    Are all diesel alternators the same?

    My alternator is on it's way out (it's making a horrendous noise), it's the second time I'll have to replace it now. It's a 2004 diesel, I've changed the belt setup for the newer shorter version but I think the second hand alternator I fitted (also from a 2004 car) hand lasting damage caused by...

    Performance difference between 5 speed and 6 speed diesels

    I decided to time my remaped tourer the other day for a laugh to see how it compared to the factory figures and I noticed that the quoted 0-60 figures for the early and later 7th gen Accord diesels is quite significant, apparently the early 5 speed cars are 10.1 seconds to 60 and the facelift 6...

    Honda accessories brochure for prefaclift models

    While doing a bit of research about the A-Spec front spoiler I came across this link which I found very interesting and handy as it has part numbers. http://media.honda.co.uk/car/owner/media/pdfs/ACCORD03YM.pdf Really like the look of the Sports Bumper (part number 08P02 SEA 620A) on page 6...

    Anyone fitted an A-Spec spoiler to a diesel bumper?

    I have already got a topic going asking about the differences between petrol and diesel bumpers, but as I've narrowed down exactly where the problem seems to be, I just want to check whether this is due to the mould or the actual difference between the petrol and diesel bumper shapes. I've...

    My Accord is currently in the bodyshop have some repair work done and was hoping to have an A-Spec front spoiler fitted but the bodyshop are saying that there's no way it'll fit and even with cutting it up to fit the actual shape of it seems wrong. So I just want to check, what are the exact...

    Fuel filter priming bulb not staying hard

    Been having slight running issues for a while now. The slight issue seems to match issues regarding either the EGR valve or fuel filter, ie, bit flat lower down the rev range, little bit of hesitation. Now the EGR valve has been deleted when it was remapped and has been blanked off and the fuel...

    Speaker upgrades for exec tourer

    As good as the standard stereo system in the executive tourers are, I would really like to upgrade the speakers for an even better sound and some more bass. Being a tourer it already has a flat sub in the boot, can anyone recommend a decent replacement for this? And can anyone recommend speakers...

    Best place to buy an A-Spec style front spoiler?

    Had a bit of a search on the internet but all I managed to find is this one seller on eBay. Has anyone ever bought this and if so, how was the quality and fit? Or is there somewhere else that you can buy one from (ideally not looking for a genuine one as I may have to chop it up a bit to get it...

    Arch rolling and the plastic inner liner

    I'm hoping to finally splash out on a decent set of alloys for my tourer but I know I'll have to roll the arches to get them to fit without catching, but I'm just wondering what you lot who've done this have done about the plastic arch liners? In the past with cheaper bangers I've just ditched...

    The lens on the passenger door mirror indicator has a crack and it doesn't light up after the crack, can the indicator unit be changed independently from the mirror? Or does the whole door mirror need changing?

    Alarm goes off everytime I open the car

    Didn't want my first post to be about a fault with my new car but here goes. I went to see the car at the beginning of the week and the owner said the central locking had just stopped working from the remote, but the central locking worked fine with the key. On the test drive everything was...
