Hi, The VSA light and warning triangle came on today...I've read the forum posts about the vsa, but am still a bit unclear. Fisrtly, does it need to be a Honda dealer that can run a diagnostic chack and will the check cost? Secondly, is the general consensus that it could require a replacement...

Hi, have any of you guys noticed your CDTI being hard to start with the temperature dropping? Mine started today, but took quite a long time - normally it's on the button. Just given the car to the Mrs, as she has a big daily commute and hoping this isn't the start of a problem? Cheers Andy

thanks nodrogs - i'll keep an eye on the cold weather starting and if not, I think it might have to go for a checkup iat the garage for the air in the system!

Hi, I've just moved house and the last couple of nights, parked my car facing up hill (not steep). It normally fires straight away but the past 2 mrnings has turned over more than usual before firing. It also seemed to kick out a bit of smoke after starting. Sometimes if I gently boot it in...

I topped mine up a couple of weeks ago (0-30) - this was the first time since it's last oil change about 8k ago - so can't complain about oil consumption! :-)

Well, I've ordered some bulbs off ebay and had a trial run at removing and refitting an existing bulb - what a hassle! The bulb was patchy with an opaque covering - they've probably been in for years. Ended out disconnecting all the wires and pulling them free from the circular cover (that goes...

Hi, I've been looking myself - don't know if this is helpful? It isn't the tourer, so no good for me, but if you have the saloon? Anyhow, just trying to return all the help I've had lately. Andy...

Hi Crespo - this looks great! For that price it's got to be worth a go! I think the alignment is ok - they are just really dim. I've just been out looking for the wattage - is it on the 'bulbs' themselves. They seem to be in a rubber holder - I'm guessing you just pull them out of the plastic...

Hi Hole, I found this - i s this what you had in mind? http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=hid+kit+for+honda+accord&_sacat=See-All-Categories Does it not need the lights renewing as well - sorry, but i'm clueless on these lights. Also, is it a fairly easy DIY? Andy

Hi Steve, Here's a link - more than happy to provide a image for you! Andy http://andyaughey.freeiz.com/

Thanks guys! replaced the sidelight bulb - no matter how gentle I was the clips broke :-( - but that should be a quick fix from Honda. I've provided a link to some pics of the xenon light unit - http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_aughey/?saved=1 Do you think it's possible to put new parts in to...

Thanks Brett that's really helpful. I ***umed the lights where a factory option - is there any way to tell? Andy

Hi, Can anyone with HID Xenons tell me if they fade with age or just die? I've read the threads on the after market upgrades but couldn't find anything on 'originals'! Mine are really dim and don't really light up the roda too well, whereas main beam is fantastic. Is it possible to re-gas them...

Quick update - thankfully its just the tyres! Swapped them round and now it pulls to the right just has badly as it pulled to the left. After reading one of the tyre forums, I'm going to get rid of the rogue continental (s) and get some of the highly recommended Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's. I'm...

54.7 (Diesel Estate) on a run from Manchester to Torquay - it hasn't got a mpg computer so I filled it up logged the miles and filled it up again and divided lites/miles. Fantastic!

Hi, I'm noticing a little clunk when setting off in 1st gear - almost like the drivetrain shunt on my old landrover - wondered if anyone has experienced this? Also it pulls pretty bad to the left - i don't know if this is related - n the motorway it will go round gentle right to left bends if I...

Well, it's had the castrol 0/30 treatment and I swear it's running quieter today - I couldn't hear the usual turbo whistle this morning or evening when it was cold :-)

Hi Simo - my turbo already whistles (more when cold) with 5w/40 - hope 0w/30 won't affect it????? Andy

Thanks F6HAD! Andy

Oops - I just checked again and it's actually 5/40!
