Looking through the forum it seems most dealers like to prescribe the wrong grade so I won't be using any of them, I'll stick with my local independ6ent, I think. So can I expect any help from Honda UK over this issue? I notice that others have tried and failed in the past. I can also expect...

Hi Brett, this was at john banks in Cambridge and he was the lead mechanic so I didn't argue thinking he knew what he was saying. Having investigated a little more I can see that he was indeed wrong so that's the last time they will get their hands on my car. I find it quite incredible that...

Dunno if anyone still reads this thread, but my 54 plate diesel accord just underwent a major service at Honda. I took my own 0-30 oil for them to use only to be told that as my car doesn't have a dpf, the oil would be too thin and they only use that on later cars with them. They said 5-30 is...

Ok, just browsing through the service book and noticed that just about everything is done at 75k service which this essentially is, so I'll go ahead with it. Strange though how it was serviced so religiously then stopped suddenly at 54k. I can't help but wonder what happened. Lol, might...

Hi guys How often would you suggest a fuel filter change? I only ask because I have my beloved accord booked for a full service tomorrow, but looking.through the service history the previous owner had it replaced every 6 months on average up till about 20k ago when the trail stops. So should...

Ok that's fairly unanimous lol. Is it best to use genuine filters? I will get the parts and go see my local indie. Thanks for confirming it for me, how do Honda get away with charging these prices?

Hey guys I have been informed that there are many Accord owners in my neck of the woods (cambridge) and was wondering if any of you had used John Banks for servicing? They quoted me £210 for oil/filter change. Is that about right? Seems steep. Cheers

Ok thanks I plan on getting it serviced anyway. Any idea how much the parts cost? Will get my independent to do it, ill just give them the parts.

Ok, that has put my mind at rest a little

Afaik its the gearbox. It's there all the time its in gear. Especially 2nd. If I depress the clutch it goes away. Only when it warms up tho, I checked this morning.

Nobody has any idea what it is? I was thinking maybe it needs oil in it, or is my gearbox on its way out? Obviously I'm hoping its perfectly normal but I doubt it.

Hi guys. Appologies if this has been covered here before, i did a search but it came back blank. So another week has passed and another interesting noise has presented itself, this time as a whine i'm ***uming is from the gearbox. It's most noticable in 2nd and gets quieter in third and...

Excellent reply! I'm ***uming then that the mileage continues to increase with each bit of reversing I do? If that's the case it makes the total mileage on the car even better lol.

Hi guys Just a quick question. Should the speedo register speed while reversing? I only ask because i've never seen it before on any car i have owned previously. Thanks.

Yep, only when moving which is why I had trouble recording the noise. Ok, thanks I'll have that checked too.

Well the recording didn't pick it up. It's improves as the engine warms but doesn't disappear completely. Thanks for the help. I'll have my local check it over.

Hi Brett. I'll give it a go and post later.

Hi all Just purchased my first Honda. Nice car but I've noticed that when driving straight or turning right there is quite an audible noise from the car. Can't tell precisely where its coming from but when I turn left it goes away. At first I thought it was just because my engine was cold...
