    What next??

    I don't know anyone local (I have been given costs between £1.1k and £1.9k, so based on the forum I will have to try it on my own. Farhad's thread suggests the clutch is all that is needed though he found his steed had issues with the self adjusting stuff (fixed after a profesional drop of the...

    What next??

    Another Accord Mk7 I have one with a slipping clutch (has been for years), the next three months are likely to be when it finally has to be worked on though I have a cunning plan.... If yours is only clutch slip and nothing else (DMF/bearing) the part is less than £150, but would/could you...

    Honda accord. 2.0 vtec

    Just a thought, were 15" standard on the Vtec ? I've only seen 16" tyres on checks when buying replacements for the tourer.

    Honda accord. 2.0 vtec

    I wouldn't bother if it is better handling you are after unless you have deep pockets. Remove all excess weight from the car, buy a decent set of tyres to fit your current wheels and get them dynamically balanced by a professional outlet.

    Accord. Mk7 radio

    Quantity over quality. It is of concern there are very few DAB+ standalone receivers out there with dual speakers.

    Accord. Mk7 radio

    I would never mock forum members, nor anyone that fell for the con. https://theconversation.com/dab-radio-was-the-future-until-live-streaming-and-podcasts-arrived-95250 Note how the industry is now gunning for DMB, incompatible to the one currently in the radios and stores...

    Accord. Mk7 radio

    Is yours a saloon or tourer ? Not that I have looked closely at the preamplifiewr inside my vehicle, but there is a thread on the site which can be found by searching for 'diversity', the method of getting the signals out of a glass embedded with wires as Honda intended. You shoud find there...

    Leaky Injector Seal - 2006 Honda Accord ICTDI (N22a1 Engine)

    I did not need to resort to 'engine management' to remoive after soaking in cola. The injectors were tight but not impossible to twist slightly then remove. If you are thinking of it then put a few wet towels on top of the cylinder head before firing up.

    Leaky Injector Seal - 2006 Honda Accord ICTDI (N22a1 Engine)

    Unless you get a serious drop in the MPG I would ignore it. Otherwise it is a can of cola overnight, and an hour to check the corrosion on the head surface once out to see if a copper seal will fix it. Then there is the injector cleaning (scraping the stuff off the sides), re-fitting the...

    Cold starting issue 2.2 cdti

    The preferred solvent (as recommended by others) is Coca Cola. I poured the best part of a can whilst hot - into the canal a couple of days before taking things apart and all went fine. There is a difference between leaking injectors and leaking seals so be careful as to the fault and...

    DPF & EGR Delete in Scotland?

    It would be interesting if there was a claim that fumes from a standard, serviced vehicle were in part responsible for a crash.

    Front discs.

    Just returning to this. One MOT failure owing to pads (meat left) and an advisory on the disc thickness. The current distance between the pads is a shade over 25mm at centre point with the verniers and there is at least 3mm left on the pad with the most wear, which has not started any grinding...

    Coolant Flush

    I have the Mk7, the thermostat has no bleed on either side of the container (at least on the i-ctdi). I've had to glue it shut anyway as one of the retaining bolts had sheared off.

    Coolant Flush

    Is the thermostat functional at the specified temperature ? It may be worth testing in a pan of hot water. Bleeding the system after flushing /refilling is just as important on the Mk7 diesel. I have found that stuff always remains in the matrix, but letting off the radiator cap after the...

    Radiator f'ed?

    I have had to replace the air conditioner radiator on a Mercedes before, horrible experience. The Tourer engine rad is a doddle.
