    Airbag Light, Steering Wheel Controls not Working

    The saga continues. So finally I got the timing chain replaced (under warranty) from the engine centre but I've got the car back and noticed that the airbag light is permanently on and all the steering wheel controls are not working. Looking around on this problem, it would appear that the...

    I've started noticing a rattling noise coming from the engine on my 2005 CDTi. When I start up, the rattle is quite loud for about 1-2 seconds then it settles down to sounding like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25DRM4Tcp0U The oil levels are fine, there are no warning lights (engine...

    Rear Brake Calipers 2005 Diesel

    Looks like both of the calipers need replacing on the rear of my Accord. Was wondering if anybody knew where to get hold of cheap calipers. I've been quoted £70+ for one caliper which I think is a bit excessive. Anybody know of any cheaper sources?

    DPF and Oil

    De-Misting Windows

    10w/40 Oil in 2.2 Diesel Accord - What Damage?

    Car Won't Start

    Was on motorway tonight and heard a bit of a knocking noise from the engine. The acceleration appeared to be sluggish and eventually it lost power and cut out. Now it won't start and the engine light suddenly displayed as I was trying to restart it too. Any ideas what this could be? Timing chain...
