on a corroded / pitted area of the piston and letting in some air. The way to test that would be to remove the dust seal and and insert a spacer to limit piston travel. Then...
