No probs matey. Hope it all goes well :)

I found removing the entire shock made the job less fiddly. I think also from memory the trick is to do the top 2 wishbone bolts up then replace the strut then do the ball joint up. I struggled on one side because I tried to fit the shock back after tightening the ball joint. I ended up undoing...

It took me a couple hours to complete as I just kept undoing nuts n bolts until it was free but I really believe its changed the way the car feels to drive. Pick up seems smoother it would be nice if a difference was made to mpg but still early days yet. After doing the job I primed the bulb...

Sorry, not to worry. I just found a couple of links http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/118-diy-full-engine-service-on-the-pre-facelift-i-ctdi-accord/ http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/8402-diy-7th-gen-pre-facelift-diesel-fuel-filter-change/

Fuel filter arrived today :) Its a bosch one made in spain it says. I thought all bosch stuff would be german but oh well. Can anyone point me in the direction of a how to guide for fitting it? Thanks

Thankyou for the replies Salim and Wookie. I did bleed the clutch with the help from a friend. The noise went away when driving around today but im still getting a vibration through the pedal now and then especially in 1st and 2nd in traffic type conditions. I put cruise control on and...

I performed a clutch test by starting the car in 3rd and then tried again in 2nd and the car stalled showing the clutch as ok. I think its the flywheel but then im tunnel visioned on DMF paranoia recently lol I also bled the clutch fluid and that made no change. I guess it could be the timing...

I found the bleed nipple and bled the clutch. I still have a strange rattle coming from the car though. My other thread is here with more info.... http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/19278-flywheel-rattle/

Thanks Honda guy. I wouldnt of thought theyd purposely hide it but I asked the question before going to have a look.

Thanks very much VamPo. Thats a big file there, do I burn the image to a CD, like an ISO?

Im lookng to bleed the accord clutch. Can anyone tell me where the clutch bleed nipple is? Im guessing a car of this age would have a hydraulic clutch. Thanks

Its making a chattering/rattling noise on idle which dissapears when I put the car in gear and drive. The clutch doesnt slip or anything but it definitely feels transmission related. It did this on a 30mile drive the other day. I took it for a drive yesterday and the noise has vanished somewhat...

Thanks for the reply Paul. Sometimes the manuals have a troubleshooting guide. I was wanting to see if theres anything about trouble shooting the clutch/flywheel on a 2.2 cdti. From memory its almost like a flowchart that i've seen in other honda manuals. If I can diagnose the problem as the...

Thanks for the reply Adam. I was about to start stripping the car down to get the gearbox off today but took it for a drive beforehand and low and behold the noise has gone which seems very odd. The clutch pedal has felt notchy before and occasionally I feel a ping or knock through the clutch...

Im on the hunt for a workshop manual that covers the accord diesel engine, 2003-2008. Does anyone know where I can download one? I cant seem to see them on ebay either. Thanks

Hi guys, Yesterday the car started making a rattle noise when I dip the clutch and car is on idle. It seems transmission relation so im guessing its the flywheel. What im wondering is.... Can I change it without taking out the engine? Do I just remove the gearbox? Also is it cheaper and just...

Ive seen this clutch and flywheel combo. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-ACCORD-2-2-CTDi-DIESEL-GENUINE-LUK-CLUTCH-KIT-LUK-DUAL-MASS-FLYWHEEL-03-08-/160876649183?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2574fedadf Im guessing LUK are the ones to go for. If anyone can point me in the direction of the...

I bought the car about 3 months ago and all has been well apart from a few fiddly bits to get it through the mot. Anyhow today it starts making a rattling noise everytime I dipped the clutch pedal. I had heard about flywheels being a common problem on the diesel engines and it had had its clutch...

Brilliant. Thanks very much for confirming that. Im going to order one today.

Thanks thats even better than the price I found. So just to confirm this is the same as the honda part and wont cause me any running issues?
