    engine radiator upgrade for iCTDI diesel Accord ?

    Yet the radiator core for the diesel is 10mm (26mm) deeper than the petrol engine radiator (16mm) My guess was that is to cool the turbo. The later V6 models also run a 26mm core. Hunting down part numbers I haven't (yet) found an non-diesel Honda that also uses the iCTDI radiator. It seems...

    Service Manual Woes

    The first version I had sandboxed IE inside a Win XP VM. But it would only scale to XVGA, which was annoying. The extracted files run fine on IE/W10.

    E10 vs E5/Super petrol fuel economy

    E10 has been sold here for decades and is the most popular fuel for most. We've never had E5, even though all petrol has a small amount of added alcohol to soak up and transport water through the fuel delivery and ultimately the combustion process so water will not build up in fuel systems...

    Honda Navigation Haxoring

    I can't see this discussed anywhere here. It is an older project but some interesting angles to it. Especially if this sort of thing overlaps with your field or interests. For example, it explains why a standard burned DVD does not work in the nav unit...

    Blowing Headlight Bulbs

    I've bought brands and no brands. I now just buy no brands in bulk from aliexpress. Friends have tried LED's, none of which were good enough throw a decent beam, but then again none forked out for "brandname" bulbs. (I'm not going to be the first either). The solution is aftermarket HID...

    Front driver side water leak

    I ended up with a rust problem in my old Accord because a windscreen fitter had at some stage blocked the drainage channel behind the side trim of the windscreen. The car was designed to drain any water that ended up behind the trim via the roof rails, and big blobs of silicone had blocked this...

    Rear Fog Light on all the time

    Something might be earthing through the rear fog light or rear fog light relay? I'd start with checking the earth on the rear light cluster that holds the fog light. Then perhaps remove the tail light(s) (bulbs) in there and see when the fog light does and does not light up. Or see if the...

    No they won't. I thought you were just after the actual switch. There is only a single switch on that side isn't there?
