Hi all, Does anybody have any idea where I can get a replacement backshell for the LHS door mirrr on my mk8 Accord? I have tried google and not found anything that looks like the one fitted. It looks like it's in 2 pieces and unfortunately I have damaged both. Any advice would be greatly...

Are front shocks handed? Monroe shocks just say front axle but Bilstein say front left and front right with the left hand being quite a bit dearer. Thanks guys.

This is something I've been considering. My gear change has been notchy and I want to put in some Liquid Gold aka Evolution 1. Is there a link to a procedure anywhere? Is it a do-able diy job?

Nothing to look out for. its a Honda!! Next to perfect IMHO.

And another thing! I did have some road noise when I bought the car coming from the tyres. I fitted Good Year Efficient something because they were advertised as 67 db (does each rise in db double the noise). Now I don't have any road noise! Unfortunately I can clearly hear everything she says.

I came to the 8th gen Accord April this year and it was my first Honda. Prior to the Accord I had an S Type Jag which was like driving an armchair around it was so comfortable. I do recall thinking that the drivers seat was basic in its initial feel but that thought soon disappeared. I recently...

Update: I changed the oil again and this time used EXOL 0W30 C2 engine oil. It has returned the car to its previous performance, much smoother, quieter and far better freewheeling than before. All I can conclude is that it makes a real difference using the C2 spec. Actually i noticed in has C2...

I changed the oil in my iDTEC at the weekend and used 0W30 ACEA C3 spec Castrol Edge FST as common wisdom. However, the car seems a lot different since the change. it doesn't run as smoothly, doesn't seem to coast as well after coming off the accelerator and is noisier. It is not as loose as it...

Please could somebody show me the link as my searching has been fruitless! I would like to buy a 20l drum so I can do interim changes myself. Has anybody used a vacuum extractor with their Accord? I have had mixed success with mine and not sure why (on the good lady's Merc)!

Thanks again for the help. I like this forum!! I hope to contribute as I get to know my car. The car has drum for the handbrake (like the good lady's Merc and they were a bugger to get off). Hope the Honda is more friendly.

It's a saloon, so that makes things simpler. Thanks Brett. Does anybody have the torque setting for the wheelnuts handy?

Update. I had the Yokos replaced at the rear of the car and the noise has gone. They must have gone blocky. I put Good Years on and they are much quieter. I didn't realise before but apparently 4 decibels doubles the noise. The GY's are 68db and a big improvement. The brakes are not binding...

Thanks for the replies. I will clean and lubricate the rear brakes at the weekend and let you know what i've found. I'm on a Honda warranty so better not solve the dpf issue until it runs out! I like Goodyears so will fit them in the coming weeks.

Hi all, I've just bought a 62 plate 2.2 iDTEC Accord with 22k on the clock (my first Honda). I am seeking opinions on a few things. Overall its a lovely drive. i looked at several Mercs and BMW's while searching and found the Accord to be the best ride of them all. I am slightly disappointed...
