If a car is Cat C/D, what is the difference in price ? Also will it be harder to get insurance in the future ?

There is some damage to the sill around the passenger door. My main concern are if the doors are replaced, will they ever be the same as factory fit ones? i.e. more cabin noise, panel gaps or possible water ingress with heavy rain. Its not captured well on the pictures but both doors have...

Hi all, yesterday morning while waiting at mini roundabout, my car was hit from the side by a car coming from the 3rd exit as the driver lost control. body damage is quite extensive I think the insurance company will write off the car, its a 06 plate diesel with 97K. I've had the car...

My throttle position went a couple of months ago - rescued by RAC. I tried the contact cleaner which worked for a few weeks, then same problem reocccured. Got a new one from Honda Holdcroft using forum discount. A bit cheaper than the price you have been quoted. Since fitting, car has been...

Hi all, I have been hearing some noises from my brakes for a while now. It only comes on cold starts. when applying the brakes when I first start off I can hear a clunking sound coming from beneath the car (feels like its coming from under my drivers seat !). This occurs for the first...

My prefacelift takes the CR1616 battery

It maybe the case with brand new keys, being opened for the first time, as I bought the spare and it was running on the original panasonic battery for the last 4.5 years. If you do a quick google search it appears to be a common problem both here and in the States. This was mentioned on the...

apparently from the forums this affects other models apart from the accord. Honda must be having some sleepless nights worrying about the screws coming loose and the key falling to bits while we are driving :) Some cheeky dealers have been known to charge unsuspecting customers almost the cost...

evening all, while we are approaching the season of goodwill and happiness I thought I'd share a nice tip that I discovered today. Btw I am a complete DIY novice. I ordered a replacement spare key direct from Honda some years back. The battery inside died last week so I ordered a duracell...

Hi, My 06 plate prefacelift diesel accord (80K mileage) has developed a fault with the VSA light coming on, a few days ago. I took it in to local Honda dealership in Chiswick and they diagnosed the Module is faulty and needs replacing, quoted circa £2000 :( I am thinking of getting a repair...

Hi, My side light (pass side) doesn't come on sometimes. Any ideas ? also I am due for a service (last major service was 1 yr ago), is HH forum discount code the same as before ? And should I change the fuel filter again (done about 6K mile since last change) thanks Umair

Hi, This may sound like a daft question. I have purchased some front wipers from HH. should the spoiler on the drivers side be above or below the wiper. the previous ones were some bosch universals. thanks

do you have the link for the how-to?

is it a long procedure to get the air out? From memory when he was replacing the fluid he was asking me to do various things with the brake pedal while the vehicle was hoisted up on the ramp
