I tried fitting one of these to my previous Accord but found it didn't mute the tweeters on the dashboard or the sub. I can't remember which adapter I bought but can someone recommend one that works with the premium stereo with satnav that allows the parrot to use all the speakers?

This is a subject that comes up a few times from prospective owners and the petrol diesel debate so I thought I would post my real life experiences to help anyone considering the diesel 7th gen. As a bit of a background I have previously owned a pre facelift 7th gen diesel tourer which I bought...

I've got a new condenser to fit to my diesel tourer. What else do I need to remove first to get to it?

I filled up at the weekend and put 55L in the tank. Range left was showing as less than 20 miles. Now on my calculations I had averaged 50.5mpg for that tank of fuel, the computer showed it as 52mpg so not far out. My handbook shows the tank capacity as 65L so I should have been able to get...

The auto headlights on mine seem too sensetive. Driving along the motorway they switch on and off everytime I go under a small bridge which I'm sure can't be great for my headlight bulbs neither, and the satnav switching from daylight to night settings constantly is a bit distracting. Has...

Hi guys, I've not been very active on here for a while because I was thinking about selling the Accord though I have still been browsing in the background. Car is a 54 Exec CTDI tourer. I've felt that it has been a bit lacking in power for a while, but I also knew the exhaust manifold was...

I'm considering selling my diesel accord and buying a Type R and might hopefully be looking at one at the weekend. My Dad had one when they were still new so I know what they are like but what should I be looking for now that they are 10 years old or more?

When fitting the shorter auxiliary belt, is the extra pulley just missed out or is it removed completely? Also does anyone have a part number for the shorter belt?

I've just used a Autoleads SOT-047 to connect my Parrot system to the car. All is going fine except the tweeters and sub aren't being muted yet, not worried about this bit yet because I haven't connected the mute lead yet. But has anyone actually managed to get their system to use the tweeters...

I need to get to the connections to the Amp on my Sat Nav equipped pre facelift tourer. Do I need to remove the DVD player to get to it or just the head unit?

Can anyone tell me if the sump plug should have a washer fixed to the bolt that won't come off as well as a replaceable sump plug washer? I'm in the middle of changing the oil and found the original bolt has a washer on which will only unscrew a couple of turns and then sticks. No other washer...

Has anyone changed the crank pulley on their Accord? My engine has a rattle from that area, had the belt off and checked all pulleys and they all seem ok, but the noise is still there with the belt off. Other than the chain that only leaves the Crank Pulley. Mechanic thinks its the Crank Pulley...

I'm pretty sure its just the aircon removing moisture from the car but can someone confirm that I should see water dripping near the exhaust at the back of the engine in the centre of the car. Drove to work today and was told about an hour later that my car had a leak. I've checked it and think...

Has anyone changed their timing chain other than via the Honda warranty route and what were the costs involved?

My Accord needs a clutch which I knew when I bought it, mileage is currently on 120k. I have a friend who is a mechanic with his own business that's going to fit a new one for me. I'm just trying to weigh up my price options. New luk clutches can be had for around £140 but not sure if they are...

My diesel seems to sit slightly below half way on the gauge though it warms up quick enough. Is this normal or should it sit bang on half way?

The slide function of my sunroof works perfectly, but when I press the button again to tilt it up nothing happens, no noise from the motors or anything. Does anyone know if the tilt function uses the same motor as the slide function? If it does then I am guessing its probably just a microswitch...

I've not noticed any smells inside the car yet, but had a sniff around the back of the engine tonight and it does smell slightly so I think it might be starting to go. The car was first registered in Sept 2004 so is over the 7 year point but mileage is at 120k. Whats the chances of Honda still...

My front passenger window doesn't go down though I can hear the motor running. I'm just wondering if its a common fault for these to come off the runners before I start ripping my door to bits?
