The 16 year old Craftsman I "inherited" at my new house in the spring of 2023 bit the dust earlier in the week, one of the front wheels broke off due to the deck breaking at the connection point. At a different time of the year I might have been inclined to attempt a makeshift repair, but it's...

New to me 2020 Civic Sport Touring has what seems to be an extra "duckbill" type piece added onto the stock middle spoiler. From what I gather these are generic sort of things such as this and this from Amazon, attached with double sided tape. There are no visible fasteners on my car so assume...

My 2006 Accord EX-L, unusual model with most of the good features and a manual, was totaled in an accident yesterday. Had 225k miles and ran great, supremely reliable. Dude in the red car pulled out in front of me, I had somewhere between 0 and 1 second to react and plowed into him at about 40...

Hello everybody, My family is moving into a new-to-us home in 4 weeks. About quarter to a third of an acre. In Maryland, DC suburbs. Grass is OK, not great. I haven’t had a lawn to take care of in 20 years and then it was just mowing the grass at my parent’s house. Need some advice on the...

My 2006 Accord has developed a squeaking sound. Seems to be coming from the accessory belt area. For some time it's made some squeaking noises upon startup, but in the last couple of days it's been more steady. It seems to go away once the engine is above 1,500 RPMs or so, when I press the...

I was on vacation visiting a pair of college friends and their kids who are living in Florence for a couple of years. My buddy recently got a Ducati Monster, so we thought it'd be fun to get me a bike for the day and ride around the Tuscany countryside. It's been almost 7 years since I sold my...

2006 Accord 4 cylinder recently got a CEL with code P0325 (Knock Sensor 1, Circuit Malfunction, Bank 1 or 1 Sensor). No driveability issues or obvious pinging. Research suggests most likely culprit being the sensor itself, so I changed it out this morning (I found the "method" for doing so...

Arrived home from a week out of town late last night to a hot house (88 deg) despite having our neighbor cancel the hold earlier in they day. The air handler was running but not the outdoor unit. Thank god it was in the 70s last night and we were able to air the house out enough to sleep. First...

I've had subscriptions to the three major car mags (R&T, C&D, MT) for a long time, good for throne reading 😁 Road and Track recently changed to an every 2 months, "premium" type, larger format, thicker pages, higher content to advertising ratio. I was pretty skeptical when they announced it but...

Hello everybody, have a problem for which I could use some suggestions. I have a bath vanity that I need to remove the top from (long story). The top is marble and is glued to the cabinet. Photos attached. I have tried a few things already. Razor knife, a mini hacksaw, and an oscillating saw...

My MIL took her 2010 RAV4 to shop a friend uses for an oil change. Came out with $1,000 worth of work (a story for another thread) including a new valve cover gasket. She picked it up yesterday morning, drove to work, and arrived at my place last night complaining that the car sounds terrible. I...

Good morning everyone. There's a chance I may be parting with my 2006 Accord so am starting to research replacements. Must be a sedan/hatch/wagon with a manual transmission, decent feature set, and would like a stronger engine (previous car was a Saab 9-5 Aero so the Accord's been a huge step...

Wanted to see if you guys had any thoughts on a problem my 2006 Accord is having. Occassionally (like a time or two a month) over the past several months, the car will momentarily lose electrical power if it's idling and the AC compressor kicks on. It doesn't happen all the time and I don't...

Yesterday I did a drain and fill of my 2006 Accord sedan's coolant. It's an EX with leather, 4 cylinder, stick shift. After the fill I had the engine running, it got up to temp, fans on, and then I switched the HVAC to Hi heat. No heat. Cold air out all the vents regardless of temperature...

Looking to get a 2nd Fire HD 8 Kids version, $130 from Amazon, $95 NIB from a handful of eBay sellers. Multiple thousand feedbacks, 99%+ ratings. Assuming there's no counterfeit issue, is there any risk here? Warranty-wise this would be no different than having received it as a gift? jeff

Looking for some advice on how to address the issue seen in these photos of my 2006 Accord. I am not terribly concerned about getting a "factory" or even close appearance, I just want to get rid of the bubbling paint and rust and use whatever combination/sequence of products necessary to...

I have a 2006 Accord with about 155k miles on it. Sometime last summer I noticed an occasional metallic squeaking or rubbing sound coming from the front driver's side wheel. Definitely on account of rotation, sometimes would change in tone or intensity when turning the steering wheel, and did...

Just gotta put a thread on the record for my team - Villanova with as dominant a run as any team ever. Woooooooooooooooooo! jeff

Howdy folks, My 2006 Accord (EX-L, 4 cylinder, stick shift) has ~142k miles and I suspect is in need of some new mounts. There's a pronounced clunking/jerking when getting on the throttle and some occasionaly "bounciness" for lack of a better word from the drivetrain. Looking at the parts...
