well... after an afternoon session my HIDs are in and I am very chuffed - many thanks to Adam for his "how to" it made the job much easier. I found upon replacing the existing halogens that one of them had been incorrectly fitted (which is probably why the light was poor to start with) by a...

Cheers Adam much appreciated :)

Bumper on or off is the question! I've found a great write up by the hole so i'follow that and see how it goes :) Pics to follow...

Lights arrived today - fast delivery! So that's one job to do at the weekend

Where did you get them from Brett?

How did the rear LED tail light/brake lights turn out? I'm thinking of changing to LEDs myself and was thinking that tail lights might be ok but brake lights and indicators I'm a bit uncertain about... anyone done this? any feeback/pictures?

Well I've taken the plunge - always wanted HIDs since the having them in a Passat years ago! Hoping the installation is as straightforward as it seems to be and looking forward to easier night driving in my 7th Gen Diesel! Thanks for the link :-)

702 miles on 55.96 litres which in old money is 57.0mpg :) facelift saloon - probably helped by a couple of long journeys and a light right foot... I had the odd blast ;)

just an update - over 100 miles later and I've just made a journey through Snowdonia with no troubles at all. The stopping is back to its best and no noise or vibration from the back. One happy Accord owner again! :)

okay - happily, I now have a set of new pads on the front and discs and EBC greenstuff pads on the rear. I'll bed them in and see how they behave. My confidence in the mechanic was given a boost when he described how he had cleaned everything off and spent the time to do a proper job and that...

rear brake pads received today from EBC - again a quick service and all apparently in good order. Thanks to EBC for a trouble free process next step now is replacement of the parts which I hope is going to happen on Saturday (all being well...!!)

Thanks CJ - the conversation has been helpful to me (although a bit worrying at times!!). I appreciate the advice and recognise that without seeing the car in the flesh so to speak it's a bit tricky to comment! Work and other commitments beckon now so I'll post updates later this week.

Thanks CJ I just checked on the website and the Bodyshop which repaired my Accord is listed as having the specialist kit! (Baylis in Gloucester) I have done quite a few journeys (motorways and mountain roads) since the repair and the car drives exactly as it did before the accident so I am...

I've managed to master the procedure on inserting the image onto the page above...

I was told by the garage doing the repair that the car wouldn't have been released to me if all 4 wheels did not align No there are no more surprises that I have to reveal (I hope i do not discover any more!) I am hoping that it's the poor quality of the lens on my camera phone which distorts...

I feel another hmmmm coming on here and it's not at you CJ. Here's a bit more of a story - earlier this year I was hit from behind by a taxi. It was some whack and took that car off the road for over 5 weeks with extensive repairs. Now I'm starting to wonder if the brakes had to be removed to...

rear offside pad and disc rear offside disc

nope - never use my left foot for braking

on both occasions it was a Honda dealer (actually two different dealers due to a move in where I worked!). I couldn't say how the work was done partially because it was before I knew any better than to ask! I am re reading Al's post on clean clean clean and this is something that is in the...

it's on its second set of rear discs and second set of pads 5 clicks to fully engage 55k miles I'll have a crack at inserting some pictures I took in a minute
