    Diesel Bug

    Recommend changing the fuel filter first to rule that out, from all my research on the forum and beyond this is normally the root cause of P0087. I eventually got to my root cause: faulty injector. Took it to diesel specialist in Sandwell, Birmingham who advised injector removal and...

    Air Con Woes

    I’ve got exactly the same problem (high side is cold and low side is warm) but in an 8th Gen. I’m thinking its a clogged/bad expansion valve so that’s my next port of call. Problem is the only place I can get a new expansion valve is Honda and its £150!! So just looking for second hand one at...

    Diesel Bug

    Hi guys a quick update. Finally got around to checking the tank, as Channel Hopper mentioned, straightforward access via rear seats. Just been ultra busy of late that’s why it took so long. Good news: tank is clean, fuel looks relatively clear as you can see some sedimentation at the bottom...

    Any bike rack recommendations for an Honda Accord Estate? (for 2 bikes)

    I used to think roof racks were a faff till I gave them a go on my BMW 1 series and since then I’ve been converted. I used the Thule rack and it’s a doddle getting them on; grab the bikes by the fork and seat tube and it slots straight in. I never liked the idea of having an overhang at the rear...

    Condenser O-Rings

    So I'm having a crack at replacing the AC condenser this weekend after a local specialist quoted £450 for the privilege. Condenser on the way (£80 ebay job inc dryer unit), now I’m after the orings. Lings is showing: 80872-SN7-003 (PFKL879106) O-RING (1/2") And 80873-SN7-003 (PFKL879118)...

    Just to add to this thread, I tightened my handbrake cable today and found a modifed method to Scotsgent that maybe easier for some if they have drive extensions. After 3), I proceeded to undo these 2 bolts: Then remove the rear of the central compartment (pulls apart quite easily with 4...
