Well, after 10 years of Honda ownership, I am moving to a new family. I have placed an order for a Toyota Auris HSD for me and a Toyota Yaris for my wife, they come in the next couple of weeks. The main reason for switching was because I have had enough of constantly paying out to keep my...

Well the old girl is showing her age... I've had a slight rust bubble on the rear arch (where the screw is that holds the rear bumper to the wheel arch), I scraped out as much as possible from behind the arch and then plastered it (& both rear arches) with waxoyl. Step forward a few months and...

I had the car in for her major service today and the front discs were replaced also. I supplied the discs for the garage to fit while they were doing the timing belt etc. They rang me saying the discs I had supplied were too big - they are 300mm, and when I went to pick the car up they showed...

Long story short, I'm trying to change brake hose, disc & pads on nearside rear and the calliper is seized so I can't wind it back. Thus I can't get calliper over new pads and disc... Not good! :-( I'm trying to get the handbrake cable off the calliper bracket so I can get the calliper on the...

Does anyone know where to get a PCV valve from in the UK? Part number: 17130PK1003. Honda want just shy of £40, but according to many US sites, they are $3 or $4. Ebay have got them for about £6 plus postage from the US. Cheers, Colin

I've been having a read through the threads on the OBD2 readers and am considering getting one and using it with the Android Torque app to see what sort of info is available from the car and to see if it is throwing an error with the egr or iac valve as my car has started stalling again at...

How do, I'm wanting to order some brake hoses & discs ready for the weekend, i've decided to go with HEL hoses but they offer 2 different part numbers - 1 for the type v cl3 & 1 for the type v cl4. I ***ume that it is for hatchback and saloon, but according to the Lings site the saloon and...

The ***le says it all really - could someone please tell me how to best locate the axle stands to allow me to get the car completely in the air with all 4 wheels off? For the life of me I don't know where to put them! I've found a site that references a front & rear centre jack point and then...

Just found this as I want to remove my IAC valve and give it a good clean and last time I couldn't figure put how to disconnect it fully. It's based on the US model but in all fairness the pictures look just like it did when I tried a few months ago...

Quick question as per the ***le, will the front callipers off a Type R fit the Type V? I know the rears will as they are the same part, not sure on the front though. Cheers, Colin

Hi all, I wanted to spend the day undersealing the car and getting it ready for the winter roads but I couldn't figure out how to remove the plastic tray that routes the fuel & brake lines from front to back. I removed 3 x 17mm plastic fittings and that loosened the tray, I could see little...

I'm throwing this out to the experts and depending on what gets thrown back this thread may turn into a how to pad/disc replacement for 6th gens to go with the one for the 7th gens. Apologies in advance for the length. At the HH meet yesterday I was advised about my front pads wearing unevenly...

I have been reading the various threads on shampoos, clay bars, polishes etc and have decided on Ag shampoo & conditioner, bilt hamber or megs soft clay (I've never used it before) and then AG Super Resin Polish to put a bit of life in the old girl. But what wax or sealant would the experts...

I was driving home from work today and my near side rear brake was grinding away whenever I braked. Unfortunately as it was late I couldn't look at it myself so I just dropped it off at the garage for them to look at tomorrow. I wouldn't have had a clue what I was looking at anyway. I don't...

Hi, I'm after a bit of advice on how to get at the EGR plate on my Type V to give it a once over. The reason for doing this is because the car occasionally stalls when turning at junctions when running on lpg - it has just had a gas service and I was told that the ECU's had a discrepancy and...

It is great to see that the site has been re-incarnated as the old site was a very useful font of knowledge. I was just wondering if anyone could provide any pointers on how to get the boot trim panel off a Accord 98 - 02 hatchback? I have managed to pop a handful of the clips from by the lock...
