    Have you got tinted windows?

    I've got the blinds, looks like tinted but you can easily remove them if dark or in winter. Best of both worlds!

    Wow! I Bought One!

    I would definitely recommend the Stage 1 with EGR delete that Fahad did for me, as soon as i had it done, i wished i'd done it sooner. It smooths the power out and gives you a much more driveable car with none of the hesitation i was getting from waiting for the egr to close, i think the power...

    2 Stroke oil in your ictdi

    I haven't had the balls to try this in the accord yet, but i did give it a go in my VW van, it does seem a bit smoother running, but most noticeable is that when accelerating hard it used to pretty much fog out anyone behind, and since adding the two stroke although it still smokes, it is...

    Connection for 'door open'?

    It doesn't specify, it just says fusebox, but all the other colours listed have locations there or ignition switch harness, or drivers kick panel so i would guess they would try to do all the connections as near to each other as possible

    Brake discs query

    The Tourer rear discs have a drum handbrake mechanism inside them, so are very different to the Saloon, also the pads although very similar, are different too. the Saloon pads have a pin on them to engage in the piston, if you try to force these into the Tourer you will have problems. Either...

    Automatic locking

    My pre-facelift tourer stays unlocked if you only open the boot, maybe you have a faulty boot light switch so the car doesn't know the boot has been opened??

    Which One?

    If you buy the tap, make sure it fits properly, you will probably need to seal it with ptfe or something similar, or like me you will end up with loads on oil on the floor aswell!

    Tourer Handbrake Help

    Thank you all so much for the help, your pictures have confirmed all is in the right place, and the sticking brake was the pad, and not the handbrake mechanism at all, although that did need a bit of adjustment. I found some excellent advice on here about really cleaning up the carrier where the...

    Tourer Handbrake Help

    Does anyone have a picture or diagram of where the springs go in the drum handbrake on the tourer? on mine a spring seems to be fouling the adjuster, so i'm not sure it has been put together correctly.
