    Starting issues...

    Have noticed a slighty rough idle, not a dip & very very slight. You know where you can just feel the engine through the gear stick when sat at lights. Only just & not always, this car is usually so smooth & quiet. Will change sparks asap...

    Starting issues...

    Have been having a couple of issues with starting the car, had battery checked and then changed the battery but fault still there. It looks like the accessory belt is a little frayed... Could this be causing the issue? When I filled up the washer bottle today the wind blew a load over the...

    Knocking noise

    Was the passenger side nearer the back, wish I had had a drink and re-read your post. The garage charged me and out at £35 plus VAT £42 as they said they took ages to drill out as my drill bit that snapped was stuck in there! Didn't have a nut that fitted anyway. Had a right go at the garage...

    Options for calipers?

    I have had both my tourer rear calipers changed and for nowhere near that cost, one at Honda in Grantham and the other at a Jap car specialist, both used blue print ones, they are refurbed ones I think as you get the better price but have to leave them your old ones, both Honda and the other...

    cheers for all the great advise. She's just had the timing belt done and an oil change, think we need to do the rear brakes, discs and pads, is this an easy job? I know on my own gen7 the rear callipers just swing up for the pads and were a 10 minute job...

    Cam chain on 2003 2.4 type s

    I ha d a Civic VTi (B18) before my Type S tourer and have an MR2 too, even though on paper the Accord is faster it doesn't feel it, I think down to the refinement, quietness and high vtec as mentioned. Still no slouch though and although a bit slow off the line it's good at going if you drop a...

    Had a look just lying on the drive today and can see where they are, easy access as you said, visually they look ok but think i'll change these first before going the droplink replacement route.

    Forgot to say, spare wheel nut in place (well snapped off now as was rusted so bad when I undid it to take the spare out it sheared), will check all the seals in day light and get some silicon on them, works a treat on the MR2 tbar seals to rejuvenate. Cheers again...
