    VSA

    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...

    slow starting in cold weather.

    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

    dim HID xenons and sidelight bulb replacement

    5w 40 oil

    Hi - back to the much discussed engine oil! I have booked in next Monday for a service which includes 0w/30 oil and a genuine honda oil filter. However, it was serviced 8k miles ago using 5w/30. I read that this is a big NO,NO and am concerned! It's like googling a stomach ache and an hour later...

    heated seat switch bulb replacement

    Hi - only a quick question. The light in the heated seat switch doesn't work with the lights on. The small red one comes on when the switch is on, but not the one linked to the lights. Is it possible to pull it in bits and fit a new bulb or is a new unit from Honda? Cheers Andy ps - does anyone...

    anti roll bars

    Hi, I just collected an 04 diesel estate and was checking around and noticed that a bar on the front suspension isn't attached at the top. I think it is the anti roll bar ( as i just went on ebay for something else and by chance it came up when I typed 'honda accord') - it is about 4 or 5 inches...
