    Front driver side water leak

    I ended up with a rust problem in my old Accord because a windscreen fitter had at some stage blocked the drainage channel behind the side trim of the windscreen. The car was designed to drain any water that ended up behind the trim via the roof rails, and big blobs of silicone had blocked this...

    Rear Fog Light on all the time

    Something might be earthing through the rear fog light or rear fog light relay? I'd start with checking the earth on the rear light cluster that holds the fog light. Then perhaps remove the tail light(s) (bulbs) in there and see when the fog light does and does not light up. Or see if the...

    Passenger Front electric window switch needed

    No they won't. I thought you were just after the actual switch. There is only a single switch on that side isn't there?

    Passenger Front electric window switch needed

    The switch is probably identical to all similar function windows switches from Hondas of the same build era. Honda ***igns different part numbers to identical parts all the time. BTW can you swap the broken switch with one of the rear window switches? Would not hurt comparing.

    DRL

    Check out this thread from 2017. Unfortunately the demo video on YT is no longer public and the EBay listing is dead, but the indicators, when not indicating, are white DRLs, and turn momentarily off when indicating. They looked clean and functional on the video, not like a clumsy add-on. Look...

    new to me

    My family keep buying Audi and VW for some reason, but they swallow parts and repairs. Meanwhile the one Honda and 4 Toyotas just keep driving. It is almost because the Japanese cars are so reliable as back up vehicles that we can afford to also have German cars.

    Rear brake piston will not wind back in - stuck

    The piston is plated, and the piston seal constantly slides over the same area each time you brake. This causes the plating to wear, and as the worn area slowly moves outward as the pads wear, this is exactly where the piston corrodes. Corroded steel expands and this makes it difficult to push...

    Can't find piston rings

    Wouldn't all 85mm F series pistons (and rings) be the same? For example https://www.tegiwaimports.com/genuine-honda-piston-rings-f-series.html

    Diesel holding back at 3000 rpm

    Be aware that if your cooling system isn't pressurising the water boils at 100C, which is not the maximum on the temperature gauge. So you might think the temperature is "a bit high" but in reality you have screaming hot motor and turbo trying to offload heat to a maxed out heat exchange...

    Air Con Woes

    My advice is to go through online Honda forums and find people reporting a similar problem but not necessarily in a (diesel) accord. Civics, US forums etc. Especially try and find similar age cars, and read what the solutions were.

    Rear brakes servicing

    There was likely some corrosion on your brake piston that, when you pushed the piston back in to fit the new pads, is now interfering with smoothly sliding past the seal. You need to have a look at that. Pull the piston halves apart and inspect behind the dust deal. Some related info, and...
