dr_broon Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Ahh, damned rust! Did you manage to get the paintwork on the roof sorted after the bike rack incident? Surprised the arches have started to rust though. Is a lovely looking car and stunning cars inside these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 That is a shame. See loads of them with rusty arches round here. Maybe try and replace it with another while there cheap. I expect tidy ones will soon creep up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 That's gorgeous. And will likely be mint underneath. Price tag reflects it tho ay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E10 is utter crap. Destroys rubber fuel lines, damages injectors...........no wonder the gov is loving it. They get older cars off the road (so helps them meet their totally unrealistic emmisions limits), they get tax on all the cars going in for repair. Win win for them as usual and all part of the plan to force us into EV's. The refurbed injectors with the stainless steel filter sound good though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
