    Thinking of puting my 7th gen HIDS in

    Ok that clears it up a lot better thanks. So the testing directive says the devices have to be fitted and working, and the inspection states how to test if they are fitted. Well i'll see what happens come May when my MOT is due, but based on this I can see me failing the MOT as my mechanic...

    Thinking of puting my 7th gen HIDS in

    In the original rule quoted the wording of devices 'fitted' implies devices 'already fitted'. Plus in the Manual you linked to it does state Quote: Vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) or LED dipped beam headlamps may be fitted with headlamp washers and a suspension or...

    Thinking of puting my 7th gen HIDS in

    The guidelines as previously quoted state "check the operation OF ANY headlamp levelling and cleaning devices FITTED". And reason for rejection "A headlamp levelling or cleaning device inoperative or otherwise obviously defective. Therefore if the levelling and cleaning devices are fitted they...

    convert to solid flywheel?

    It would be very interesting for someone to fit the single mass flywheel (SMF) to see if there is a noticeable increase in vibration through pick up. Notably a comparison between the juddering experienced by members from having the CG paddle clutch fitted and the increased vibration from the...

    Water in rear pass. footwell

    You shouldn't need to remove the carpet in all honesty, it sounds like the leak is so big finding it shouldn't be a issue. The plastic trim round the carpet comes off by lifting it upwards it's held on by the same type of clips which hold the door cards on. The centre pillar trim is held on by...

    Water in rear pass. footwell

    I'd try pulling the plastic trim off round the carpet and up the centre and rear pillar, they only clip on, to see if you can see where the water is running down. Failing that I'd go one stage further, it's extreme but considering how bad the problem is, I would lift the carpet in the rear to...

    CN1 intake air sensor

    On the N22A the 1st IAT sensor is incorporated with the MAF Sensor and the 2nd IAT Sensor is incorporated with the MAP Sensor. The K20A6 engine has a separate IAT which it looks like this is for. It's not situated anywhere, however it is located on the air intake pipe before the butterfly valve...

    Replacement gearbox oil - £100?

    £100 Seriously!! I think he's trying to have a laugh! Speak to HH they should be able to supply 3 litres for £25-£30 with free next day delivery. Your gearbox takes 2.2 litres by the way. But if I were you i'd do it myself it's a very easy job, it won't take an hour. There's a DIY on here to...

    Best replacement clutch for Honda Accord (2007) 2.2l Diesel Tourer ?

    They kept that quiet. :lol: Ok I'm going to ask a newbie question as I've never had to have dealings with clutches before so know nothing about them. But, what is a paddle clutch and how is it better and different to a standard clutch??

    Security

    If someone has the car keys the cars security is irrelevant, unless your cars security involves a retinal scan! Unfortunately that's the way car crime is going these days, it's easier to break in to your house and nick the car keys than it is to try and break into the car and get round the cars...

    Miles per Gallon?

    If you're tailing the car in front you leave yourself no time to react to changing speeds therefore when you do react you will have to brake harder, so you don't hit the car in front, then accelerate harder, to catch it up again. Keeping a 2 second gap to the car in front of you is far better...

    Miles per Gallon?

    According to my calculations that means you're roughly getting 40 mpg!? I recently did a round trip (290 miles) mostly motorway (60-80mph) with a little urban, and without trying to drive economically I still got 50 mpg. I would say your mpg is lower than could be expected. I doubt changing...

    Black oil!

    Also make sure its not over filled, this can do just as much damage in these engines as under filling it.

    Vibration for first few miles

    Hi Alex, I'm from Peterborough and I find the Marshall franchise to be distinctly average. They are by no means dodgy or have bad practices, more uninterested and do what they have to. So your experience of them does not sound surprising. Saying that the lads at the parts counter are...

    Wheel Arch Clips

    It depends which clip you want to replace there are a couple of different types even though they are very similar. Item 22 is the part they're quoting as replacement clips in the ebay add. But I can't confirm the measurements though. diagram Personally i would get the oil filter cup tool. Then...

    can you buy...........................

    You have 2 options: 1) go to places like trade parts stores or after market exhaust suppliers and pick them up for a few pence. 2) Or go down Honda and pay £5.86 for EACH one. :o :o :o Item 13 Getting the right ones should be easy as they are quite generic and suppliers will have books of...

    Rear Shelf 3rd Brake Light

    The wires you're looking for are a solid black wire and a white wire with a black tracer. The original wire is just long enough to just reach the original 3rd brake light. The boot spoiler 3rd brake light uses an extension wire which starts at the original 3rd brake light clipping into the...
