Raining all day (jealous) its been blooming hot @ H6 HQ, although little rain this evening which has cooled things nicely, didn't get everything done though, 14 hours ago, Lennie Legend said: Genuine Honda parts, can’t beat em. ? Not a fan of all Genuine parts but it can make life easier if you can still actually get them, still waiting for new shock absorbers to arrive KYB ones in fact for the Accord Coupe they fit perfect and priced more reasonably too, then I can fit my new genuine bump stops. 14 hours ago, PTR200S said: Did you get it all done , Stu ? Is the dizzy difficult to get to ? Or are they plugtop stuff ? The dizzy is easy to access, although I did damage it, so gave up replacing the bearing and both oil seals and ordered a couple of used accord ones off fleebay and intend to make one good one and have a couple of spare ignition coils in the oddy spares bin... 14 hours ago, PTR200S said: Stu, have you got genuine floor mats in Ody ?

Yes, I have the Genuine mats Pete, very different to the Shuttle mats and I would suspect the same for Elysion having a different seat positioning? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know on the 800s, the springs were made by Lesjofors and the OE shocks were initially Monroe and then changed to Delphi but given the 800 is so close to the Legend and as far as i'm aware, the Legend used KYB shocks........... They would be my first choice if i needed to replace any shocks now on the Sterling, the Volvo already has a full set of KYBs - definitely good shocks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted July 17, 2018 Author Administrators Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 They have used various manufacturers over the years most common is SACHS anyway Amazon has only just dispatched them MOT expires tomorrow no point taking it in till I'm all up to date with everything plus the coupe is stretching his legs so no rush Amazon, although I would like to go fishing this decade... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted July 17, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Don't you just hate it when the advert says (UK stock, immediate dispatch" and 3 weeks later they suddenly decide to despatch them? Couple of things i've bought on ebay have been like that lately, "UK stock, immediate dispatch" - ordered 10 days ago, turn up today in a "Royal Mail 24hr" emblazoned Jiffy bag! Maybe it's immediate dispatch from when they get it into their warehouse but they fail to mention the week it takes to get from their supplier to them! ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted July 19, 2018 Author Administrators Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I feel dizzy, both used distributors arrived today and disassembled then reassembled the best one with new seals & new bearing, new cap & rotor and running well.? Next job replace the front shocks and swap the wheels, a couple of DIY topics to follow soon.? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted January 18, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Fresh Valvoline ATF, although pleasantly surprised with the results from the lube guard additive with virtually nothing on the sump magnet. Also not forgetting my tried and tested 5W40 engine oil and some new Denso plugs, purring like a kitten... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted February 12, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Just ordered new rear shockers springs, bushes, uprated front capliers and standard rear ones all complete with new hardware i.e sliders, carriers even pads included all for around 60% less than eBay prices all branded stuff too, gotta luv the USA. 👍👍👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted February 12, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 11 hours ago, hughezee said: gotta luv the USA. 👍👍👍 I'd definitely second that! Needed a FPR for the Volvo recently, it's only shared with Pug/Citron, Renault V6 of a similar era (all pretty much extinct now), a Lancia (Thema V6) and a very rare Alfa and Porsche 911/928 models from the early 90s. As such, trying to get one in this country varied from guffaws of laughter to £500 in terms of response when i asked price and availability. R/A - about £15, on the shelf ready for shipping (S&H was about a fiver, currency exchange fee about £2, all in £22 or $26 until it got here. Then because it was a few pence over £15, i was charged 20% Import VAT that the Royal Mail collected on behalf of HMRC and charged a collection fee of £8 for the privilege! Ignoring the rip-off at our end, it was cheap and available and transformed how the Volvo was running! Definitely gotta luv the US of A! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted February 12, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Bit of a result there Dave 👍 and a quick FYI for those reading there's absolutely nothing wrong with my odyssey, in fact, it's running sweeter than ever I just want to keep it that way 😋🤞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted February 12, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Definitely Stu! Another little result was adding some ATF-U to the fuel tank - helped clean out the injectors and quietened the fuel pumps! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted March 22, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well since I had no chance of getting Mikes coupe ready for an A.C regas and service, I decided the odyssey was overdue its 2-year A.C service anyway why waste an appointment and a chance to catch up with the lads at my local ATS, although the new guy was hilarious and full of plenty of B.S of which the manager politely told him, Stu knows more about cars than us lot combined, so leave it 😂😁🤣 if that wasn't an awesome compliment I don't know what is. 👍 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
