Have a 2006 2.4 Auto Ex Estate with ADAS. It's not been driven nearly a month as the gearbox cooler pipe is leaking and the garage can't do it as too busy. Anyway Alarm kept going off a week ago so I used the keyfob to unlock it and just left it unlocked. Yesterday went to start and move car...

Doing some further investigation the boot lights go out when it closes and it locks OK with the key. Alarm went off last night for no reason which has never happened before either.... I dont know if thats connected

Hi After changing the ATF how does one reset the automatic gearbox ECU and make it "relearn" with the new fluid, as I'm sure this will alter some of the parameters. Wil disconnecting the battery for a few hrs do it ? I also have a Buetooth OBDII reader for my android phone and TorquePro app...

Hi Can anyone tell me an online supplier for both the ATF fluid (DW-1 now ?) and the gearbox filter. I can't get to a dealer in working hours. Cheers David

Been trying to fit a new battery to my accord as the old one is not holding a great charge. All the battery guides, eg Yuasas product guude, Halfords Website, and all the other battery-supplier websites say it should have a 075. I promptly ordered a Yuasa 075, and it doesn't fit. - Too wide...

Hi Trying to buy a space-saver for my 2006 2.4 auto Tourer (facelift). I have seen quite a few advertised for "7th Generation accord" on ebay - Some are marked up with the actual wheel-size 5x114.3 D16 - Is this the correct size, and do all the 7th Generation Accords fit this size ? I did...

Hi Need a new battery for my 2.4petol augo tourer. The recommended fitment 075 battery is a woefully small 45Ah capacity nd I want something much heavier duty. I notice the 2.2diesel cars have 096 battery listed which is much meatier. But will it fit ? Dimensions are larger notably longer and...
