There should be no problem fitting a larger battery on the same charging connection. It it can be done in mobile phones and laptops then a car alarm will be no different.

My tourer has had a leak in the hose ever since I bought her, losing around half the reservoir every six months or so. Is yours a serious leak since a fiver a year for the fluid for me is worth the hassle of replacing.

The type of exhaust emission is important when it comes to diesel v petrol, most of the rules fleecing the motorist (at least around here) are down to particulates.

Strange that it is significantly higher than the I-ctdi diesel 2.3 litre.

Why would/should the management system be registering the rail as a fault in a non-cold start situation (ie. winter condition) when it is not a winter start? Genuinely interested.

The Accord (well my Tourer) had a double earth run, joined for some reason with some superfluous bracket and bolts under the battery tray. There is a thread on here I posted a few years back After removing the linking brackets/bolts following a no start at a client's address (nothing else to...

£395 ?........................................ Is that a typo ?

I've rarely, if ever used the motor lift system on my Tourer. I would however look closely at the alignment of the tailgate around the rear wing indicators, moreso if you have seen any warnings flash up - even momentarily - on the right of the dashboard. As before, disconnect the battery...

A shame, buy mine. Rot free and with new clutch.

Before leaving at the garage, take the car out for a few miles to get the engine up to temperature, then a few flying starts to burn stuff out of the exhaust and turbocharger. I believe a bit of engine braking will also help remove deposits on the turbo vanes,

Thanks, I 'borrowed' the number plate on the car to check the ULEZ site, I had some intel that certain i-dtec Hondas were Euro 6 but it looks to be only smaller capacity models. I'll pass on the offer and pay the £265 for another year in the Mk7 tourer now seeing - if correct - the government...

Quick question, are the VIII Accord diesels ULEZ exempt ? I may have a link to a seller nearby , logistics says no in the long run but family and winter not far away I am going to be hard pushed to justify taxing the old jalopy at £265 for the next year if a replacement Mk 8 can bring back...

As has happened to a neighbour, his car in the driveway for two months whilst on a cruise. Somebody cloned the plate on a similar vehicle and went on a speeding spree three counties away.

I would edit the video to remove the reg no, since the car does have an MOT

Good, start them young.
