The sat nav on my 8th gen failed earlier this year. Wouldn't boot. Fortunately it was still under warranty. It took six weeks to come back from Alpine. Unfortunately you loose the reversing camera and all the screen based audio controls. The radio, cd player and aux inputs still work but you...

Discovered this by accident when my finger slipped off the indicator stalk. Not sure if this is in the manual or not as my car did not have one when I bought it but... You can set the indicators into flash 3 times mode by doing the following use stalk to flash indicator once then let go (I...

Hi Karl, My problem started with it taking longer and longer to get the car started when the car was hot - strangely enough it would start ok when cold. That lasted about a week. Then the cold starting problem started. It was taking between 10 and 15 seconds of continuous cranking to get it...

Hi Karl , Sorry to hear that the pump didn't fix your problem. This is starting to sound almost identical to the problem I had. My local Honda garage also diagnosed a faulty fuel pump and within 3 days of having another one fitted the car started to struggle to start eventually failing to start...

Hi Keiron, Yes it does display a list of albums or artists or playlists. However there are a few annoying (to me) things about the IPod control. 1. When you want to change to another album the slection starts from the top of the list instead of the currently selected or playing album. 2...

I had a similar problem which was initially diagnosed as the fuel pump. I sourced one from a scrap yard for £190 and my Honda garage fitted it for £50 labour only. Unfortunately the fault was not the fuel pump. However I still have my original one which you can have to try if you wish. It's...

My 8th gen diesel auto gives between 41 to 43 mpg (daily commute dual carriageway and A roads). Motorway driving takes it up 50mpg. My 7th gen 2.2 diesel used to do 51 to 53mpg on my daily commute and 60mpg on motorways. The sixth gear in the facelift 7th gen manual and 8th gen manual makes a...

If you want a PDF version of the 7th Gen Accord Facelift Brochure PM me. It lists the differences between the various models. If anyone else is interested I also have the PDF versions of the 2005 Tourer Brochure and the 2005 Accord. Mods: Is there any way to upload the brochures and have them...

Nice :) How many miles are you doing a week? I am doing ~350 - 400 a week.

Had a similar thing happen last week. Was overtaking a lorry when the glow plug indicator started flashing and I lost all power. The engine cut out. Pulled over and fortunately the car started ok. The engine management light went off after 3 restarts later in the day. I had just filled up 2 days...

Latest version released last year was 3.40 or 3.41. There seems to be some confusion about the version number as I have seen both advertised for sale. The first number after the decimal point seems to increase with year. So this years version should be 3.5x if the numbering system is consistent...

As far as I know Classic Fm is for the other TMC data provider. The Honda one uses a selection of stations around the country. Some one posted a link to a map of transmitters for the Honda TMC on the Civic Forum but you have to register to view it. However here is more info: Trafficmaster...

Thanks for the info Dave. I have the saloon but I am sure that I read another post on the forum somewhere that said there was an aerial connection behind the passenger side boot trim. I'll have a look at the weekend. There is something fixed under the parcel shelf but I am not sure what it is...

I believe that there is a separate aerial connection for the TMC. Is it possible to get at the connection near the rear window or is it a case of dismantling the dash.

I would have to say that any time I have used the sat nav it has always done a good job! It seems that lots of people on here don't seem to think much of the sat nav.
