Cheers Fahad, Car runs ****** awful now, no oomph. :( But then I feel better about whoever ends up with the car not having any awkward questions to answer with their insurance should it come to that. All I can say is that the stage 1 remap is an essential upgrade for any Accord diesel owner...

Fortunately Fahad is fairly close today so he's offered to reset to stock FOC. Top bloke that he is. Apparently a Galletto will do the job and it's fairly easy to do if you have a copy of the original map.

It's been part exchanged but I still think that it's probably for the best to return to stock settings.. Unfortunately if it needs Fahad I'm unsure if I will be able to get up to his before the car goes.

Guys, It's time for me to leave the joys of accord ownership behind. Due to a recent promotion I've been given an allowance and told to get something newer than the Accord. So I started a search and found a particularly nice 12 month old Civic EX GT that I agreed to buy at the weekend. This...

Well f6had made a generous offer to run a diagnostic on the car, and as he's only an hour up the motorway I thought it would be a nice run out and might answer a few nagging queries. He didn't think the clutch was slipping significantly, although I will certainly be keeping an eye on it...

Right I've had some thoughts about this. I was originally considering changing the Accord at the back end of this year or early next year, which does tend to make me think I don't fancy spending too much money on things. But taking the worst case scenario if I change the Air filter, Fuel...

I think I will give HH a call as I did get the car from them but ultimately clutches are a consumable item and the car is out of warranty so I don't know how much they can do at this stage.

What's the Honda Happiness price for a new clutch these days?

It's just shy of 50k miles and I believe it's on the first clutch.

Yep. I hear the revs rising and see that reflected in the rev counter. A few moments later the car seems to realise that the engine is outputting more power and that it needs to do something about it.

OK taking it in turn The fuel filter was replaced by Holdcroft back in 2010, while I never saw the filter I have absolutely no reason to doubt they used anything other than Honda parts. Last oil change was in Nov 2011, the mechanic knows Accord diesels and has one himself. I'm sure that a good...

Hi I've noticed a few issues with my Accord Diesel recently and was hoping you guys could offer some suggestions as to possible reasons. Up until about three months ago I was doing regular long runs on the motorway and was averaging in the mid to high 40's to the gallon, due to a job change my...

Is the dvd drive that special? From the front it looks like pretty much any other PATA drive from a pc.

As the lack of reversing sensors is one of two things I dislike about the Accord - I'm inspired bought the scotchlok's ordered the reversing sensor kit off ebay and found a video on removing the bumper it's American but it looks identical to my bumper - perhaps some of the wiser members of...

I dont suppose it mentioned a passvort did it? Not yet got mine to stop talking like a german dominatrix yet.
