    How easy is it to change AC compressor?

    I recently started hearing a horrible grinding sound from the engine bay which coincided with the AC not working. It looks like the compressor has packed up so after getting a quote from Honda of just over a £1000.00 (I know but Im an optimist) I thought id look in to replacing it with a 2nd...

    Water pump change

    Driving home from Bristol last night and the air con stopped working then about half hour later engine light came on and temp gauge at max. Found most of the coolant gone and from what I can tell its coming from water pump area. So I'm pre-empting the worst and asking if changing water pump is a...

    Air con service

    My air con is working perfectly fine at the moment (hope I dont curse it saying that!) but was wondering how much longer it'll last. My car has 93k on the clock and full service history but no mention of any work being done on the air con system. Is it worth taking it to my local honda dealer...

    Knock when braking?

    Had this issue since buying the car in March and it had only just been MOT'd so I ***ume it cant be anything too serious, but it is very annoying so im determined to get it sorted soon.

    Guide to FRONT ARB bush replacement?

    I found what i thought was the right guide in the DIY section but it appears its for the rear anti roll bar D bushes. Also the pictures in the guide dont come up. Is there any info about doing the front ones? Ive had a look under the car and it looks straight forward apart from getting to the...

    Drive belt suppliers, Help

    Noticed my drive belt was looking decidedly dodgy yesterday so went in to my local parts place to buy a new one today. They gave me 3 options asking whether it had power steering and/or air con :huh: Anyway, from memory I knew it was a long belt so I went for the longest one. When I saw it, it...

    Accelerator adjustment

    Since ive started driving the Accord ive come close to stalling it a few times and, im man enough to admit, I have actualy stalled twice :blush: This is not an excuse (honest) but I find the accelerator pedal a bit sticky and theres a very small amount of travel before it responds. Is there...

    Wheel bearing fault?

    Since picking up my accord a couple of weeks ago ive noticed what I think is the sound of a worn wheel bearing. The reason im not 100% it is that is because the car had very recently (less then 200 miles ago) been MOT'd with no advisories. Ive also read on this forum about the rear brakes that...

    Front jack point?

    Just want to be sure ive got the right place to jack up the front of the car before I wreck something. When looking under the front of the car theres a thick cross member (not sure if thats the correct term) that flattens out in the middle and has a small hole in the flat section. Also theres an...
