  1. Check out a replacement part via EBay.
  2. As Trevor says, You can by-pass it, or, as it is on the low pressure side, you could bend up some 10-12mm tubing (can't remember what size off the top of my head) and make your own version. I did the same in 10mm aluminium tube work on a car, it was still there when I sold the car about 3 years later with no problems. It does not have to be an exact version, it could just be a 'U' version of the tube. I am told this is quite a common fault.
  3. Thanks Trevor, I did wonder, as from what I had seen, that they are all 'O' ring seals and no odd shaped 'handed' ones. I mostly see kits for American versions, usually the 2.3, 2.4 or 3.0 version, I wasn't sure if the versions in the US were the same dimensions as the Showa/TRW version used on the Swindon cars. Oddly, the power steering stop leak fluid, was my first method, but still seems to be coming out of the top of the rack where the steering column fits (steering box as we used to call it on older cars) I also know there is a discussion about the use of Hondas own type steering fluid over Dexron III, with the original seals. I suspect the new seals will be OK using Dexron.
  4. If this helps: Rack number is: 53600-S1A-E0 Another number on rack is: HVJE 23 N 024, I don't know if this is a manufacture date/line etc. Just an exploded picture of the seal positions/ shape etc would even be helpful!!!
  5. Thanks guys, Hope I can be of help or at least an amusing newbie!!
  6. Oh, I nearly forgot, also does anyone have links to a manual for this car, the only one I can find online is for the American versions (2.4 and V6). I was hoping for something a bit more detailed than a Haynes!
  7. Hi, Just a link to Hondas part numbering lists. For all UK models for part numbers. https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars
  8. Hi, I realise this post is a few years old but........... This is a good place to check part numbers for all Hondas https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars
  9. Hi, I have acquired a 2001 Accord (CH7, F20B6). It is a UK car (rhd) but registered here in Spain (where I live) It looks like I have a leaking steering rack, I suspect the last owner didn't use the correct steering fluid. It has a TRW rack and although I contacted TRW, they put me in contact with their Spanish branch who said they couldn't help because RHD!!! Same reason is it not easy to get parts from car scrappies, they only have the LHD version. Does Anyone know if there is a seal kit available for this? Is there a difference between LHD and RHD seal kits? if they are only round /ring seals it should not be a problem? I also may need the high pressure hose from pump to rack, again problem because of driver side. Getting stuff from the UK is now getting expensive, due to all the added charges from Brexit, so wondering if there is a way round all this! Hope you guys can help
  10. Hi all, New member,. I am new to Hondas but have been playing with cars and motorcycles for a lot of years. I live in Spain but have a UK RHD, Spanish registered, Accord 2001 2.0 Vtec (F20B6). I will have a few questions but will be asking them in the correct forum for the vehicle, rather than turning my introduction into a question fest!
