By means of update, I wanted to share I opted to swap out both lambda sensors while I have the money and inclination (enthusiasm ;)) to do so. I bought NTK sensors from ‘Parts in Motion’ as follows: NTK Lambda Sensor 0277 - £109.82 NTK Lambda Sensor 0266 - £81.58 (Prices incl. VAT and before...

Thank you - sad to see how much havoc scrappage has wrecked on cars at this end of the pricing spectrum. This is exactly the type of car a new driver needs…but decent cars like this are very (very) rare and many of those those out there are **** piles.

Thank you both; you echo my own thoughts and those of mechanic and MOT tester. Trying the fixes in order of cheapest first, and as I have a pathological need to ensure my cars are properly and correctly serviced, I serviced it myself with all genuine bits incl. all filters and plugs as well as...

I think I may also be in need of a CAT as my Accord failed on emissions (high CO) - so if there are any recommendations on which brand/type to go for I’d find it helpful.

To be fair, the CO result is not surprising as the car does smell as if it is running a little rich. Have tried the old Italian Tune Up with a can of Seafoam into about half a tank of Tesco 99 fuel. I completed a 50 mile drive in third, revving to 4-4.5K revs at 65MPH, and it was retested while...

Forum, I hope to rescue and keep a lovely Honda Accord on the road with your help. My Accord was MOT’d and failed on emissions as follows: CAR: 1999 (T) Honda Accord 1.8i ES (Auto) saloon. Full UK Spec, un-modified/in-molested. Engine Code: F18B2E (I think) History: Documented service...

Hi Forum, I have acquired a 1999 (T) plate Honda Accord 1.8i ES (Auto) saloon for my son who has recently passed his test. We hope to DIY a lot of the basics ourselves and, thanks to the forum, we have already ordered a whole bunch of stuff from COX Motor Parts. As it happens, the car has...
