    P1065 - Low Fuel rail pressure.

    Had the glow plug light flashing and limp mode occur recently and it caused me a little headache. Thought I'd share here as the problem I had required a different solution to seemingly everyone else who has seen this error code (that I can find on the internet) Standard remedies are; 1) New...

    (Unknowingly) The most JDM thing the wife's ever said.

    I did get her into a Honda 10 years ago, and they're all she's had since.... https://imgur.com/gallery/rsyxj

    Speed limiter?

    Does a 7th gen have a speed limiter? Had an opportunity to max the car out in a safe environment a little while back, so did so out of curiosity. Accelerated pretty well to 220kph, then just stopped accelerating, even the transition from level ground to a slight downhill wouldn't change it...

    What song makes you drive too fast?

    Planet Rock obviously think that this is a question for 7th Gen Accord owners.

    For Freddofrog.....

    As I was under the car today...... 2004 CDTI Tourer has Ate calipers up front. They're also meant to have more meat on the pads than that too. ;)

    Today I have been mostly..........new intermediate driveshaft fitting.

    Been putting this off for ages because I hardly use the car any more. Not too bad a job, as i got it done in 2 and a half hours, but then again, I didn't stop for tea breaks. 1) unstake the hub nut and remove it (with the wheel back on the car and on the ground. I use a BFO 3/4" drive breaker...

    Diesel bashing thread! (Only kidding - pros and cons discussion)

    A place to let it all out.... This debate regularly crops up, and having been both side of the fence I can appreciate the pros and cons with both vehicles. In our little fleet we currently have 2005 FRV 2.0 V-tec (150hp) 2004 Accord 2.2 I-CDTI (190ish hp) For me, the pros and cons aren't...

    Does it always seem like you're fixing your car?

    Admittedly, my accord has taken a hammering over the last 18 months. It always seems like I'm fixing something, so I've just looked back at my records. The amount of parts I've thrown at over the last 18 months is pretty horrific. Oct '15 - 149k - Snapped Oilpump chain - Fitted used N22A2...

    Spring(ish) cleaning

    The accord really needed a bath, looked like I'd done the RAC rally in it. Been a while since it's had a wash admittedly. The old dog still scrubs up alright. Going to have to tackle the inside at some point. :( Anyone else got a winter's worth of luck to shift?

    Intermediate driveshaft options?

    Swapped out the driveshafts in the tractor over the weekend and cured the vibration between 50 and 70, however there's wear in the half shaft splines meaning a new one is in order. (I can move the half shaft a tiny amount relative to the new o/s driveshaft cup) Do I have any options other than...

    Rear wheel bearing change - Gen 7 Tourer

    Thought I'd do another report as its such a simple one. No need to go to the garage for this one as it's nowhere near as scary as doing a front bearing for someone with limited experience. You don't need much in the way of tools either. Axle stand Mallet 14mm socket / spanner Philips...

    VSA removal / install.

    Use the headlamp removal guide to remove the offside headlamp. (Undo Phillips screw in each arch, remove plastic front panel trim, pull out top of front bumper, 4 bolts in each headlamp) Undo the bolt holding the top of the washer bottle in, and pull the top out. Undo the aircon line to front...

    7th Gen HID kit - Any experience?

    I'm looking to upgrade the naff lamps in my 7th gen as I do a lot of night driving. I've done a bit of reading here, and it would appear that retro-fitting a suitable HID kit into my existing projector setup would be an acceptable mod provided they're set-up correctly. I'm not looking to...

    66-01 VSA light fix

    VSA light? Don't know what you're on about mate? Be thankful for tinted dial gauge covers, a satin black background and a gauge ***embly that just clips apart. Total time: 15 mins. (Good vids on YouTube for removing the gauges) Top tip: lap the tape up the gauge fascia onto the surrounding...

    7th Gen - What have you done today?

    On the forum I came from, this was always a great thread, be it simply pictures of a clean car, a brake pad swap, or a full motor overhaul. A day late, yes. Over the weekend I replaced the following: (All front end) Upper track control arms Lower Control arms Rack ends Track rod ends Ball...
