    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    Join the club :) I'm loving the 2.4 engine in mine (compared to my 2002 Honda Accord 2.0 which would make overtaking a very risky business). Mine's silver with black leather. Interesting to note regarding the tyres - luckily mine has 4 Pirelli all-season tyres which seem in good condition...

    Cannot Set Up my Phone - any tips?

    I fixed it :) I followed this thread here and I removed the Bluetooth module, cleaned the circuit board using WD Circuit Cleaner, and then put it in the oven for 10 minutes as explained in this thread here; https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/bluetooth-module-dead-needs-activating.23005/...

    Nobody reported back to say whether the battery drain issue returned?

    Bluetooth module - dead? needs activating?

    My concern with 'fixing' this (and getting the bluetooth working) is that I'll then have problems with the battery draining. Will this fix mean the battery drain issue will also be fixed?

    Auto folding mirror kit for Honda Accord 7th Gen? Any tips?

    After a LOT of research, I found a company in Malaysia that sells Auto Fold modules for the Honda Accord 7th gen - I've ordered a kit and will let you know how I get on. Here's the link in case anyone else is interested...

    Cannot Set Up my Phone - any tips?

    I think I'm learning more about these cars (I've only had mine a couple of weeks) - my guess is that the Bluetooth module isn't working. It has either been disconnected, or, isn't working due to overheating (dry solder joints) - apparently a common problem. Apparently people disconnect them...

    Bluetooth module - dead? needs activating?

    Wow!!! I am soooooooooooo grateful for this thread - my Phone Button doesn't make a beep - so I'll give this a try and let you know if it works! Thank you! PS - Any updates from anyone? Is it still working for you or did you end up going for the Grom-bt3?

    Cannot Set Up my Phone - any tips?

    I've tried countless times to go through "Phone Set Up" on my car but the response is always "Repeat", "Pardon", "Say Again", it's of course highly frustrating! I've tried different accents, speaking each word slowly, and each time end up giving up..... Any ideas / tips please? I love this...

    Removing the large plastic splash shield that's under the engine?

    Can anyone point me to a diagram which shows me where all the release clips/screws are to be found for my car please? I've looked online but cannot find it at all... Thanks.

    Rechroming my Grille?

    The chrome on my grille lets the rest of my car down and I'd like to replace it (however I believe inside/behind the badge is where the cruise radar sits?). Would I still be able to buy/fit a new grille (and transfer over the radar bits) or should I have the original grille rechromed (not even...

    Auto folding mirror kit for Honda Accord 7th Gen? Any tips?

    Thanks Smokingman, I should have said in my post that I did see/read that post and I contacted Japanparts but they said this part is no longer available (though mine's a 7th Gen and that thread is for the 8th Gen Accord, maybe I'll recontact japanparts as I can remember if I told them mine's a...

    Auto folding mirror kit for Honda Accord 7th Gen? Any tips?

    I'd really like to buy and install the modification kit that'll allow my folding mirrors to fold off the key (or auto-fold when the ignition key is turned on/off) - all rather than relying on remembering to press the fold-button on the door. I know these kits used to exist (once upon a time)...

    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    I've just purchased my 2nd Honda Accord, after having owned my first ever Honda for over 12 years (a 6th Gen 2002 2.0 Exec). This one's a 2006 Honda Accord 2.4 EX+ and I'm guessing the plus is because it has Lane ***ist and Active Cruise Control (which I've only ever seen on an 8th Gen, and...

    power steering pipe replacement how to

    Happy to report I changed over the Power Steering cooler pipe yesterday and my 2002 Honda Accord 2.0 EX is once more back on the road :) I cannot stop extolling the virtues of this car - I'll have owned it for 10 years in October and that cooler pipe replacement is the first DIY I've ever done...

    power steering pipe replacement how to

    Cheers mate, Normally I'd have taken my car to a garage for this fix, but with the current situation that we're in with this pandemic, I have to do it myself from home (very little tools, no garage) and didn't really have much choice but to buy the part from Honda.....

    power steering pipe replacement how to

    Found this thread thanks to Google. Really appreciate the description on how to do this yourself. I know it's a long time ago, but we're not that far apart (I live in East Sussex myself). Where did you go to get that pipe made ? And did that work okay for you ? (these pipes are quite...
