    Advice on buying 8th Gen Accord

    that 2.0l looks smashing! its £1500 more than what i have to spend tho! You may be right with the petrol vs diesel argument. I reckon if i went for the civic 1.8 - id see around 35 mpg average. Im guessing the accord 2.2 dtec a touch over 40mpg average??? does that sound right to any diesel...

    Advice on buying 8th Gen Accord

    Thanks for that. That ex models a bit too much brass for me, i think i prefer the GT spec though. I cant have a 2.4 petrolagain, cant afford the fuel bills! The car although scottish plate, is actually been serviced down in gloucester mostly so ***ume its kept down there. A Clark arent the...

    Moisture on fog lamps

    Yes :( mines due to a crack in the top tho, only way to get rid of mine is to replace the whole unit :( . There was a recall on the 7th Gen some time ago to fit 2 aluminium clips on the top of each unit, which i think strengthened the seal or something. Have a check?

    Parts Website

    Its a good point CJ. Although there does seem to be an option for "standard" and "auto" transmission ??? Do you think it would make a difference being LH drive as well? In theory shouldnt it be possible just to flip it round? (im not that nechanically minded :blush: )

    thats a cracking price, i hope i can get similar deal. I was told by one scrapyard owner how he loves getting honda's in as he can sell nearly every bit of it guaranteed. Ive already popped my detail into cvjoints, so hopefully will get something back :)

    time to replace my driveshafts

    thanks al, i wouldnt say it feels major at the moment, the honda technician who drove it said its far from the worse he's dealt with, he was telling me about this one accord where he was driving it on roundabaout at 20mph and struggled to keep control of it! He reckoned i could get away with...

    time to replace my driveshafts

    hi all, had some issues a while ago, with the whole car shaking when accelerating, puzzled me for a while to know what it actually was, tho i figured it was something in the drivetrain. Gradually it was getting worse so finally went to the local main dealer and they confirmed it was the...
