    Driveshaft replacement

    The shafts have a retaining ring (circlip?) so just need to line up the splines and give it a good push , you'll know when you get it home. you may need to undo the lower arm as well to get the shaft out can't remember exactly.

    Driveshaft replacement

    will come out with some persuasion, you can gently pry on the edge but be careful not to damage the gearbox seal.

    Brake Bleeding - Mityvac

    no it'll just take a little longer, start nearest to abs pump and work around. It's easier if you can put the car on axle stands and have all four wheels off. That way you can do a couple passes if you like.

    Driveshaft replacement

    it's not hard to DIY, will need to remove hub nut, lower ball joint... You can then remove the shaft. You will need a balljoint remover or may get away with beating the lower attached arm with a heavy hammer.

    RUBBISH Fuel Consumption - 8th gen diesel auto tourer

    obviously Auto will rob you of some economy and is more affected by driving style if its a slush box. The 7gen will not do 50+ unless you sit at 55 flat road, no bends. I would say the 7th gen is more in the range of 40-45mpg. only reals way is too work out over actual tank fills.

    System error

    Diesels are not spark ignition. They do have glow plugs to pre heat the fuel on start up only. The glow plug indicator(orange coil) comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition on. I cant remember the system check but if it goes out when started that would suggest all is well and only a...

    Rear Arms.......?

    Honda also make one to correct uneven wear but the adjustment is still fixed. I would invest in the adjustable aftermarket sets.

    Strange sound effects

    Aah ok I missed the post where the OP says he's tried coasting. when I changed out the rear hub ***embly in my car there was no play, but it was loud but not like the op describes. I seen a good technique is to hold onto the shock spring and spin the wheel in the air any play or wear will be...

    Brake Bleeding - Mityvac

    Pads/disks also affect pedal feel, my car always had a soft pedal but firm under hard braking. it would sink some when stationary brakes applied. I've driven loads of accords and all feel the same to me. i also get alot of Accord owners complaining about pedal feel but the Accord has no...

    Brake Bleeding - Mityvac

    I always found the Accord to have a softer pedal. But you should try the two man method again with the one way bleeder and put some grease (red rubber grease if you have it )around the threads before cracking it off.

    Strange sound effects

    We need more info to narrow it doesn to a area, eg drivetrain, engine etc Does it do it on idle? Through all gears? Engine Hot or cold? Ac On/Off Does the noise change when driving on different road surfaces? (I think you rules tyres out already) It could be gearbox, aux belt or one of the...

    instrument panel/cluster light going on or off when going over bumps?

    I was going to recommend the switch cleaner but the control dial goes through the plastic screen and facing of the clocks, so you'll just be spraying into the clocks and make a mess. I may be wrong, this is from memory as don't own the car no more.

    Brake Bleeding - Mityvac

    I'm not sure if the mityvac works with Honda reservoirs. I've tried one man kits and never get good results. The best method I find is using a one man kit, but two man method, place some red rubber grease over the valve threads ensures air doesn't get drawn in. takes very little effort to get a...

    K20 series engines

    ^ agree at least its reliable and can be adjusted. The K20 is a solid but you have to remember a basic engine.

    head light bulbs

    get slim digital 55w ballasts but make sure they're quality kits as cheap slim kits are rubbish. Slims will also fit neatly in the light housing. We have a seller on the forum
