I did reread my own post. You twisted it to patronise me. I said I thought it was the FF, but the RAC engineer confused matters which is why I asked here to make sure.

Changed the FF. The car is back to normal. :) Stick to the servicing guidelines. Change the filter every two years, on time. I thought I could get away with it.

Reread what I wrote. I never said it wasn't a FF issue, I'm going by what the RAC guy told me. I told him it could be the FF, but he dismissed it. I have a FF in the boot, so I will get that changed today and see where we are at. I will report back.

Hi folks, the car has been struggling to start from cold in the last few weeks, but it started instantly when warm. Today it didn't start from cold. The RAC guy said it was likely a fuel pressure pump problem. The EML was on as well. I haven't changed the fuel filter in 2.5 years... he said...

Used a pair of pliers. :D

A year on and I'm sill running the Accord. If I do change, my shortlist: BMW 330d (previous mark) BMW 320i (latest mark) Golf GTI Civic 1.5 Merc A Class 250 Audi A3 190bhp My pref would probably be the GTi. Civic is the best value. Lots of toys.

Thank you. Now, the problem is that I can't get the flipping bulb out. Tried turning the plastic housing counter-clockwise and it doesn't budge.

Hi, which replacement bulb do I buy for the third brake light?

Give Honda a call. I had mine done about two years ago for free. Worth a shot.

Have you changed the batteries? Was it working before the battery change? Tried the spare key?

Thinking of changing to something smaller and faster... ...But it's hard to justify replacing my Accord. It just works. It's a great all-rounder, no problems with short journeys, perfect on long journeys. Great on fuel. Comfortable. Has the gadgets you need. (Folding mirrors is an option on...

Everyday driving in the FK2 is not so good if you are driving on harsh roads. Fine for smooth motorways, but if you want the comfort on bumpy roads, then I don't think this is the one to buy. It's way better in the new one because it has "comfort mode" which makes it ride like a normal civic...

Looks like I'll get the oil changed. :)

Since the last major service, I've done a grand total of 4000 miles. :D I'm thinking I shouldn't bother servicing it this year due to the low mileage which has been a mixture of urban and a/b roads -- the car sounds and drives fine. I have had it serviced every year, but I don't see the point...
