    An update on my vibration problem

    It was an original one although it was used . It didn't seen to have any movement in the cv's but I think the shaft itself is bent ( I guess that's the problem with used parts nine out of ten times there come from cars that have had a fairly nasty accident ). I think I will be asking for my...

    An update on my vibration problem

    I've been out for a long drive on slow A roads and the motorway and heres the result . The rumble has indeed gone completely and isn't noticeable at any speed ( I'm only getting the normal road noise now ) which is nice . Swapping the drive shaft back to the original one has definitely got rid...

    wheel refurb

    I'm not 100% sure about the city pack either to be honest , In some ways I would like to remove them but the foam tape there held on with is a pain to get off plus it might even remove the paint lol. The up side is I've not seen another accord so far with them fitted ( although there might be a...

    Drive shafts or inner cv's I should say will be one thing to look out for .

    An update on my vibration problem

    Will do matey. Like I say I'm sure the vibration at 60-70mph will still be there which I can sort of live with for a while but I'm pleased that the vibration under load in every gear has gone ( the replacement drive shaft must have been in worse condition than the original that I've just...

    An update on my vibration problem

    Will this little problem has just gone from strange to even stranger. When i first got the car the rumble and vibration at speed problem was already there so i swapped the front wheels to the rear which made no difference at all . I`ve also changed the front drivers side driveshaft which made...

    wheel refurb

    I`ve started cleaning up my wheels as there a bit untidy where the road salt has stated to lift the paint , i don`t have the cash to send them away to be done so it will have to be a rattle can job for the moment. So far i can`t make up my mind ( do i stick with the light grey or go darker )...

    Drivers rear wheel and disc are red hot!

    I'm not sure if the Tourer is the same set up on the rear calipers as the saloon but there are slots on the brake piston that line up with a raised notch on the back of the brake pad . If there not lined up chances are the pads will rub just enough to build up a fair amount of heat. I'm sure...

    Battery woes

    Check your voltage before starting and again once the car is running just to make sure your alternator is all good . If the voltage checks out fine you may need to drop test the battery as well to see what condition it's in under cranking load. It's also worth checking the terminals plus earth...

    An update on my vibration problem

    As some of you will know I have been having a problem with a vibration between 60-70 mph under accelartion only , I first thought it was the fairly common drive shaft problem but after driving the car and taking careful note of how the car drives in all gears plus load conditions I'm leaning...

    Type S fog light removal

    If anyone was wondering how the front fog lights come out on a Type S with the extra front lower lip here`s a short how to :) . First off you need to get the car up on rams or axle stands as you will need to get right under the front end to undo all the bolts and get the under tray out from...

    Type S 2.4 drive shaft

    I've been keeping an eye in eBay but the only half shaft I've see was for a older type R . I've been looking through the Honda part numbers to see if any other model has the same shaft but the type s 2.4 seems to different .

    Type S 2.4 drive shaft

    Well I went out side this morning and had the front drivers side drive shaft out and changed it for a good second hand one . I've still got some movment between the halfshaft spline and the inner cv spline but I'm guessing I will have to change the half shaft itself as well to sort it completely...

    Type s oval fog lights

    I'll have ago at it on Monday when I can get the front end up on ramps which should make taking pics alot easier . Once I've tackled the fog light I'll have ago at changing my drives side drive shaft plus check the wheel bearing and shaft shaft bearing ( the list of bits to do is getting longer...

    Type s oval fog lights

    Thanks Brett , I was hoping to get away with not removing the bumper but since it looks like they come out through the front I will need to remove the extra lower lip too ( which may well be easier off the car as it happens ) at least I should get a better idea as to what holds the lip to the...

    Type s oval fog lights

    Thanks mate, I should of asked you when I saw you this morning lol. I did have a go at getting the front lip off earlier but even after removing all the bolts it still wouldn't come off , I know it has some double sided tape holding it on as well but are there any clips too ( I don't want to...

    Type s oval fog lights

    Could someone point me in the right direction as to the easy way to remove one of my front fog lights . It's a pre facelift with the extra lower lip . Is it possible to get to the rear of the fog light to remove it or is it a case of removing the lip or the whole bumper ? Any help would be very...

    whats the most youve towed (safely)?

    Just to add to my last post . The trailer that you are using need to be plated for its maximum load and gross weight too ( just because the coupling may say for example 2700kgs doesn't mean to say the axles have the same rating ). If the police think your set up looks over weight or unsafe they...
