Yup, bottle full and headlights on.

I have a couple of very minor (I hope) faults to sort out on my Accord. Firstly the front interior overhead light cluster has stopped working. Both central light and map reading lights are not coming on. I had read that this was run off the same fuse as the sun-visor vanity mirrors, which are...

I'm planning a bit of a change around of the fleet at home and due to an increasing family headcount the priority is upgrading/upsizing the family transport (wife's car). My Accord is to be sold or p/x'd to provide some funds toward the replacement. This works for me as I need to buy something...

Not sure per tank, as I usually put 10 gals (45.5 litres) in mine each fill-up as a check on real mpg vs that suggested by the OBC. I've done about 12000 miles since I bought the car last July and the dash says 34.4 mpg average. My calculations give me roughly the same result - ie 340-350 miles...

Just to ad to my post above - the lights are now extinguished. Hooked up to a different diagnostic computed it was apparent that a sensor needed calibrating. With this done all seems well.

Just found this old thread and thought I'd ad details of my current woes. Had the VSA/ABS light issue a while ago, which was diagnosed as a faulty ABS sensor. Sensor replaced and ABS light extinguished. However, I then have the orange /!\ triangle constantly on and the VSA warning 'bings' on...

Interesting, as the light was not on before it went in for the brakes work.

I hope so, but I haven't checked. I'll have a look tomorrow. Do you know what it should be?

That sounds like something I don't really want to venture into myself, having a phobia of vehicle electronics. Looks like more expense then! For previous poster - battery is less than a year old.

My 2.4 has just come back from (non main dealer garage) having a binding rear brake and failed ABS sensor sorted, but something else has cropped up. The guy at the garage showed me a screenshot from the diagnostics which gave code B1177 'abnormal battery voltage'. A yellow triangle light is now...

Upshot of this VSA/ABS warning was a knackered NSR ABS sensor. This was coincidental to the seized OSR calliper wearing the inboard pad down to the metal. So, new ABS sensor, new calliper, new pads = ABS light out. Hurrah! Now I have another light on the dash though - see separate post.

My 2.4 manual is showing 34.8 mpg over the 10,000 miles I've covered since buying it. My own calculations show this to be not far off. This is mixed driving - M'way + rural A & B roads. Some urban crawl, but a fairly small percentage. It's better than I imagined it would be.

Mine does this. I thought is was something moving about in the boot, but now suspect the ARB bushes.

Had a bit of a poke around today. It would seem that the inner pad has worn right down and there is metal to metal contact. The pads were barely able to move in the sliders, so I guess it was binding and not releasing properly. I cleaned up some of the corrosion on the sliders so that the pads...

Day off tomorrow. If it's dry I'm going to have a poke around and see if I can see anything obvious. Is it easy enough to remove the caliper and disc? Is there a step-by-strp guide anywhere? I'm fairly comfident with a spanner and have done brakes on other cars before, but haven't tinkered with...

Over the last couple of weeks my 57k mile 2006 2.4 exec has had an intermittent squeal/rubbing noise from the OSR wheel. I thought this might be something as simple as a bit of twig or stone caught behind the disc back plate, which may fall out eventually. Then yesterday the dash lit up like...

Not all execs come with HIDs it seems. Mine does not have them. :( Has pretty much everything else I could possible need though.

Ok, think I've found it. I need to go into the 'change setting' menu on the multi-function-display. Will give it a go tomorrow.

Great, thanks. As I said, it's a 7th gen facelift with premium sound/sat-nav.

I'm beginning to doubt that this works on a facelift 7th gen car. So the temp is on the multi funtion display on the dash - always displayed. I press and hold the reset button (the oneon the dash, not the steering wheel) while the ignition is off and turn the ignition to II while keeping the...
