Be careful with this line of reasoning. The reason the master control is on the "passenger" side in the UK cars could be because that is the drivers side for 95% of Hondas world wide, and therefore the "base" model. For the UK/Japan/AU/SA models they just added a remote circuit for the "master"...

Honda ***igns different part numbers to identical parts when they go into a different model. You can usually find out cross-compatibility by looking at compatibility specs via 3rd party vendors. Think about it from the designer's perspective - every time they insist on a custom part the cost...

What an absolute mindf*ck. Channel Hopper's explanation might well be right. BTA can you test this: when you engage Cruise Control and increase the speed by 10 increments, does your speed go up 10Kmh or 16Kmh? The base file used for an ECU reflash is a copy of your ECU software. Someone with...

Sorry to hear you are having such a ****ty experience with it. No shame in pulling the plug when you are just not set up to take it further.

BTW MS only removed the ability to open IE directly. You can restore that function so you don't have to go through Edge. But whatever works, works. Instructions here.

New user BTA alerted me to the following workaround to get IE working again on W10 & W11. This procedure adds a desktop (or other) link for IE just like it used to be. Another alternative is to find an old XP / 7/ 8/ etc. laptop to run the manual(s), and run it offline only. Or use a VM...

When you say it does not start, does the dash light up etc. but the starter refuses to turn over? To rule out anything basic, check and re-seat all related fuses, relays and fusible links. Next suspect would be earth points to the engine block. Does anything improve if you put a jumper lead...

I usually use the air conditioning to clear windows. But the moldings in my 06 Accord don't squeegee the windows. My 90's accord didn't either. When the air conditioning in that car broke, I carried a microfiber cloth in the door basket to wipe the windows.

Remanufacturing a DMF does not seem to be a thing even though the rubbers and springs don't look impossible to replace. Sure, contact surfaces might need to be honed, but with so many cars having DMFs, it is something I thought would have sprung up as a service.

Regarding the bolts, use an impact driver as your first tool, not after a spanner or wrench has not worked.

Just asking, When the new calipers were installed, did they re-use the old pins? A "new" caliper often means the cylinder and housing side only. The pad retainer pins wear to a flat area and stop the pads from returning properly. It helps to lube them as well. If that is not it, check the...

Earth could also be a problem here - and an easy fix if it is that. To diagnose an earth problem you can connect a jumper lead from the negative battery terminal to the engine block for a drive. Just make sure it is clamped on very securely. It doesn't hurt to clean all the earth terminals on...

You should be able to take the arm off the old wiper at the hinge and fit it on to the bolty bit. Or shorten the arm, with some ingenuity, harsh language, and medium level violence. I bought new washer jets on Aliexpress, then found one of the plastic joiny bits in the line was...

Many charging problems reported here turned out to be the battery that people swore was in good condition. Borrow a battery from another car for a day to rule it out.

Solved it. All it was was dust on the inside of the belt. The car had been near a minor dust storm whipped up by a leaf blower. The underside tray is missing on my car so dust blew up into the engine bay from underneath. I'm not a great fan of lubing the inside contact area of a multi-V belt...

Sorted.

I do not know this for sure, but you might find that other Hondas of the same vintage use the same barrel. So you might be able to find a set from e.g. a Civic.

This is what the manual shows. Sorry I have forgotten is there is a way to do this with thumbnails. Mods feel free to edit.

A few days ago I noticed a new noise. A rythmic / phasal squeal most likely emerging from one of the pulleys on the serpentine belt. At idle, it phases from low to high volume at 15 to 20 seconds intervals. At higher RPM the phasing is faster however the pitch of the squeal doesn't rise. You...

Just as a general comment, the Diesel combustion cycle is more efficient running hot, but that is not practical given the metals and lubricants necessary to create a contemporary working diesel engine. I think it was some time in the 1990s that I read about experiments running a fully ceramic...
