Well they seem to have fixed themselves, so all is good. Thanks all

Well spotted Channel Hopper! There's still some useful stuff in the threads to get me started

I have the same problem and I too am looking for a solution - shame you got no responses.

Thanks for that Channel Hopper. The headlight washers have worked a couple of times over the last few months, but usually they don't - but it got through its MOT recently :-) I'll spend a few hours working on it sometime soon.

Many thanks treboRRRR.

We had that very cold spell a few weeks ago and I had to drive, and found that my whole washer system had frozen. I tried it several times, expecting it to thaw after a short while, but it took more than an hour before it started working. Now that things are back to normal, the windscreen...

Update - My Honda main dealer has fitted new calipers, discs and pads @ £1,060. It is driving beautifully and generally feels more spritely, so I'm keeping the car and I bought 4 new tyres today. Service and MOT next week (by my local garage), so all is good. I am 'in discussion' with my...

That's what I thought too - will do.

Stellamon - you are absolutely right. I shall be asking the Honda mechanics to confirm that the discs run 100% freely before they reconnect the flexible pipes. I think I am starting to clutch at straws though - the N/S rear disc got to >300°C yesterday after 5 miles at 50mph (the slowest I...

Thanks all. I am hopeful that the expensive new Honda calipers will do the trick, but they won't be available for a couple of weeks. If they don't work, I guess new hoses will be the final thing to try.

No, it's being done by a Honda main dealer. They recently did a 'diagnosis' of the brakes (£104) but couldn't find any reason for the calipers to be sticking. They hadn't come across this before and could only think that the cheap replacement calipers might have some sort of manufacturing...

In case anyone is following this thread, we test drove a Civic Tourer SR (uncomfortable ride), a HR-V EX (quite nice but a bit big), and a Jazz SE (quite nice but a huge step down). Our Accord, going to and from the dealer, was by far the best drive of the day. I was offered £830 for...

The discs are not changing colour. I think I can feel them binding sometimes when I'm at a standstill and I take my foot off the brake. It's an automatic and I don't think it creeps forward quite like it used to, but I'm not entirely sure. I too have been wondering about it passing its MOT...

Grayedout - The garage was adamant that the hoses were OK - maybe something for the next place to check out. My local garage said they were aware of the protrusion that you had pointed out (one of my 12) and they preempted me saying it wasn't there.

Thanks antdad. I took a list of 12 points to my regular local garage to be checked, following the advice on this thread and after speaking to Honda service department. My local garage ***ured me thay have checked all of the items and more They have had the car 4 times now, finally saying that...
