Hi all, In the words of my mechanic, the ATR is "p155ing" oil and he has recommended I get all the oil seals replaced sharpish. He has said it is an engine-out job and is looking at £1200 to carry out the work. Am I alone in thinking this sounds steep? Has anyone else had this done and...

Morning, Attempted to change the front discs and pads and couldn't get the caliper pistons back on both sides! I then took it to a local trusted garage and they have the same issue! They have said I'll need replacement calipers but trying to find them is like hen's teeth! Do you guys know if...

Hi all, Does anyone know where i can get a bracket which will lower the drivers seat position? Cheers Rich

Hi All, Just wondering if you guys can recommend a good stockist of Honda parts? i have seen on Google that Lings Honda and Cox's Honda have sites but neither seem to be a one-stop-shop. I have perused Ebay but I don't always trust that they are the genuine Honda part. Any recommendations...

Just to end the thread and a point of interest - the fitting of a genuine Honda fuel filter sorted the problem and now the car is accelerating smoothly again. i cannot believe what a difference it has made. The gearbox oil change too has made a great difference and has taken away a bit of an...

thanks guys, i really appreciate the advice. i'll let you know how i get on!

Hi all, two separate issue here i'm hoping for advice on. the engine stutter i know has been touched on before on here but reading it doesn't sound like my issue so thought i'd start a new thread. basically, it doesn't do it very often but when i am accelerating and the revs pass through...

Don't get me started!! OK, good man - i'll give that a try on the weekend, thanks!

Thanks Scooby - i should have added i drive the car daily so it rarely sits for a while to let the pressures go down. Valves is a good shout but don't tyre places replace those with the tyres? i can't hear any air escaping either so it is gradual but i have to pump them up weekly!

Hi all, i have had my Mk 7 Tourer for a few years now and I constantly seem to be pumping the tyres up on the blasted thing. I have had bad luck with punctures so it is on it's third set of tyres with me, all round and I have changed the make each time trying softer or harder compounds and...

Thanks - each time I try YouTube it's always an American video with a US spec Accord but i'll give this a bash.

Hi All, i want to replace the entire unit, case and all. Does anyone know how I get the current one off? Thanks in advance. Rich

Thanks for this but I am not so fluent in French and am not overly techie minded. I have seen that I can get resistors to fool the plugs and have to do some witchcraft with wires and the fuse box but I think I am out of my depth here! Also if a car has side air bags and these are removed, is...

hmm, fair point and thanks for your reply. i do have side airbags, but this doesn't sound like anything a removed fuse or well positioned sticker won't fix! lol. I shall have a look into the isolation of the system. thanks for your reply, very helpful. Rich

Hi, I used to have an ATR and to this day i still think the Recaro's that came in it are the best seats I ever had. SO, I bought some as a bit of an impulse, with fixings and rails from an 2001 ATR (seeing it as scrap brought a tear to my eye) - does anyone know if these will even fit in the...

Good man, i'll give that a bash. thank you.

All, Fallen at the first hurdle. Where is the locking nut for the gear knob? I've got the 'leather' gaitor and it just twists. I don't want to tear it. Cheers Rich.

All, Just been in to Honda as my car was recalled for this faulty air bag thing. I expected them to try and sell me a new car tell me mine needs loads of work for their over-inflated labour costs! Well after resisting the former, they got me on the latter. I had noticed a small amount of...

was going to order one, but which one do i need? it's rear right but there are two types? 10mm disc - Lucas VIN CN1 9mm VIN CN2 Fist Type. help would be appreciated! cheers Rich

I have this too. Same rear right, on my tourer. I had this on a previous car and a clean and re-lube of the caliper guide pins did the trick. I did the same with my accord and it cured it for about a month. Now it's back! I'm thinking it could be handbrake related but not sure...
