NOBODY IN THE WORLD HAS PARTS FOR A HONDA ACCORD.

THEY DO NOT EXIST.

It's only a sodding indicator stalk.  I do not want to junk the car for want of it.  I am giving serious thought to asking Honda to take my two hundred pounds in exchange for a nice new one please.  Fuckers.

i tell myself it's cheaper than buying a new car.  and it is.  just.

Have you tried the scrap car place in Bolton, they've always (well twice) had the parts I was after.

I know you are saving up to buy a house. I know you do not have much job security at the moment. I know you keep crashing them into things and breaking them irreparably...

But have you ever considered getting a good car? One that works and does not keep breaking?

I've considered it ... it's the repayments that get you though.

And I'm saving to buy a house. And I don't have any job security. And I wan't to wait until I stop breaking them before I get one that doesn't break...

Try looking for parts for a Triumph Acclaim.

It is the same car, rebadged as a Triumph.

Are you sure? I know they started their relationship with Rover in the 90s, but I didn't think it was that early.

A cursory websearch suggests these parts will be as hard if not harder to come by. Unless you know different?

Did you ring Pimholes in Bury?

I could find no such company, sadly.

I have thus far found exactly one scrap merchant in the entire country with any kind of Accord, and it was a few years too new - they were of the learned opinion that it would not fit. I am angered that car manufactureres do not use standard components for something so insignificant.

Is there no Honda Accord Club thingy you could join? I had to join such a thing in order to be able to get easily sourced parts for my car. The garage I used to use occasionally asked me to get a hold of parts from there myself since they couldn't find them. They generally have ads from people breaking up cars too.
