So just took the old injector to a place that services/tests/cleans them that was recommended so I can have a spare (that might need to be fitted sooner rather than later as another one seems to be on the way). Turns out I know the fella there's, so we were having a catch up. He was saying that they're having loads of honda injectors through... Like loads every week! He was showing me some photos of what happens - there's a plastic filter in the injector mounted from the top, and the new fuel makes it disintegrate, so all the plastic and bits of crap end up blocking the injector. He was also showing me some results of a set he'd tested this week - there was a misfire on one cylinder, but when they tested the injectors only one was okay, and the rest were all about the same level of poor performance. When they repair them they use stainless filters so should be much better. Bad crack this E10

Doesn't it just... At the minute I think I'm leaning toward importing an odyssey. The accord is slightly too small for family adventures... There's some well tasty ones about... https://www.japanesecartrade.com/4721437-japan-used-honda-odyssey-van-minivan-2009.html Though would have to hope that one could be jacked up on the coilies for camping adventures Would still need to smarten the accord up to sell though.. But then would be tempted to keep it then... Need to see how sound it is underneath before chucking money at it really.

There's not many manuals with the 2.4 lump, and very few type S ever come up. There is a lovely jap import one at the minute http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202209019323496?atmobcid=soc3

Nah, been waiting to get it in the body shop.. Everyone's so busy at the minute. Not sure what we're going to do to be honest. Think they all start to go at the arches. Such a shame that Honda's are so prone to rust - especially with all the salt on the roads up our way.

No, can just get them separate. Can't remember how much the last one was - think I've blocked it from my memory to avoid the pain... Think it was around the £200 mark though. Just ordered a used one off ebay for £25. Worst case might be able to get it restored. Think I will anyway and keep it as a spare. Feels like it's almost the end of the line for the tourer, with all that's happened this year, and the rust on the arches. Shame, coz it's a great car.

Another injector bites the dust...

I guess it's a right off? Such a shame man. Was it the fence that did the damage? Pleased everyone's okay.

Nightmare! Hope you're okay mate.

Fecks sake! Can't help with the question unfortunately, but what on earth is going on there to make that happen? Must be something not right somewhere for it to fail twice so soon?

That's good to hear, I did look at the bilsteins, but had really wanted adjustable, but it's great to hear that they're much stiffer than standard. Let us know how you get on with the spring plate.

Just been reading this https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/technology/near-zero-emission-rotary-engine-could-extend-life-ices Sounds amazing - be good to see them start being used.

She's keeping you on your toes for sure mate.... Good that she was up for the run down to the lakes though - love it over there.

Don't know any details, but the tax check says it's been SORN'd and MOT ran out last year.

So fresh. It's nuts as well, coz it's not like Japan don't have winters. Was talking to someone at glencoe the other day who does the ski season in Japan, and he was saying its crazy how much snow they get. Yet no salt on the roads.

I've always been wary of them (and all the other websites that seem to be the same) - think they're based in Germany or something. Good that you had a good experience though... Might be more tempted to try them next time.

She's going to be a beast! Think you're right to go for drivability though. That motor should help with that though eh.

Nice Any idea where you think it'll get?

Hope that's it mate. Where'd you get the sensor from in the end? I think I had mine cable tied on tubs for about 10 years

Got your parts out for the lads there mate Take it there's a trip to dynodaze once it's all in?

Was having a look the other day - is it for eg? Don't do FB messenger chief. Okay to post it here though

You've been busy again! Like how it's looking at the moment mate, quite suits the evo spoiler. That handbrake cover looks smart, is that an eBay job? Might have to look into that.

Spot on chief

Looks good mate - does that display on your phone?

Had a night away camping with just me and the missus, so that meant small tent, not as much stuff, and no one to go in the back seats, which meant the deck could be the chariot Cue obligatory campsite pics (ignore the dirtyness of the car though - so dusty) Was like old times taking the deck camping - great
