    Gearbox/clutch

    Hi all, When reversing I hear the kind normal noise a car makes while reversing, however when I fully engage the clutch while reversing It makes a kind of whirring, stuttery noise combined with the usual reversing noise. Ive also noticed that while under reasonable acceleration the whirring...

    Water under car

    Hey all, Im not especially worried about this but I noticed a small amount of water dripping from under my car today while I was on my knees fitting some new mats. Jacked the car up and found it to be coming from a rubber hose that sticks out of the bodywork on the drivers side about a foot...

    CL9 Fuel filter

    Hi guys, Here to pick your brains once again :P Going to do a major service on the Accord next weekend and thinking I should replace the fuel filter.... these seem reasonably hard to source. Found a selection of 3, most expensive being the Bosch, others being japanparts and hearth + buss...

    Weird wobble

    This is weird to me, never felt anything like it in any of my other cars. Its like a wobble, but not side to side. It feels like its at the back end, cant be felt through the steering or pedals, doesnt seem to make any difference if im in or out of gear.... Not sure if its a shock or what, its...

    Meguiars SwirlX

    Folks.. The missus car is horribly swirled after someone (not I) went nuts with a machine polisher (supposedly a professional). Its a black pug 207 and it looks sodding awful in the sun. Can anyone tell me how much of this swirlX stuff Id need to do the whole car? Not sure if one bottle will be...

    Trouble selecting 2nd gear

    Hi all, My accord is experiencing a little bother with second gear (MT). It will go in ok but it feels a bit "clunky", more so from first to second than down-shifting but still a little iffy on the down-shift. Please god tell me this is a linkage problem or suchlike and that my gearbox isn't on...

    Drop links

    Hi guys, Before I start moaning and complaining I thought I'd see if I was missing something.... Noticed my near side ARB drop link had popped the other day, managed to remove it (all by myself, mummy would be proud :P) quite easily. Now, is it just me or are these things startlingly weak...

    Grilles

    Hi all, again :P I really want to ditch my original grille and swap it out for the euro-r styled one. For the love of all things sane, how can these things be so expensive? I was looking at this, which appears to be the full shebang for changing the bonnet plate etc...

    Servicing

    Hi all, Going by the service book my accord will be due a service imminently, just waiting for the indicator to come on. My question is, is it worthwhile having a service done by the honda dealership or am I as well to get it done independently? You see there is no honda dealership locally...

    A couple of modding questions.

    Hi all, I've never actually owned a car that I considered worthy of spending money on for modifying, but an accord has been my dream car for years and now I have one. Im looking to eventually change the suspension, exhaust and bodykit on my car. This will be a long term project as Im not...

    Stereo/satnav replacement options

    Hi guys, this is my first post other than my intro :) woo! Ok, first off, I am a total noob when it comes to modifying cars. I have, however, successfully replaced and installed many a car stereo but none which control AC etc, or have such an odd shape. I believe from what I've read on these...
