I don't believe that what I'm proposing is at all unreasonable. People all over the world paint their own cars and they're happy with their results. I expect it to be hard and I expect to get it wrong, but I also will eventually get a decent result. I'm happy to spend the time learning how to...

The bonnet was bought from a scrapyard, it's the wrong shade of silver, has a couple of dents and a lot of stone chips. I don't believe that anything I do to it could make it much worse. The bumper has a crack in it which needs repairing. I'm not paying several hundred for repairs on a car I...

Long story short, I had a mishap and now I need to repaint my bonnet and bumper. First question is stupid, but, if I remove the chrome trim on the bonnet, will I be able to put it back on without a problem? Also, if anybody could point me in the direction of a step by step on what paint etc...

I'm pretty sure it's smoke. A lot of resources have stated that if it was caused by condensation it should stop within half an hour of the engine running. It doesn't. I've also been comparing to other cars I've seen driving about and there is significantly more white smoke being emitted from...

Right. I've had an ozone generator on it. The dog smell has completely gone, for the first couple of weeks all i could smell was ozone, after that faded I could still smell a distinct sweet smell inside and outside the car, so I came to the conclusion that it was leaking coolant. I was still...

'No warranty on a cracked manifold on a petrol, it was a known issue on the diesel only. On a petrol model, rather than manifold being cracked, more likely that the gasket is blowing' Just thought i'd keep it all to one thread. If it's the gasket, how would I be able to tell? I really want to...

Yeah, I discounted the refrigerant though, as it was my understanding that the air con would have to be on for the refrigerant to realistically leak at a noticeable level into the cabin. And I usually just have the fan on hot. I also thought the ticking sound was consistent with a cracked...

Hi, is this going to be virtually the same for a petrol engine? Is there any way to get 100% confirmation that the manifold is bad before i rip it out?

2.0 petrol. I think it's a cracked manifold.. I've been feeling worse and worse as I've been driving it. Almost falling asleep at the wheel. A friend mentioned CO poisoning so I did some digging. The day after I bought it, the engine made a ticking sound on a cold start. (Still does it every...

Is it just the CDTI covered by the extended warranty? I'm pretty sure this has happened on my petrol. It's not within range age wise but I was hoping they might subsidise it slightly..

You know what, I get the feeling it may be the smell of the disinfectant that remained in the system after I cleaned it. The coolant level's too full to realistically have even a small leak.

Okay, so I've noticed that I'm still having slight breathing issues after being in the car, and when I open the door after a journey I can smell a sweet smell. Am I right in thinking this could be coolant? The engine temperature is fine and the heater still works. There is still a slight smell...

Well thank the lord. And more importantly thanks to everyone who replied. :) I found it. It's on the driver side coming out of the sub heater unit. There was in fact no blockage. I did have a hunch that any blockage may have been broken down by the disinfectant and cleared out by itself whilst...

Thanks for the tips Brian. Right okay, so here's where I'm up to. I managed to locate the ECU. Decided that it wouldn't be a problem spraying the evaporator. So I cleaned the evaporator and the front vents... Smell greatly reduced.. but none of the disinfectant leaked out of the AC drain, which...

Thanks mate, I actually have a copy of the service manual, but I still couldn't quite work out which one the AC drain was. There was a video posted in that thread I linked to showing the use of cleaner up through the AC drain next to the cat converter on an accord. I found a pipe in the same...

Can you please refer to this thread when answering this question? I've been searching for weeks and I can't seem to find an answer. http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/15-7th-generation/359689-help-urgently-needed.html Firstly I need to know where the evaporator outlet hose is, and secondly I...
