Another saga in the quiet accord. I think the soundproofing has just highlighted issues :D At speeds of 20-30mph over smooth roads there's quite a clear low frequency pulsing noise. It was the same on uniroyal tyres and the new dunlops so it's not a tyre issue. With the windows down it seems to...

I noticed something was "off" when I was cleaning the car. I heard a squelch when I put weight on the floor near to the sill. Took the carpet up and spotted this; Full length from the firewall to the passenger seat is rusty. Foam is also soaked: What I don't understand is the carpet is...

First of all - I run the same tyres on all four corners; Uniroyal Rainexperts, 195/65/15s running at the correct pressures. Here's the rears, almost good as new; And um. The fronts! Again - identical tyres, of similar ages and mileage replaced in pairs. The front left is the same as the...

My accord is one of the quietest cars I've ever owned. But it's still got the problem whereby Japanese cars are tested on nice, smooth roads and neglect our terrible English ones so I'm going to have a go at making it quieter. I've done significant soundproofing before on my wife's Yaris, and a...

Hello, first post I've made here but I've just bought an 06, 2.0 saloon and I'm loving it except for a weird issue; If the windows are 100% up there is more wind noise or if it's wet more wet spray noise. If I tap the window-down buttons to nudge the windows down a bit they seem to grip the seal...
