One other thing I'd change the box oil for the proper Honda stuff and then for peace of mind you'll know its got the right stuff in and the right amount as if they've had shaft out it will have lost some oil and you can't be sure they will have put the right stuff back in.

It was a silver 08 tourer but it was a sport gt so it wasn't yours. I ***ume you've not had to pay anything towards these repairs?

Deffo change the engine oil and filter just for peace of mind! If you don't mind me asking where did you buy it from? I test drove one at the Car Show in Doncaster before I bought mine it was well over priced and they were really pushy i had a right job getting out of there! I'd deffo mention...

Did you take it back to who you bought it from then for the work to be done? I'd be making a phone call to the MD or someone important and asking many questions and telling them that your hubby is mechanicly minded etc and has checked the car out and you dont think the work has been done. Has...

Sounds good I emailed the people in the states and all that box of theirs does is simulate the key being held in the correct position to activate the total closure.

Wow remind me never to try it on with any CRV's around the Leeds area lol. Looking forward to hearing what figures its pushing out.

What we need to find out is what the KP Tech module does is it just mimicking the holding the key in a certain position for a set time which activates the window closure on the tsx or is it actually closing the windows itself, maybe an email to KP Tech is needed?

This makes some interesting reading.... http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=596643 especially the post on the 1st page that reads The instructions that came with the module is for the 7th Gen Honda Accord http://www.kptechnologies.com/products.php#/17

Now wouldnt it be nice if you could just get the TSX module and plug it in.... one can only dream I suppose. I miss total closure used to have it on a Clifford Alarm with Intelistart and Turbo timer.

Is it where the sat nav equipped vehicles have the DVD drive?

Saloon or tourer? Tourer has a wooden boot floor that lifts up.

Yeah I did that before getting a tool made, getting the belt off is easy, I found its getting it back on that's hardest. I'd ring Holdcroft and mention typeaccord and see what price they come up with I know they are a lot cheaper than using my local dealer with the TA discount plus free next day...

Get a price for just replacing the alternator pulley (price from Honda and then price for fitting by the alternator bloke unless you wanna do it yourself as per the diy on here) then price up recon & new alternator and go from there.

If I stop on a hill put the handbrake on and then take foot break off the car does move slightly and I mean slightly as if the shoes move then they lock, always thought it was a bit strange but cudnt see anything wrong when I changed discs.

Interesting as if there is not sufficient pressure in the a/c system then the clutch on the a/c compressor won't kick in so as far as I know it won't put any extra load on the belt, unless of course there is just enough gas in there. Your right its never easy mate, make sure you get a good look...

As far as I am aware you need to replace the pulley as that has the clutch in it. It is just simply getting a spanner on the bolt that holds the tensioner pulley on and pulling it towards you that releases the tension and you can remove the belt. However its getting in with something, look at...

I used a swan neck spanner and a piece of tube over it to get the leverage (until I got a proper tool made to do the job). Its too tight to get in with a socket and breaker bar unless you take the engine mount off which is a pain! I think you'll have to remove the alternator and take it to the...

I just undid bleed nipple and let it gravity feed through till new fluid flowed into the bleeding kit container, needed someone to operate the peddle though once I had fresh fluid coming thru. Its the same as bleeding the brakes mate.
