Hi, I hope its okay to let people know my very nice 2005 cdti saloon is for sale at the reasonable price of £680. The car has a brand new MOT and the ebay item number is 115543528271 My location is TD15 1HN ... that's Newcastle/Edinburgh area. Cheers. Tim M

Thanks F6HAD, that's a shame. Tim M

Hi All, Can anyone tell me if the rear doors of the hatchback version of the MK 6 are the same as those on cars that have a boot lid? I'm looking to buy a replacement nearside rear door for my hatchback Sport and wondering if a door from a car with a boot will fit. Thanks in advance for any...

Could it be as simple as the child lock being in place? I think on each back door they are implemented by way of a (white?) tab on the latching mechanism on the closing edge of the door. Tim M

Dear All, I've just acquired a 2002 Accord type S and I'm new to this forum. I need some roof bars for a single trip to France. Does anyone have some for sale, or could anyone recommend non-Honda bars that fit in the roof channels, or could someone hire me a pair for two weeks? Thanks if you can...

Many thanks, I'll bear your suggestion in mind. Tim M

In our London neighbourhood we are having a spate of catalytic converter thefts. Mostly from new hybrid cars it seems, but I thought to install something preventative on my 2005 Ctdi. A few questions: Does the car have a tilt sensor? (!) If not, can anyone recommend one that I can buy and fit...

Thank you very much, I will take a look. Tim M

Hi, I have a Mk7 Accord but my sister has a 2002 Accord Sport. The exterior windscreen rubber on her car seems to have shrunk in the upper left and right corners and therefore peeled away from the groove that it sits in. I'm thinking the existing rubber is too distorted to use again, but I...

No, I'm referring to the rubber trim that surrounds the windscreen on the outside of the vehicle. This is a link to the part: https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuine/honda~molding~73150-s84-a02.html It might be a very simple job ... remove the old one, clean out the recess, push in the new...

Yes Matt, it could be! Tim

In case it helps ... When I was struggling to free some injectors in a Civic engine the same clamp bolt snapped. I took the head to a trusted engineering shop and the fellow there told me that what he often does in this situation is to drill out the entire hole and re thread for an 8mm bolt...

Thanks folks. I agree with Matt that the arm rest in relation to the steering wheel is fabulous. When I discovered that the arm rest slid forward to create that perfect resting place for my left arm I praised Honda to high heaven! I find the lumbar support perfect as well so no problems with...

My 2005 Accord ctdi has done nearly 160K. I've only driven 1000 miles of that. I'm wondering how the driver's seats wear, in general. Mine looks to be in great shape, (it's the suede design, not full leather) but it feels like the seat is not fully supportive at the base of my spine. However I...
