We've all occasionally stalled the engine, right? I did today, after a 1 hour drive, ending in stop-start urban traffic, I think I misjudged the revs pulling out from a parking space, onto the road, on a slight uphill. The car went cloink and I quickly restarted it before the people in my...

The alarm backup battery finally died. Got the alarm out by removing the subwoofer, taking a flash photo of the installation, and unbolting the Cobra unit from there. No need to remove all the panels like a lot of people say on here. I thought about replacing just the 6 250BVH Ni-MH cells...

Don't know if this has been posted before. I found this white trying to find information about the Relay Control Module, in another thread. US 2004 TSX workshop manual. PDF. It's nothing like the Gen7 WSM we generally refer to. It seems to have more electrical test procedures, but I have...

Finally, a bit late in the game, but someone in China is finally producing replacement headlight skins for the EU/AU/JP/TSX body Gen7 Accord. Best price I found was on Aliexpress, starting in the 50-ish range of Pounds and Euro. (Link here) If see them cheaper, they're probably making up the...

Saw this on FB when some guy asked Chat GPT to generate an example of a hotted up CM wagon in a particular colour. Would have made a good April fools post but it's a bit late for that.

The SSL certificate for typeaccord.co.uk expired 13/08/2024, so most (decent) browsers don't let you visit without adding an exemption. Is this being renewed? It's not terribly expensive.

A few days ago I noticed a new noise. A rythmic / phasal squeal most likely emerging from one of the pulleys on the serpentine belt. At idle, it phases from low to high volume at 15 to 20 seconds intervals. At higher RPM the phasing is faster however the pitch of the squeal doesn't rise. You...

Pretty sure we have discussed this but I cannot find the thread now. Can anyone tell me what the name of Honda's latest manual transmission fluid is? The super low friction one.. Thanks.

I can't see this discussed anywhere here. It is an older project but some interesting angles to it. Especially if this sort of thing overlaps with your field or interests. For example, it explains why a standard burned DVD does not work in the nav unit...

If you watch Mightycarmods you've probably seen this guy from Haltech performing engine tunes. Here he is talking about why the K24 is a well built engine engineering wise, and a popular base for performance tunes.

Mk7 Question: Is the self-leveling adjuster (the motor part) that adjusts stock HID headlights according to suspension input the same unit that adjusts the position of headlights in the wagon?

Stupid things happen. My 1994 VTI wagon has a parasitic drain on the battery. So am poking around with a multimeter trying to find the culprit, and I pulled a few fuses and relays in the process. As I'm fumbling with one of the RC2225 relays, it slips out of my hand and falls down past the...

This happened on a Gen 5 Accord, but the issue applies everywhere. Changing the alternator on a Gen 5 Accord I noticed that the inspection cover of the 80Amp battery fuse had partially melted. The fuse is still intact, but obviously had come close to vaporising at some stage. Has anyone seen...

It had been dying for years, with the quality of the site slipping into something halfway to 4chan, just nonsense, really. But people were also occasionally helpful, and posted some great build projects and documented procedures. The site owner, long MIA, has decided to pull the plug, and...

Does anyone have a photo of what a properly adjusted right side headlight (driver's view - UK model) looks like when projected against a wall? Right side only - ie. left headlight covered up or disconnected. Driving light, not high beam. The pattern projected by my rhs headlight is vague at...

I pulled off the front bumper to investigate a headlight problem, and also discovered the reason why the windscreen washer fluid bottle leaked out 80% of water every time I filled it up! I figured this is a HID headlight washer pump. But my car does not have HIDs. It does have lots of...

Does anyone know which Honda factory made the Tourer models? I've kind of ***umed they were from Japan but I've never read anything to support that.

The high beams in my headlights are H1 halogen sitting in a converter that turns the base into what looks like a H7 2 blade connector. The base is what fixes the bulb ***embly in place. Does this mean that a H7 bulb actually can replace the H1 + base ***embly? I don't have any H7 bulbs to...

I'm trying to figure out if this is the start of a problem. Using the accelerator to transition from coast to just the edges of supplying drive, I can feel the tiniest of knocks through the steering column as the engine and drive train "load up" There is no sound ***ociated with this. I'm...

Hi all, Does anyone know what year HID became a factory option on new Hondas? Was HID offered on any of the 7th Gen Accords? Thanks.
