    Two small faults to rectify...

    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...

    Sell privately or p/x

    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...

    Code B1177, abnormal battery voltage

    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...

    VSA/ABS Check warning

    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...

    External temp sensor - over optomistic

    I'm fairly certain that my external temperature readout is a bit optomistic and by my reckoning is reading 3 or 4 degrees high. Can these things be calibrated or adjusted? Could it be a duff or even just a dirty sensor? Where is the sensor on the 7th gen?

    'Ticking' clutch?

    What is it that makes a 'tick' noise when I depress the clutch to change gear? It sounds like an electronic switch/relay type noise as opposed to a mechanical click. Only noticed it for the first tome today and it does it on every actuation of the clutch pedal. Odd?

    It's arrived.... my new steed.

    The waiting is over and this morning I collected my new 2.4 EX. My first Accord and my first Honda. The drive home was a leisurely run up the A38 and saw 40mpg over the 65 mile trip. Not bad at all, but I don't expect to get anywhere near that on daily commuting run. Since getting home I've...

    Options list?

    Can I find out (using VIN or something) what options were specified/fitted from the factory when new? This is possible with BMW, but don't know if other manufacturers do the same?

    So what should I expect with from my 2.4?

    Been doing lots of reading here after agreeing a deal on a nice 06 2.4 EX, most of it good encouraging stuff, but then the odd comment that raises a little concern. So I know what sort of mpg to expect and I know that if I really want to extract the best performance from it I need to access the...
