Well we are almost 2 weeks later and no sign of the engine check light :) :) :) well the new owner hasnt contacted me anyway!! must of been the lack of oil that it didnt like. :rolleyes: cheers for all your help to date chaps, but for now ive entered another realm that of a Vx owner -...

Yay I feel lucky!!! Unbelievable!! i always check that ive left nothing on the floor whenever i leave where ive parked and on my driveway....nothing! but i will check sump-plug. Another 10 miles today and no light! Yippee! cheers to all that helped and encouraged! geoff.

OH.... MY..... GOD .....!!!!!! I got home last night after watching the light come on yet again after the exhaust change - left it an hour - unplugged the dip-stick only to discover it needed more than just a top-up - there was nothing there!!!! In shock i got my prized Silkolene 5w-30...

ok no probs. im a bit confused about this. ive just spent out a replacement exhaust as it fell off (!!) and the light hasnt come on since i cleared it using my scanner. im gonna check the oil when i get home and maybe top that up and hopefully the light will go out and never come...

Sure is; its the only code that came up. i have a pic if i knew how to upload!

Hmmm..... Been doing some digging arround about this, came up with this hit. Admittedly its from the US but i ***ume the lumps are the same if not similar: http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1485884 Anyone got any ideas?? I havent checked my oil level to be fair, i have some left-over...

Hi James, did cleaning the EGR plate work? as i now have this exact same code?? (I have already cleaned the EGR valve and this code still comes on) cheers. Geoff.

Ok chaps; the code it came up with is P1259 01/01. My scanners's reference guide doesnt list this code! and when i got in the car, started it up and the exhaust had fallen off !! so gotta go get this replaced anyway :-(

OK noted will do. Thanks!

Hi thanks for the reply, its a 1.8L on a 2001 which has done just shy of 115k. Thats handy to know. i dont know where the lamda sensors are positioned but the blowing seems to be coming from the middle box area. Ive now got my little scanner thing so i am going to check that at lunchtime! ive...

i think its in the passenger footwell somewhere. i have to do the same so hoping someone with some knowledge comes back and confirms :-)

Hello everyone. My engine light is on - could it be anything to do with a blowing exhaust ??? A couple of weeks ago my Engine Check light came on when I was on the M4. After a few days it went away, so I thought it must of been a random one-time occurence! Then at the weekend all of a sudden...

Surely somone out there in Accord-land has had to re-align thier lights at some time???

Yeah i agree, im gonna buy the Honda bulbs on this occasion, and if i get brave enough i may entertain LEDs.

Can i ***ume i got this wrong then ?
