    Tourer Boot Locking

    And...... Disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes has fixed it, for now.

    Tourer Boot Locking

    Thanks I had a similar fix a couple of years back (when I clipped one size of the boot door on a car park bollard). The nearside rear window also fixed itself after disconnecting the battery for ten minutes, but not this time.

    What Engine Oil?

    No idea about shampoos at all. I use the rated oil and try to replace the filter at every change. On this forum there have been many posts relating to a noise from the oil pump chain that usually signifies a lack of maintenance at some point and a quick death afterwards. If it's not rattling...

    Tourer Boot Locking

    Symptoms, boot does not unlock with the outer handle or the keyfob (only the manual catch inside, which is a real pain to get to when loaded up). On closing the boot catch does not do the 'pull in' and I have to push the door in manually before I can lock/deadlock with the remote. Basically...

    What Engine Oil?

    Depending on the annual mileage and type of journeys (commute or motorway) you might consider changing the oil and filter more frequently. Additionally a flush of the sump area might also be useful to clear out old contaminants.

    Tourer Boot Locking

    I'm hoping it is not a failure of the wiring loom but before I start looking around the hinge point, is there a particula fuse in the system that deals with the motor and boot catch mechanism ? I've looked through the glove compartment booklet but cannot find anything. If there isn't one which...

    N22A1 weird sound

    If the belt is beginning to play up it could be anything that runs off it or near it, including the idlers. I would get that sorted first, then listen for other noises. I replaced my alternator a few months back and the engine compartment got a lot quieter as a result.

    2.2 iDTEC (150) tuning potential

    You could go down the slimming route which would improve handling at the same time as helping stright line stuff. There was a thread on this a few years back.

    Good 2nd hand Source of Honda Accord 7th Gen parts? Breakers Yards?

    Somebody (not a million miles from here) has posted a video previously which shows the filling of the perished rubber voids with flexiseal. Apparently it works a treat. Window-weld is an option but not as good

    Finally Bitten the Bullet - Replacement Throttle Position Sensor inbound

    I have given the clutch an easy life since I have owned her, so not the latter.

    Finally Bitten the Bullet - Replacement Throttle Position Sensor inbound

    And the autopsy , the interior tracks are worn with one particular balding spot where the ECU determines something has gone wrong. All in all about 40 minutes work.

    Finally Bitten the Bullet - Replacement Throttle Position Sensor inbound

    All done, easier than expected. The original bolts are best loosened with a small set of molegrips as drilling out would be a pain. The tourer feels smoother and cruise control operation is back, no limp mode during a sixty mile trip on Thursday, or since.

    Starting Problems

    Apart from a dead cell in the battery, you can trace the fault back to a dodgy connection somewhere.

    The Servisol 10 electrical spray no longer provides more than a few days respite so a cheap TPS is on its way. I will take pictures of the fitting and the old one's condition once in place.

    2.2 i-CTDi oil

    Can you explain the 'sooty' engine claim ? From what I was supplied by the local Honda dealer a few years back the i-ctdi was one of the best emission powerplants of the 2000s, easily meeting Euro4 , and if maintained with modern fluids, 715/2007, (or Euro 5).
