Howdy folks, Starting to look like I'll be moving on from the world of the Honda Accord, so I've got to decide how to go about selling mine. It's an 06 2.4 Type S. Got all the toys, 65k on the clock, full service history either Honda or specialists (I take it to ABP). Mechanically it's...

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't find a sticky. What oil should I be going for in an 06 2.4? I'm sure ABP put 5w40 in at its last service, but I can't find the particulars from the paperwork. This is just for top-ups between services rather than a full change, I do mainly...

Howdy folks, Right, random issue popped up a few days ago. The day judders/stutters slightly, both when accelerating and when coming off the throttle. Mainly happens in 2nd & 3rd gear, and mostly when the car is first fired up, once warmed up it seems to go away. Also, it's intermittent...

I ran over a screw last week ruining my front tyre, no biggie as they were about due anyway. Had Michelin Pilot Sports 3's fitted to the front this morning, so now have matching tyres all round. Question is, do I now need an alignment doing? There was no uneven wear on the old tyres, but...

Howdy chaps, I know bodywork quotes can vary widely from region to region, and quality of work. However, do these prices sound about right to people. All parts are removed, repaired, painted and oven dried: Front bumper - £200 Rear bumper - £200 Bonnet - £300 Happy with the bumper quotes...

Morning all, Right, my car - 2006 2.4 Type S saloon Firstly, from factory the facelift Type S is around 15mm lower than the standard model, is the only difference the springs? Or do they also have different dampers? Secondly, the 25-30mm drop mentioned from the A-spec suspension, I'm...

Car - 2006 2.4 Type S So, driving down the M1 earlier and the VSA and engine management light comes on, and the car starts to stutter when lifting off the throttle, then went into limp mode, no power when accelerating. So I pulled over when I could and turned the engine off. After turning it...

Is it NH700M or NH700M-A? Just looking at ordering one of the chipex kits to repair a few paint blemishes before I call in the chips away type people

Did Honda not offer the 2.4 in the Type S or EX GT spec?

Have the 7th gens been known to suffer from door sag? The last few times it's rained I have noticed my drivers door leaking, and it doesn't quite seem to line up with the back door along the top of the seal. Anyone experienced this before?

After some new shocks as my 06 plate Type S has just failed its MOT due to a 'serious leak'. I'm guessing the general consensus is to stick with genuine Honda parts? Bit miffed as its only covered 56k

Howdy folks, Just browsing around and I've noticed there is a new xcarlink system available: http://www.xcarlink.co.uk/home.php?cat=3 Claims that car control now work with apps such as Spotify, Google Play etc. Has anyone on here installed this new system and can they verify? I've been...

Sorry if this topic has been covered a dozen times before, if it has please feel free to point me in the right direction. Right, I need new discs & pads on my FL 2.4 Type S saloon. I've bought some EBC pads already, but I'm happy to sell them on and buy again if it's best to use some others...

Howdy folks, My car has recently developed a slight wheel wobble, it's not really noticeable until 60-70mph, but the wobble is more apparent under harsh braking. The pads are pretty low, and I've got some new ones ready to go on, but the discs also have a slight lip worn into them. So, is the...

Howdy folks. So, I have a CL9 saloon, but I also have a MTB I need to transport about the place. So, what bike racks are other cyclists rocking? I've seen the obvious Thule roof options, but tbh after purchasing the roof bars and then the bike rack they're quiet expensive, plus it seems it...

Howdy, yet more questions, but I want to make sure I get the right car. Anyway, the Satnav unit, how good is it? I mean, should I be letting the inclusion of the Satnav unit determine my decision on which car to buy? Or are they not that great and shouldn't really be a deciding factor? Also...

Howdy folks, New here and yet to own an Accord, just trying to get an idea of what's possible with them. So far from my research I've figured that the Type S is just a trim level, and they basically remove some toys from the Executive model and add the Type S bodykit and slightly different...
