Hi Thanks for your replies. yes i have sold it to a gentleman from Scotland who will collect it next week. Really sad to see it go. I washed it at the weekend and my word what a lot of car for £650.

Did not sell on ebay. Surely its worth £500. Anyone interested?

Very smart

Hello I am selling my Accord SE. Its on ebay, here is the link - if this is permitted on the forum rules, if not, apologies. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272018059503?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 There is nothing wrong with it, well except if you have been following my...

Hi I am selling my beloved Accord and would like to offer it on this site. How do you insert images? Thanks

A source of confusion. I have a "6th generation" Accord - and yet it is called a Mk7 accord (in parts lists) and has a code number of CH7 in the VIN number. Was there perhaps a zero'th generation, Mk1 ? How does it work ?

Yes that would be an easy check. But they check this on the MOT don't they. It passed fine not too long ago. Still perhaps I will jack up the rear end and check. Thanks for you input

Thanks Pedro, just been watching the Youtube links. Yes mine does have port.

Thanks Brian. I did look at the plugs, but they appear a good color and not overly black. But that is a crude check. I guess its just a case of trying everything. I do keep the tyres pumped up hard and drive like an old man - I am an old man ! (61) and rarely use the VTEC. Thanks for the...

Yes correct - but they cost more. No Money. Accords are cheap, that's why I have one.

Yes I suppose it does all add up. I sold the other car because I was broke financially. I have been unemployed a long time and cannot get a job, apart from tutoring students during the winter months. I may have to sell the one I have now if I don't get some income soon. This is why I am so...

That does look good. I had a similar problem on my last one, but used fine wet and dry plus some brasso metal polish. It made a big difference, but not as good as yours - they are like new!

I think my clearances do need doing. I did check them, and they seemed OK, but it does sound a little tapety when cold. maybe i didn't do it correctly. Brian have you any idea how much difference it makes? The plugs are fairly new. Perhaps if I cleaned the plate and EGR, new O2 sensor and got...

Its the specification that matters not the label on the can. You can pay an awful lot of money out for oil, following the marketing hype. Of course if it makes you feel better, and you have the money, then why not. If you live anywhere near Chesterfield or Bolsover, I can recommend Aztec oils...

I think mine has two sensors, not sure. The front one that I cleaned did not seem too dirty. From further research, it seems that the EGR and ports, does effect mpg, some say between 1 to 4 mpg difference. They all say that over 100k miles EGR components do get clogged. Likewise, O2 sensors...
