    How much gear oil in my 2007 Ctdi 6 speed gearbox

    I would use the proper Honda MTF stuff and get it from HH You will need just over 2 litres, about £22ish for 3 1L bottles from HH if I remember rightly.

    steering pull and wobble

    My previous Accord used to pulse the steering on roundabouts and you could feel it pulling the wrong way, changing the power steering fluid fixed it for me. Hope yours is an easy fix

    No fog lights work front or rear

    I'm pretty sure the front ones have a relay up behind the front bumper, but yes check fuses and bulbs too

    No disc message on Sat Nav welcome screen

    Just for clarification, the sat nav disk goes in the DVD drive at the bottom of the center console behind the little flap, not in the main headunit. It shouldn't normally need to be removed at all.

    Drivers vent always hot

    I'm pretty sure the drivers side sensor is just under the clocks to the left of the steering column. You can see a small slatted vent and it should be behind there.

    2 Day Battery Drain on Honda Accord 2007 mk7 2.2CDTI

    Very unusual for it to be fine for a while and then suddenly fail again. The hft/Bluetooth module is the usual culprit on the accord. And alternator can fail, they have a diode pack also called a rectifier and when they fail the battery can discharge through the alternator when the ignition is...

    Quoted £220 for a service

    You've tried the fuel filter yourself before but that is one of the more fiddly bits for a novice and you have now worked out it doesn't need doing this time. Air filter will take 10 minutes max. Open the bonnet and undo 4 screws with either a screwdriver or an 8mm socket and ratchet. Remove...

    Quoted £220 for a service

    I'm guessing this is for a diesel? Fuel filter is about every 3rd service I think. You could do the service yourself and save a fortune at those prices

    Detachable towbar pictures

    I think how much of the towbar that is visible when removed depends a lot on the type of removable towbar you have. If you go for a vertical one I would think you would see less of it. The PF Jones website is good for towbars

    Bulbs. Dipbeam is H1. Mainbeam has H7 bulb in it.

    The top of the washer bottle unbolts to give you more room.

    Removing rear window interior side trims on Gen 7 facelift

    Before you pull it to bits, have you traveled a reasonable distance from home to see if it bursts in to life? My reason for asking is I have noticed mine going red over part of my journey but it is repeatable in the same area so I am guessing there is a problem with transmitters in that area.

    I think he means it had been parked up for 3 hours after driving

    Lowering...

    That looks good. Be aware that the tourer has a bit less choice as some manufacturers have stopped selling springs for it

    Removing diesel fuel injectors

    Sounds like an expensive and risky way to get rid of a bit of black smoke. How bad is the smoke? I would definitely start with a good service and a fresh air filter first. Perhaps consider cleaning the egr valve and inlet manifold too. Has the engine been remapped or does it have any kind of...

    should it be this good?

    It is quite hard to get your head around the changes when you are new to the Accord. Launched in 2003 and the diesel tourer was available from then. Facelift came in 2006. Easy changes to spot, 5 speed on prefacelift and 6 speed on facelift. Chrome strip on front edge of bonnet on early cars...
