I tried to make a syringe but the grease was too thick to go through. I have to push it past one of the slots in the washer with my finger.

Dow Corning Molykote O-Ring Grease is the stuff that the older site recommended. I got some and use it from time to time when the creak returns. And I must say, the original writeup makes the job look simple. It's not !!! The photos especially make it look like you can casually hold down the...

My driver's-side one went recently. On close inspection, the clear plastic that covers theLED unit was cracked - I suspect a minor mirror-slap incident on the road caused it. I had a look around here and saw that it didn't look like an easy job. Some comments: The door panel has to come off...

Nice indeed! My understanding is that over time, moisture gets in under the lacquer and then the corrosion starts. Short of never driving the car and keeping it in an air-conditioned cocoon all the time, I thought corrosion was inevitable. So how do you do it?

I can't help but I have the same problem with my first CD ...

I have Epsilons on my Accord as well. The standard finish on these wheels is prone to corrosion and when I got my car, they had already been refurbished with a regular "matt silver paint" alloy wheel finish. If you buy new Epsilons, I would think the standard finish they come with will also...

2004 CL7 Executive Looks like "Royal Ruby Red Pearl" is a rare colour - and it's the reason I bought the car! In fact, this is pretty much the same colour as my last 3 cars. Sad, I know. I see something similar only recently became available on the 8th gen ...

Must check mine today When I got my Accord my first tyre check revealed 50psi in each tyre! That was the maximum permitted on the sidewall so I did't think any damage was done. I adjusted them to correct values, but then found I couldn't keep pressure in them. Got them checked for punctures...

I haven't tried this myself, but here is something I found somewhere here on my travels: How to manually code your remote function on your key: If you have a dead battery and your key has forgotten the code when you replace your battery this info will save you a trip to the dealer and parting...

I think what Honda are saying is: Checking the oil level 15 minutes after running will allow nearly all of the oil to accumulate back into the sump and most of the thermal expansion to dissipate ... but not all. It is therefore a reasonable - but not perfect - way to get the level. The most...

I replaced my (dipped) bulbs with Halford's "Ultra Bright H1 bulbs". Even with their 2 for 1 deal they were expensive at €30, but they are bright! On the subject of the sidelight, you need to remove the wheel arch liner but even so, these are simple enough to replace. More details in the...

I was the other party. I said: Pepster said: So no mention of stupid! Having said that, I've never seen Silica bags in my pre-facelift CL7 - neither before nor after I got my lights replaced - and I still stand by my comments that the best solution is to get the dealer to agree to replace...

I read your thread - oh dear, sounds like you haven't had much luck ... It does sound like it could be wheel bearings. However, to first eliminate the possibility of brakes, try applying them at the speed you hear the noise. If it's the brakes, the noise will change when the brakes are applied...

All sorted now! I tried the various tips above but to no avail. Moving on to suspecting the wheel bearing, I visited a mechanic who confirmed the diagnosis. The bearing comes with an ***ociated hub carrier and the part cost €140.18 from a Dublin Honda main dealer. There were good-looking...

Thanks for all the replies guys. It certainly sounds like the back brakes. Some other bits: o Its a saloon o I did drive for about a minute "on the brakes". Got them very nice and warm but it made no difference o I also tried driving with the handbrake on but an alarm sounds after a few seconds...

Thanks for the responses. I suppose it could be that the handbrake hasn't fully released but I can rotate the wheels by hand and can also push the car on level ground - sugesting nothing is binding?

Hi, Hopefully somebody may know what the problem is. Here is my (shortish) story: During the recent cold snap, I parked my car (80K 53/04 2.0 Executive on 17" wheels and Epsilon alloys) up for about 2 weeks. When I next drove it, all the snow had cleared and the temp was back to about 8C. It...

Hi, I'm an old timer from thaoc but - embarrassed to say - this is my first real post here. Sorry! Anyway, my experience with fogged-up headlights: I have a 53/04 CL7 2.0 litre executive. Purchased it in London in July '08 and imported it Ireland. The headlights were misting and I read up on...

Just arrived! Looks good and well done for all the work!!!
