Absolutely, especially today, Fog all day up here in Galway, effing freezing.

well it turnes out it was a faulty thermostat. Got it replaced on Friday and all is nice and toasty now

thats decent, pity about the bodgery in the first place. Well my bit of gluing did the job, the trim is still attached!

Hi all, to continue with this repair, I got it finished today. Images below show the glue I used EvoStick White Turbo is the one I used, sets in 15 mins and fully cures in 24hrs. I used some rolled up bubble wrap to keep the gorilla tape away from the wind deflectors and paintwork. I'll know...

thats great, thanks for the update! What are ya driving now?

I knew I would find a thread about this on TA! Cleaned and polished the car today and the reg caught in the top of trim on the nearside and popped it off, the trim had been sitting proud for months and seemed to be just about held on. I getting that Evo glue this evening and will glue it back...

I investigated the area behind the heater controls and the little pulley looks intact. I also checked at the bulkhead for that water valve and it is moving to the Hi and Lo position

thanks bounder, ill consider them at the next change! I do a mix of R roads, motorway and urban driving.

never heard of Nokian Bounder, are they readily available here in IRL? what kinda driving do you do?

I know this is an old thread, but im gonna try this tomorrow. I have noticed over the last two weeks that there is very little heat coming through the vents on HI setting.

Welcome!

First car was an '89 Ford Escort 1.1, Then Toyota Corolla 1992 then I discovered Honda! '99 Civic 1.4 '02 Accord 1.8 '04 Accord i-CTDI '06 Accord i-CTDI Tourer Currently '11 Accord Tourer i-DTEC Type-S

I have a full size 17" wheel as a spare in my tourer, no probs!

I also did my front doors of my tourer, i used self adhesive closed cell foam panels and it took the empty sound out of the doors when being closed. I have been meaning to do other areas of the car but just cant get the time being a one car family!

Actually there isnt any difference that im aware of. The mat was there to begin with so the task was to stop the bonnet from flexing while washing and polishing and risk denting

Finally got around to repairing the underside of the bonnet. Fire resistant expanding foam sprayed intermittently to allow for proper expansion Heat and water resistant self adhesive closed cell foam for between the webs Heat resistant paint to rejuvenate the mat And some new plastic fasteners...

I would be happy with 50mpg, 37 is miserable though.

I think I need to replace the rear suspension on the tourer, actually I do. I have read on a few threads here on TA that the rear shocks/struts/springs are the same for both the saloon and tourer, is that actually the case? and does anyone have a DIY on changing them?

Just jumping into this thread, great DIY tutorial, i will be trying this for sure. On fuel consumption,im dissapointed in the high consumption v the I-cdti, i too am averaging about 37mpg to 44mpg over motorway and urban driving

Thanks for the offer bounder, i have pretty much all the tools and greases needed. I have done a few calipers now and i would indeed opt for a rebuild and have them done to eliminate future woes.
