    Vtec not kicking in

    Basic servicing keeps any car healthy! Clean it all up and carry on servicing it every 10k with good quality oil and parts and it'll never happen again.

    Steering rack boot / gaitor

    I've changed all my front ball joints myself. It's relatively simple. Just lots of wd40, a hammer and a blow torch make all the parts come loose.

    Lower Ball Joints.

    I'm talking about the lower arms not the track rods. The lower arm don't come with ball joints. The lower joints are part of the hub. The lower arm is separate and the arm bolts to the joint.

    How Rotten is Your Impact Bar?!

    I did try this at the scrap yard. I removed a bar off of a civic coupe and offered it up to a 6th gen. Bolt holes line up but due to the size of it the bumper won't fit over the top.

    How Rotten is Your Impact Bar?!

    I had it on the ramps last week while having the tracking done and I asked the question about the MOT. He said as the bar isn't structural so it's not an MOT failure. He said if the Rot had started chasing down the chassis rails then it becomes an issue.

    How Rotten is Your Impact Bar?!

    Since owning my 6th Gen I've noticed that every time I shut the boot it sounded like something was collecting inside the bumper, like gravel or something. So a few weeks ago when I was fitting my Sportex Back Box I noticed what was causing the noise..... When I was underneath I looked up and...

    MPG Trouble

    I definitely agree with the oem parts for diesels! There's not a Ford or Vauxhall on the planet that will run properly with a patten fuel filter! With regards to the parts for the Accord. I replaced all service parts with ADL Blueprint parts. Inc. Dizzy cap, rotor arm, pollen filter, air...
