    Honda Accord pre facelift replacement

    The way I see it is that used diesels are gonna become cheaper to buy, and there are dpf off solutions out tgere too. The 8th gen tourer's a beautiful looking wagon too, I just can't justify changing cars when i only drove mine 3 times a month these days. I almost don't even need one at all.

    BC Coilovers Query - What preload and height do you have?

    Of course, im not doubting that. The bush is fine on my car, would just need destroying to get the seized bolt out.

    Honda Accord Tourer 2.2 CTDI 2004

    Hahaha. Tell me about it. My car gets used like a van so often, they're always MIA.

    BC Coilovers Query - What preload and height do you have?

    It can be done without. I removed the lower arm on one side, but didn't bother on the other because I'd have needed to cut it off and replace it due to a seized bolt. Spring compresses with old tie downs, pull it out the hole, and new one fitted the same way.

    DIY - Replace bad/cracked manifold on 2.2 i-ctdi Accord 2007

    Yeah, it'd bleed past the bearing in the turbo cartridge.

    DIY - Replace bad/cracked manifold on 2.2 i-ctdi Accord 2007

    If you had it in the wrong way round it'd have trouble draining when you park it up. If you start it up and it smokes like a chimney, that's your problem.

    Honda Accord Tourer 2.2 CTDI 2004

    Looks good. Congratulations on the twins. The tourer's great for carrying the kids and all the stuff you inevitably need to carry.

    Don't poke the MOT tester with a stick. Get your ticket and keep your head down.

    VSA Warning light

    When I made enquiries last year I was looking at £300+ and when you to.the research, all the firms that repair them have the most appalling customer service records. As proved by one to sell me items they didn't have, and another not being able to give lead times. Neither were any good at...

    Wheel Sensors - My Experience of drilling out.

    Whatever way it goes, I'm not throwing hundreds of pounds at fixing a nanny function that's unnecessary in my cheap old car that I use three times a month.

    Wheel Sensors - My Experience of drilling out.

    I have to admit, if it got to the point they were clicking the button, I'd remove the button and fit another switch blank. No button to press, no light to look for.

    Wheel Sensors - My Experience of drilling out.

    That little 8mm headed m6 bolt that holds the washer neck undoes as you say, and you can pull the whole filler neck out. Beyond that, the next step's headlamp out, which is surprisingly easy and approx a 5 minute job.

    What other cars have people got/had

    Between that CR500, a 570 Husky, and a 625 Ktm (supercomp i ***ume) im almost starting to believe the Toothless bit.

    What other cars have people got/had

    The two CR500 supermoto's I've ridden had to go back to their owners within minutes. Reckon they both must've had such bad crank/piston setups because they vibed so hard my knuckles hurt. The ones I've ridden on the dirt made far better sense. Series 2 109" is about as proper as a landrover...

    Wheel Sensors - My Experience of drilling out.

    Oh, I didn't go that far. Satin finish Black tape on a satin black background under a black tinted cover. You can't see it. Only taped up the VSA light too. I know it has no traction control. I'd like to know if there's an ABS fault though, which is why that's still visible. In the MOT...

    Just has a load of prongs that clip into the main instrument panel (if you mean the tinted cover?)

    Wheel Sensors - My Experience of drilling out.

    My ABS light shows. Maybe the fact that that can be seen means that they never go hunting for others?
