    Rusted bumper beam

    I have an estate one, I removed it from a 2007 car, as I fitted a towbar. Yours for a tenner if it is any good to you.

    DPF replacement, how much work?

    You can remove it yourself, just be very careful not to damage the cat or any sensors. Also be certain to get a perfect seal when you re-weld it. I work in a car repair shop, and got one of the fitters to do it. This is not my video, but looks good;

    Clutch

    Now have been quoted 9 hours to do this job, sounds a bit excessive, does anyone have first hand knowledge of this? Cheers

    Clutch

    Cool, so I could just use the reg number off this car, to get the correct part; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Accord-2-2i-DTEC-2012MY-Type-S/192884388010?hash=item2ce8ce30aa:g:bowAAOSwj~JcqyBg

    Clutch

    Hi all. The clutch on my 2011 I-Dtec is now slipping on full boost. Can someone suggest a stronger than stock part, or the best quality stock part, as I want to be able to use all of my extra grunt, now I have had my remap. Cheers Carl

    Uprated Headlight Bulbs

    Yes I wrapped it myself, just the chrome look strips, which unscrew. Also the big centre H badge, which is held in by 2 plastic pins with metal retaining clips. These I landed up breaking, but an easy refit with super glue.

    Uprated Headlight Bulbs

    Job done, quite a straight forward job removing the bumper, although surprising how much of a tug you have to give it, to pop it out of retainers. Very simple from there, headlights out, replace bulbs. Waiting for darkness for a test.

    Uprated Headlight Bulbs

    I think I will do that, as I have been planning a makeover of the hideous chrome look grill anyway, so I can sort that at the same time.

    Uprated Headlight Bulbs

    Guessing it is a fiddly job fitting, I don`t have the hands of a woman! Although I do have a (rather short fused!) wife to hand.

    Excellent. Thanks for all the input guys. So if H1 is the main beam, what is the dip? Cheers

    Uprated Headlight Bulbs

    Hi all. My oe headlights are lousy, on both dip, and main beam. This has become more noticeable, as the nights are getting dark earlier. Is it an easy diy job, and is it just the bulbs need upgrading? Lastly can someone recommend suitable bulbs? Cheers

    Problem with alloys

    They will be leaking due to pitting / corrosion of the wheel finish, at the tyre bead area. This is very common, take them to a decent tyre shop, and ask them to reseal them. They will remove the tyres, and clean up the rims, re-***emble, and job done.

    Awful German car...

    I had a diesel E61 around 5 years ago. Without the bother of listing all the problems, enough to say I will never own another BMW I quickly replaced it with an Accord.

    Looking for a new set of alloys, will these fit?

    I have a set of oe rims 8x18 off an RX8. I got these for my 7th gen, but never got around to using them I have just refurbished them to a very reasonable standard in matt black, tyres have not been fitted since. I can send you a few pics if interested @ £195 in Hereford

    Accord 2.2 i dtec Type S - Appalling mpg figures

    I had exactly the same experience, when going from a mapped 7th gen, to a standard (low mileage, well serviced) 8th gen. The only thing which seems to improve the economy is to drive faster! Always fancied a type s tourer though, rare as a rare thing.

    18" Axe Alloys

    That particular item will not fit, although I guess you could find them in the correct pcd. You need 5/114.3 not 5/112 I have a set of RX8 wheels, which I have just refurbished in matte black. I may as well sell them, as I can`t see me using them in the near future. These definately will...
