    Noisy Power Steering ?

    What do ye make of this, a prev perfect 2000 Honda Accord was parked up for 3-4 weeks, started it today and steering was heavy and very noisy, making a mmmmm machinery type noise which escalates at full lock.

    lamda oxy sensor

    Thanks for that skhell - So is it correct to say that I need to visually inspect to confirm this? - Not familiar with the territory at all if I'm honest! Wouldn't be confident of knowing what to look for and making the right call?

    Hi there - might I just add my 2 cents? - Not particularly in this instance only but for others who might find this discussion through a search in time to come etc. - I bought a 2000 SE Exec a few years back, the BOSE head unit might be thrown in the back of my attic somewhere or else it was...

    LEDs on Climate Control display panel?

    Thanks Crespo - So if I understand correctly with these guys you can tap into any nearby 12V wiring such as the cigarette lighter and light whatever you like without worrying about whether or not the LED is getting the exact 3.67 volts it is spec'd for...... Nice one B)
