Did the dealer you bought it from advertise the car as having parking sensors? If so then you are entitled to working parking sensors on your car. Have a look at a copy of the advert for the car and go from there.

I am in the same boat. My car is 10 years old and my wife wants to replace it. I want to keep it until it dies..... It has done 160k and is still going strong. She just wants something new as it is perceived (by her) to be safer even though she doesnt even drive the Accord. I wonder if this...

I am also suffering tailgate issues that might be related to those microswitches you mentioned. I have taken the tailgate apart but dont really know what I am looking for would you mind explaining where exactly they are and what they look like? Thanks, Simon

It turns out I did need new wheel nuts as the standard Honda ones have a round seat whereas the wheels expected a 60 degree taper. Still £15 on ebay for some new wheel nuts wasnt bad. Simon

Yes it was a good price, I was willing to go quite a bit higher on them to be honest. I bought some spigot rings and have now fitted the wheels, they fit fine. I will have to have a look at the wheel nuts though, although I think they seem to fit fine. I will have to measure them up for the...

I just bought these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181300542678?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I think it should be just a case of buying spigot rings to convert 67.1 to 64.1 and they should then fit right on. Can I just use my existing wheel nuts? Also do you know if it is...

I have had my 2004 Tourer Sport for a while now but every winter I get the same issue and I really want to try and fix it properly as it is getting annoying now I have a baby around....... Sometimes when the air temperature is cold (down near freezing) and I shut the boot it doesnt 'catch' and...

I am in the same boat of looking for wheels for winter tyres. These links may be useful when considering wheels sold as fitting another car... http://adaptitusa.com/referencebook.htm http://www.wheel-fitment.com/PCD/5x114.3/67.1/ It looks like Mazda 6 rims would fit a Honda if you also bought...

I never did get round to cleaning the microswitch. The issue happened again today but this time it jammed open so that whenever I shut the boot it didnt 'catch' shut. I got the WD40 out but that didnt help, then I remembered this thread and I disconnected the battery for 5 minutes and now it...

I always look at reviews on http://www.goodgaragescheme.co.uk when I move to a new area and need a garage. I found a good one in Bromley who replaced my injector, now I am in Maidstone I have found another one using the website.

I have measured my MPG manually quite often since I got the car in 2008, the worst ever was 40MPG when the rear brakes were seized on, the best was 56mpg when I used Shell Ultimate on a motorway run. I tend to do long runs on the motorway at legal speeds though... You dont have a roofbox...

Thank of the boot handle just like any other door handle, they all only work when the car is unlocked with the blipper. Correct (if by 'electric opening thing' you mean the boot opening button on your keyfob), because the car is locked. Yes Probably best you have a play.

Could be a binding brake caliper. My discs were VERY hot the other day because my brakes were stuck on.

I fitted my tow bar, it is the cheapest one you can buy from Towsure. As for the wiring, I dont tow a caravan so dont have a twin plug system but cant you just power the extra socket from the wire that feeds the boot cigarette lighter socket?

Its about time I posted back about this. I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and when I reconnected it it all worked fine, thanks davemazo. When it gets a bit warmer I will try cleaning the microswitch as well. Thanks for the tips.
