    Transporting Push Bikes.

    Eventually got my roofbars ordered up, delivered today. I'll get them fixed on and be off exploring on my bike this weekend. Delighted - cant wait! I've done the routes within a 25 mile radius of my house to death. went for these ones from roofbox

    What sort of mpg do you all get on your diesels?

    When you get stuck in a queue of traffic behind some moron doing 35 - 50 on long straight country roads, about 45mpg. People who cant hold a constant pace should be shot. All this needless braking and accelerating! At one point on a mile long straight, we came on to the straight doing about...

    Playing mp3 cd's in a standard head unit?

    Yeah burning via Windows Media player as an Audio CD, will give you tracks in a std audio CD format. You'll get around 15 - 20 tracks on a disc depending on song length etc and the nav unit will read this. You can also burn mp3 via windows media player but would get hundreds of songs on a disc...

    Check ABS...

    Just had Honda on the phone. They advise that the message on the MFD is just a pre-start system check. Which I'll accept. Although they suggested that the beep I am hearing is the seatbelt beeps, so I had to advise them that I realise there is a seat belt beep, but this stops after 4 or 5...

    08 Accord - HFT password reset?

    Ok So it's not 3333 or 1234. I got it booked in for them to check out my warning light on Wednesday and mentioned that I need to get the Hands Free password sorted too. I didn't see any mention of it in the manual or handbook.

    Check ABS...

    I've got mine booked in on Wednesday to have a look under warranty - so I'll fill you in on their findings. However it has changed, the warning still beeps and flashes "Check System" (on every start-up) bit the icon on the LED display has changed from ((ABS)) to (( ! )), brakes I think this is.

    Check ABS...

    This rings a bell, I have been checking out the trip computer settings too. Furthest I went was looking at my limiter settings which are set to 30 / 70mph. I've probably hit some random button combination that turns on this check without knowing it.

    08 Accord - HFT password reset?

    I had a quick scan in the handbook but didn't see anything. need to have a more thorough look tonight, a few ales while I browse the manual can only help. I expect it's the previous owners though.

    08 Accord - HFT password reset?

    I tried two yesterday - so it's not 0000 or 9999 (imaginative guesses I know!), clearly that narrows it down quite a bit. I only have another 9998 combinations to try. My next attempts will be 3333 then 1234. Or maybe I should just call the dealer. :)

    08 Accord - HFT password reset?

    Well my password isn't '0000'. Still Ed, your tips worked I can now get it to recognise what I am saying rather then blurt out random numbers. She (it) actually apologised to me, "I'm sorry". I replied with, "you will be!" ;)

    Check ABS...

    Heya folks, I've had my Accord almost a week now and I'm sure this only started yesterday. I certainly haven't noticed it before then. 2006 i-CDTi Ex Saloon. When I start up, I get a beep, the orange 'i' lights up beside the engine temp. The LCD says in orange writing CHECK ABS. This is a...

    08 Accord - HFT password reset?

    Thanks, makes sense. I was getting confused by the timing of it. Push the button, it beeps, then asks for the security code. So I was saying 0000, it'd then do nothing so I pressed the button again and it spoke out some random number, then said it was the wrong number. I'll give it another...

    Transporting Push Bikes.

    Cycle carriers is definitely something I want to be getting. Roof bars are my preferred option but I think they'll spoil the look of the car - and I presume they're pretty much a permanent fixture? I have the 2006 Saloon. Anyone got any pics of one with Thule / Halfords / Other Roof Bars fitted?
