What a helpful chap! I was wondering about it needing regassing but thought surely it wouldn't work at all - your reply makes perfect sense. A trip to KwikKrap will be scheduled - they charge £40 which sounds fairly reasonable. Thanks Crespo - cheers - phil

Hi peeps, My '05 2.0 litre petrol Accord Tourer has been playing up a bit with the climate control. It will blow refrigerated air and make things nice and cool, then it'll stop blowing cold air after about 10 minutes and circulate warm air instead which is annoying and makes all occupants hot...

Sorry I didn't reply earlier - I just got a small screwdriver and gently prised the maggot from its plastic home. It had some gunk round it which I ***ume is some glue or sealent or whatever. Anyway, it came out fairly easily - I would NOT apply heat to it if you ever want it to work again!

Mmm - I didn't realise this was an option - would it have been possible to fit the old key blade into one of these?

Having got totally fed up with my keyfobs falling to bits with insulating tape keeping them together, I felt there must be another way of renewing your key without giving 200 quid to your local Honda dealer. There is. Read on: I made my first one a few months back and it's still very solid, so...

Found a company who refurbish seatbelts - sent the belt away on Tuesday, they rang today - £45 on the visa and they've replaced the webbing and checked everything and the belt is coming back tomorrow - very quick service - I was impressed. They are here: http://www.quickfitsbs.com/index.php

Phew, seat removed, MOT passed with an advisory of "Rear N/S seat missing" New MOT certificate a bit of a letdown - plain A4 paper. Bloke in garage ranting about how they have to buy the paper now. The price for doing the suspension bushes was: 2 x Lower suspension bushes: £61.56 1 x Anti...

I am planning on getting the seat back into the car with a decent seatbelt, but I just want the car to pass the MOT on Monday, so I'll go for seat removal then refit it as soon as I can once it's fixed. Or just put the old seat plus belt back in after the MOT - if you saw the tiny bit of...

So if they test the car as a three seater, what does that mean? would it pass or not? Yes - the avatar is from Eraserhead

That's the one I bought!!!!!! from Apex car breakers - problem is - it's not a seat belt from a tourer (as they said) it's from a saloon. They refunded my money and told me to bin the seatbelt, so if anyone wants a NSR seatbelt for a 03-08 Accord saloon, I happen to have a spare!

Because of my ongoing saga in trying to replace the nearside rear seatbelt in my Accord Tourer, I will not have the replacement belt in place by Monday when the car has an MOT retest. If I remove the nearside rear seat in its entirety, seatback (with inbuilt seat belt), seat base and seatbelt...

I can confirm categorically that the rear seat belts for a Tourer are different to those from a saloon. How do I know? because the breaker I bought a belt from, who ***ured me they had belts from both the Tourer and the Saloon has just sent me a seatbelt for a ****ing saloon!

Managed to get a used N/S rear belt from a tourer. should arrive tomorrow - I managed to get the old belt out yesterday - what a faff! those seats is complicated! Anyway, I am now the world authority on removing rear seat trim. Also have a pair of ring pliers arricing tomorrow to help put the...

I've been quote about £230 - all in - local garage is pretty reasonable - they've bought the bits from a Honda dealer. This lot charge about £50/hour for labour. Dunno whether that includes 20% stealth VAT or not - will provide detail when I get it done. The really irritating thing about the...

Thanks Brett - are you talking about the seat belts or the seats? cheer - phil

Hi y'all My '05 2.0 accord aero/avant/tourerdeck/estate thingie failed it's mot today on a couple of things: Front suspension bushes - they're on order and will be fitted by the garage. Rear n/s seatbelt has a massive chunk taken out of it (gawd only knows how, maybe got it caught in the...

the chap at Lubetech says I should use their Optima 0w30 Synthetic - I just found they have a service where you send them your reg and they tell you which oil is right I put this thread here 'cos that's where the thread about "which Oil for a diesel" was posted

which, unfortunately, I don't have - hence the questions.

Hello boys & girls I'm just servicing my '05 2.0 tourer i-vtec. I've seen the thread on "Which oil" but it's talking about diesel cars. I like the sound of the Lubetech oil. Which oil should I be putting into my 2.0 petrol lump? Semi-synthetic or fully synthetic? which viscosity? also -...

You refer to some antiseize to put on the spark plug threads. I have some high temperature copper grease which I bought when changing my brake pads - would this do the job ok? or perhaps just a dab of oil on the thread?
