    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?

    08 Accord - HFT password reset?

    When you say you tried '0000' - do you actually just say it. I've been trying to figure mine out, bought last weekend and like posts here, when I press the button it beeps then asks me for the security code. I tried saying "0000", but after numerous times of it repeating some random number then...

    Tyre pressure

    I was checking mine this morning, as the front right looked a little soft, "Half Flat" I think I read somewhere up there ^ does about describe it. Both front were reading 29, but right definitely looked a bit softer than left. I stuck them up to 35. I've usually run my cars on 30 - 32. I'll...

    7th gen Accord - Please advice

    I've only had mine for 2 days, so maybe a little bias and excitement about my opinion. I have to say the Ex is amazing, I got the 2.2 i-CDTi and I absolutely love it. I (My wife) have a dog and being more sensible than I am, my wife suggested I wait until we found a Diesel tourer but tbh, I...

    Welcome to TypeAccord

    Heya, Brand Spanking new user here and new owner of an Accord, I've had it all of two days. Nice to find what looks to be a good UK community and resource to read, chat and hopefully help with my life as a Honda Driver. Now... where's that "problems" thread... :unsure:
