Sorry I forgot to mention my car is a 2004 model. In the ebay link I posted it states.... earlier style filter 2004-2006 (right on picture - 16901S6FE02), or the later 2006-2007 (left on picture - 16901RJLE01) So I need the one on the right. That ebay seller appears to be Holdcroft Honda also.

Thanks mate, that is a good price on the battery especially delivered. I like the idea of swapping them out to led bulbs, I may do that anyhow but not for the purpose of less current being drawn just as they look crisper and cleaner. Are they a festoon type bulb or a normal 5w sidelight type...

I wanted to replace the fuel filter in the accord (diesel). Ive noticed there are some bosch units available on ebay for around £30 and my local honda garage want £42 for it. I thought I remember reading somewhere that bosch units are the same as the honda units? I realise the cheaper filters...

The US stuff will be all the same for us but clearances may differ from engine to engine. I think as the clearances are so small they give you a from and to figure as a way of allowing for a small degree of measuring error. Aim for the middle and you wont go wrong. You may need a special valve...

Yeah I understand. Ive read the same bad stuff about them but I also heard the honda part is a bosch part and if you can get that from a motor factors then its all the same just a few quid cheaper. Can anyone confirm this is the case?

If you buy a feeler gauge it will most likely have one that fits into that range. If not you can use 2 feeler gauges on top of each other to get the required thickness. Most decent sets would have a 0.20 and a 0.25mm so yeah just go ahead and use them.

Yesterday this coil type logo came up on the dash and the car went into limp mode. I just restarted the car and it went away. Last evening I squeezed the bleed ball and disconnected the battery for a few mins and hooked up the HDS to look for any codes. I didnt see any relevant codes so my guess...

I cleaned it with a rag and a screwdriver and a blast of plusgas. In theory I dont see why a valve seat grinding tool wouldnt work or something similar if they are not the correct size and of course some grinding paste. Prehaps just a piece of wooden dowel and grinding paste or toothpaste if you...

Thanks Jamie. I'll giv eit another check just ot be sure. It seems silly they didnt add a little indicating led

No problem. I dont think there is a need for slide hammers or injector pullers if you spend sometime chipping away the carbon build up. I chipped then vacuumed the chips, then repeated about 10 or so times until the injector was visible like the other injectors. After that heat is the key as the...

I managed to get the injector out with not too much hassle. Time and heat was the key. If I get a moment i'll write up a how to guide with pics.... Basically chip away at the carbon (small screwdriver and small hammer) then vacuum it up using a straw attached to the vacuum. Once the majority of...

Heres my attempt on a cheap respray some years ago. I did this for a track car so the finish wasnt that important but it came out great I thought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdGwJai4_NI

Yeah I get what you mean. A see thru car bra would be great as thats where the majority of chips are on my car and everyone elses by the sounds of things.

I got my engine back from an engine builders and cant for the life of me find the knock sensor. Its not in the back of the block also so I need to get another. All the ones on ebay appear to be for the later models of prelude and accord. Anyone know where I can find one to fit the 92-96 h22a...

Brilliant thanks for confirming that. I reckon it will fix square enough to undo it but just wanted to be sure. Once ive undone them do I just work the clamp loose by a couple of mm then turn the engine on and give it a rev to loosen the injector? Do you think id get away with leaving the engine...

Thanks. I'll look into it when/if the weather gets warmer :) How does the accord indicate you have the aircon switched on? I cant see an LED or dash warning light which seems a bit strange. Can anyone with a working aircon tell me how you can tell its on or off?

How much does a whole car wrap cost these days? I like some of the carbon satin black wraps and if its cheaper than a full respray then I reckon more and more people will go down this route.

I managed to scrape off a load of the carbon tonight to reveal the tork bolt head and the sides of the clamp. Ive put some more coke on it using a pipette (maybe 10ml max) and will continue some more scraping tomorrow. Also I gaffa taped a mcdonalds straw to the vaccum cleaner and am hoping that...

Ok I tested the clutch and that worked fine and also tested the relay. The fuse also looks good, so im hoping it just needs regassing which im guessing is not something I can do at home? how much is a regas? Ive never had to get it done. I'll check the other things Brian mentioned in his thread...
