or like my last carburated car 1/4 mile in 12 sec @ 108mph

yeah, nothing like trying to keep twin SUs or twin webers in tune :wub:

bring back the simple carburated engines..... :lol:

I just googled it, it seems diesels don't need to control the air intake....oh well, learn something new everyday :blush:

just out of interest, if diesels don't have throttles, what controls the amount of air the engine takes in ?

I still think it has more to do with injector 'on' time because if the MPG was calculated purely by throttle position, how could the system compensate for ambient temperature/ pressure differences ie. engine requiring more fuel in cold weather due to the air being denser? just my opinion...

surely it must be a transducer...possibly a diaphragm which is displaced with fuel pressure and this displacement is measured ie. more pressure- more displacement of diaphragm- bigger output signal

optional extra as they are mentioned in the owners manual. sorry just realised you said facelift...I meant on pre-facelift

Haven't seen one fail yet...they do have a bypass system built in just in case the impeller seizes.

as everyone else is guessing, allow me to add some useless trivia...In piston powered aircraft they often use impeller type fuel flow sensor which is usually fitted to fuel line down stream from the fuel pump....if the aircraft has a return line to the tank, another sensor is fitted and the...

I agree, I also recently bought tyres for my wife's car through Blackcircles. great prices that tyre places couldn't match.

Be careful with brake clearance...the early accords with 15'' wheels had 280mm front brake discs and later models (with 16'' wheels) come with 300mm brake discs. maybe they will fit..maybe not

Getting access to the bulb is actually easier than it looks although you may scratch your knuckles...it takes about 5mins to replace both headlight bulbs (on a petrol model anyway)

sorry to hijack this topic but does anyone have experience on the fog light kits on sale @ Ebay...the ones from US. my original fog lights have a condensation problem and particularly the OS fog light is now beyond repair (reflector corroded). it seems you can get this particular kit (2 fog...

just an addition...just found 7 bulbs kicking around in the glovebox. if anyone wants them let me know, and I'll pop them in the post.
