    dim dip beams

    Get better bulbs like night breakers or ring xenon look. They made a big difference in mine and they are quite cheap online.

    Timing chain 2004 accord diesel engine

    I think the warranty is fair on this to be honest. In japan most cars are scraped at 10years old. I dont know of any product you buy that has 12 years warranty on moving parts.

    When to change the oil

    6000 miles if you can afford to that's my advice some do it every 3 thousand. It's really easy to do on this car as it has a little flap for the sump plug so no need to remove any plastic trim underneath. I Think the manufacturer recommendeds 12000 miles in the book.

    Oil Service '07 icdti 2.2

    I thought the advice on using 0 30 rather than 5 30 was to preserve the life of the oil chain which is known to stretch and cause serious problems. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've used exol 0w30 for the last 3 years and service at every 6000 miles I don't really keep tabs on fuel consumption but a...

    Clutch on its way out

    This is how mine started about a year ago now I can't drive above 2000 revs or it slips really badly and the car judders. I will get it changed when I have chance.

    Clutch on its way out
