Bridgestone A001 All Weather tyre £69 each inc fitting. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Bridgestone/A001.htm

Thanks guys. I phoned Honda back just to clarify things about the oil and they said they made a mistake and 0w/20 is for petrol engine. I said "Oh....so you must use 0w/30 then?........ "No...we use 5w/30 for diesel engine" says he. I think I will go to Suzuki get it through the MOT first then...

Need a bit of advice. My Diesel Honda Accord is 10 years old now and the MOT and service is due early next month. The local Suzuki main dealer is offering me an MOT + service (using 0w/30 oil) including gen Honda parts all in for £119. He also said that if I buy the fuel filter ( has not been...

I am not the only one then :D I got the bulbs, 4 for £12.99. Put them all in and they are working great. Much better than the old ones. No doubt about it though, the Dipbeam where the washer spout is a right pain to replace even with the help of Matt's pictures to help. I dropped a bulb in the...

No mate. Like you say I just saw that two prong adapter and thought it was a different type of bulb LOL. :blush: Auto Bulbs Direct have a Special Offer H1 Ultra Power Bulbs 50% More Light £5 for the Pair. Or H1 ABD 12V 55W Xenon Ice Blue Bulbs £8.99 for the pair/£12.99 for two pair. I may as...

Oh yeah I see it now. I never took the bulb out I just saw the two prongs (No 6 in the diagram. The socket bulb) and thought that was the end of an H7 bulb. The H1 which has 1 prong fits into the Socket bulb which has 2 prongs. Thanks mate. I really should have made the effort to investigate...

I have owned an 05 diesel Accord sport saloon for the last 5 years. A bulb has blown for the first time (Dip) and According to the manual both the Dip and Main light bulb should be replaced with H1. Managed to get the Dip H1 bulb out (thanks to Matt's brilliant instuctions) but on checking...

I have had my 2005 Honda saloon sport 2.2 diesel for 5 years and it has 106,000 miles on the clock. Payed Cloverleaf Honda £2600 plus my W reg Honda Shuttle as part ex. If Honda UK hadn't helped out for the cost of repairs I would have got rid of the Accord ages ago. I have had warranty work...

I recently got 4 Bridgestone A001 all weather tyres from Tyreland/Protyres. Formula 1 also done a price match. I paid £70 per tyre . Total = £280 all in.

I put some flat wiper blades on my Accord once. Had to go back to original ones as they would rattle at higher speed. The only other anoying rattle that took me a while to find was the one on the rear view mirror, which just needed tightening. Hope you find yours.

Sunny day to day so I took the plastic cover off and cleaned all round the injectors. Started the engine and noticed where the silver metal fuel pipe nut connects to the first injector a very small leak it was like air and tiny bits of spray but hardly noticable. I put some kitchen paper...

Edge - The smell inside the cab is there all the time at idle and can get quite strong. With the circulation on it seems to go away. I took the plastic cover off but there is no obvious sign of leaks from the injectors but there is a smell of fumes which is hard to tell if it's coming from...

Jayok - I hope it is a simple manifold seal and not injector problem. One would think a Honda Main Dealer would know what they are doing.........wouldn't they?. :unsure: :) Edgeoftime - The manifold was only done a few weeks ago by HMD and won't cost anything for diagnosis and if it is manifold...

I have had the timing chain and injectors changed (under warranty) just over a year ago on my 2005 diesel Accord by Honda Dealer (1). In November I noticed the strong smell of exhaust fumes through the air vents in the cabin. I took it to Honda dealer (2) who diagnosed a cracked manifold which...

I have had turbo failure on a company Ford Transit going along a motorway. The sound was more like a ping followed by a whistle noise rather than a pop. I drive (for a taxi company) a 9 seater second hand 2008 Ford Tourneo for Private Hire work. Great for airport runs, School contract runs...
