quick recap on Sputnik. It went back into garage b'cos something was rubbing on the steering when the work was done on it. But now back and running as good as I've ever had it. Gone are the black clouds, but still a grey haze when giving it plenty of beans on the throttle. The only let down...

on n/s inner wing near strut top. The inside of the box lid is indented with symbols of which/where so you can't go wrong. Look for icicle symbols :-)

I think I already posted this comment on a previous a/c thread : Go under the hood and find your fusebox, there are two a/c relays, one for the cooling fans and one for the electromagnetic clutch which engages the compressor. They are the same rated relays.........so just swap them over and see...

Had a prowl around today to Bury & back , and its deffo up to full power and minimal smoke. To the point when I was booting the throttle I got a bit of clutch slip. It does sound a bit noisey on tick-over...but that might be because I've been using my S-Max 2.0 TDCI a lot recently which is...

Sputnik has been full serviced ( ALL filters ), new front tyres & tracking, and more importantly sporting its new exhaust manifold. £750 in part & labour ( I bought most of the stuff myself except tyres ), largley considered to my last big spend on her now. Feels like I've gained 20% more...

No ....but its an interesting issue. I often wonder whether Honda PR people are interested in cars that have done a quarter of a million and not leaking a drop of oil. You'd think after reaching a certain mileage you'd qualify for a Honda state pension and free car healthcare LOL :wub:

Sputnik handed over to garage this eve for its manifold replacement job ( non-warranty ) . I have real high hopes it will come back like a new car.

Yep!! thats the offending article. Looks as pink as Micky's limo from Shameless.

guys..I was too shocked and stunned to reach for the phone and take a snap. At the time I was wishing I had an RPG available. Although I live east of Rochdale..I don't normally spend much time round there weekdays as I work nr Elland Rd footy ground.

...spotted late afternoon in Rochdale, a PINK facelift 7th gen saloon sporting bridal shop decals :-0 Pink Ford Ka's ...inevitable, Pink Beetles...hhhmmm Pink Accords...just plain WRONG

I'd have gone for it being a loose 'chuffing' injector as these sould exactly like tappets when gone. The telltale signs would be carbon crud around the injector. But from the pic above you've investigated further than this already....

Entwisi, I don't disagree with a word you've said , and I'm not suggesting you hide facts when selling. What alway concerns me are the people who buy lame cars and sell them on as fault free. When I bought SPUTNIK, it was only 4yrs old but I knew I was buying worthless rolling scrap with 190k...

LOL :-) wonder whether your motor shows up a month after you sold it with ~35000 miles ROFL :P

Hi Faddy, clutch & DMF were done a few years back at ~200k. This isn't vibration, its deffo steering wheel wobble at 50<70 while accelerating. My garage are working on it at the end of this week ( service/tyres/exhaust manifold) and they were going to replace a CV boot. However I'll contact...

here here!! what I don't like about selling a car with a known ailment ( and I know lots do it...so this isn't meant to be a dig )..is that it can fall into the hands of a trader who'll attempt to pass it off as perfect. Heres a true story about a VW Sharan I almost bought last year. Ebay had...

...very clever :-) using that trick, the 2008 facelift 6-spd is 44305-SEF-E00 DRIVESHAFT ***Y., R. 44306-SEF-E00 DRIVESHAFT ***Y., L 44500-SEF-E00 SHAFT ***Y., HALF ..and back to re-check my 2004 5-spd its :- 44305-SEF-E00 DRIVESHAFT ***Y., R 44306-SEF-E00 DRIVESHAFT ***Y., L. 44500-SEF-E00...

Just put my reg in the HOP site and just these no.s:- PFKL600725 DRIVESHAFT ***Y., R. PFKL601238 DRIVESHAFT ***Y., L. PFKL602802 SHAFT ***Y., HALF .then found a random image of a facelift CN1 ( 57 2008 yr plate ) and got exactly the same no's ...but I'm not personally sure whether these...

Cheers, there's two separate n/s shafts on eBay at the moment, a 2007 & a 2008. Mine deffo has a knock on acceleration, so will ask my garage to give them all a good prod this week, then take it from there...

Ahh Sakamoto...Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence ;-p Accord 7th gen not lauded for its road noise characteristics , but its one I can suffer. Just get some Kasabian on ( Vlad the Impaler will do..) and try to relax to that one LOL.

Sorry for the triple post. Android phone gone mental
