Checked with Bilstein and looks like can't have B6 or B8s on Accords with Xenons

Hi, Thinking about getting another 2.4 7th Gen. I would like to upgrade the shocks and springs if I get one. The B12 kit was lovely on my Mazda. On the Bilstein website it says they cant be used with Xenon lights due to the self levelling. Does this apply to all 7th Gen with Xenons ? Thanks

ah yes I remember that was only on auto on 7th gen. I would prefer a manual 2.4 but none in budget. Most 2.4s seem to be autos. The 0-60 is a lot slower for the auto not that I am that bothered. Does the auto have manual override for shifting ?

The only issue I can check other than the usual stuff on a car is the rusty sunroof issue. Any other common issues to look for ? Also, how do you check if the car has the ACC, LKAS and CMBS, is this an option on some trims and standard on others ? Thanks for the help !

Yes, around 3 2.4 Accords in UK at moment, may have to go dirty diesel

Hi, just sold my MPS 6 which I had a love / hate relationship with.. cost a bloody fortune to run ! Looking at getting something more sensible and quite fancy an 8th Gen Petrol 2.4 if possible.. a rare beast I know. Any common issues to look out for ? I have seen a few 2.4 autos just in...

thanks for the help ! managed to fix the original one in the end didnt do the twist, user error lol , all working !

the switch has had it , it works ok but where it goes into the white nut thingy there is no purchase so need to replace it. I guess should be fairly easy to replace though read a horror thread where someone didnt install it properly and ruined his brakes. I will try and find a new one tomorrow...

My brake lights are permanently on. The switch I think is broken. Is this just a matter of replacing the switch? Looks like the switch has come loose where is goes into a retaining nut thingy. Appreciate your help here ! This is the part I need to replace I think...

I have been using normal copper plugs for 5k miles and she runs fine on them ... so far :)

This guy is doing it for £55 on ebay.. might do it myself if I decide to keep the car. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CRV-ACCORD-CIVIC-SATNAV-Sat-Nav-repair-service-/172299960693?hash=item281de0c175:g:Ta8AAOSwZ1BXf1kj

Regarding the DVD issue it could be the unit and not the disk. You can get them refurbed for around £100. Mine has an issue where I get the disk read error straight a away. Then when the DVD player warms up after 10-20 mins it starts to work after reinserting the DVD. Probably a dry solder joint...

Fixed mine by replacing the air con relay, 2 minute fix

undo the wing liner thing, just a few clips and you can squeeze your hand in , not too tricky to do.

Could this be the ballast ? The car wont start now so guess battery dead :(

Hi Just replaced my xenon headlamp on passenger side . Sidelights works ok. Headlights on both sides flickers. Xenon on one side (new headlamp) flickers. Xenon on new headlamp doesnt work at all . Appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

Thanks for the offer Brian, will let you know if I need a hand, I'm hoping between my father in law and me we cant put it back together ok. I was thinking about the facelift bumper.. I guess my pre-facelift lights wouldn't fit ?

On closer inspection looks just cosmetic. So hopefully just need bumper, bonnet, wing, xenon lamp unit, upper left bumper bracket thing, fog lamp bracket but wont know for sure until I take the bumper off. I think I might just upgrade the fog lamps. Too much off a faff for me anyway to upgrade...

So drove into the back of a bus on way to work, clearly my fault. I'm thinking buy it back from insurers ***uming damage fixable. Looks like bumper, bumper crash protection thingy, wing, bonnet, headlamp. Appreciate your thoughts. Insurance company just want to write it off.

Hi, Will pedal covers off a 2006-2011 Civic fit my 2004 Accord ? These ones specifically, they look very similar to Euro R pedals but much cheaper. Appreciate your help. http://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk/genuine-honda-civic-5-dr-brake-clutch-pedal-cover20062011-p-4888.html Genuine Honda Civic...
