Had another go but it's totally fused to the cylinder, even after grinding a notch in the side the c clip can't be removed. I've put it back on the car and ordered a new one, hopefully I can modify that one and swap them.

Checked my notes and looks like 46920-S5A-G06 is the one from the USDM car that will fit According to the internet this Exedy one looks to be a replacement for this part...

Thanks for that, makes sense it's just basically all one piece now as far as I can see!! Also found this video which shows it a bit more clearly I'll have another crack at it later, if all else fails I've seen a few people cut out a notch in the side using a Dremel, so I might have to resort...

I tried to do this this evening but for the life of me I can't get the cap off the CSC Am I right in thinking this should come off with pliers, revealing the c clip? Or does the c clip hold it on? (Mine is pretty rotten so it's hard to tell)

Duhhh!!!

Have you checked the fluid?

Looks ok in photos, on last MOT it needs 4x new tyres and front lower ball joints. I guess £500 in total if you don't fit ditch finders, but should last a while. The previous MOT the tyres seemed to be also in a bad state, so either they still weren't replaced or the knackered suspension...

It looks like there is a pressure switch that can also fail https://www.amayama.com/en/part/honda/80450s7s003 You might be able to get some codes read from the car with a code reader and/or Honda HDS dealer diagnostics (Honda diagnostic system)

This is the easiest way https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/accord-viii-service-manual-workshop-manual-esm-on-windows-11.26630/ 99% of it works fine following those instructions with the exception of some of the wiring diagrams - There is a link for a downloadable version somewhere but you...

Possibly not specific to an accord but some good ideas here about testing the sensors etc https://hondafitjazz.com/manual3/en/html_en/000000000001680.html

Not sure if this helps - from the workshop manual (ESM) - my copy only goes up to 2010 but I doubt much has changed for the facelift This is under "Rear Inner Fender Replacement"

Something that i've been wanting to do for a while is to fit the metal pedal covers that the Type S and GT cars got. In the UK our 2.4s were sold only with rubber pedal covers which look very "poverty spec"! Honda used to sell a "sports pedal cover" set but this has long since been discontinued...

My car is a slightly different shade of silver, my wheels are a "gun metal" dark grey kind of colour (not sure exactly as they were painted by the previous owner), look so much better than silver OEM wheels that were on before!

Can you record a video of the noise?

I was hoping this might be something that could be tweaked in HDS - back in my days of messing around with VW/Audi cars there was a "throttle adaption" in VCDS that you could use to change the pedal parameters and make it more aggressive. Maybe @F6HAD has some insight into this topic. I can't...
