Averaging 27mpg around town which is very acceptable for 2.0L i-vtec.

Usually the file size is too large - I get the same when trying to upload a Raw file which has been converted to jpeg at the best quality option in my software. So you simply need to adjust either the image quality setting in your camera from say Fine to Basic(or whatever your camera settings...
Just fitted mine and the curvature of the windscreen (petrol saloon) just takes it away from the last 3" of the blade by 2mm or so when resting so no biggie.
Just discovered this thread - my old style blades need replacing and the flat blades look much better.
A bit of searching reveals Bosch Aerotwins 650/400 AR141S for £13.99 on ebay so I have ordered a pair - many thanks.
I watched youtube videos of the various stages which gave me the confidence to start.
I gave the car a good wash and rinsed off all the dirt thoroughly. Next you need to clay bar the paintwork - I used a £5 clay bar with a slightly more concentrated bowl of the car wash to act as a lubricant...
TBH I bought it to correct some scratches in a headlight where someone had used a scourer to clean it - I tried a light polish without much improvement then applied a more severe polish and that got rid of them leaving the headlight looking really good.
I'm not an expert but if the ns fw paint...
Just a quick review for the Guild Polisher - this is the Argos own brand name but I think it is also available under different names. I picked mine up from ebay for £40 but you can get them new for about £50 with 2 year guarantee.
The polisher is reasonably heavy which is OK for flat surfaces...
Model: Accord SE 2.0 i-vtec
Year: 2006
Mileage: 54359
Owned 1 month with the usual minor problems:
( I checked the MOT history before buying and there were no fails and only a couple of very minor advisory notes https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history )
Came with really scruffy hazy...
Confession time - I usually buy very cheap cars (<£800) just to potter around in but having prised the wallet apart a little more for my Accord I find myself with a decent paint job/bodywork for the first time.
So the car has been treated to a job lot of half-used waxes and polishes off ebay...
Thanks - I think the best place to start is with the boot shelf woofers/front dash tweeters and see what the resultant sound is like.
A quick google suggests that there is no crossover as such and instead the tweeters have a high-pass filter (presumably a capacitor) so I should be able to get...
I have the standard non-premium radio/cd with three pairs of speakers and am considering a very basic upgrade - I have grills in the rear doors ( with no sound so presumably no speaker behind) and am considering just adding a fourth pair of speakers.
Does anyone know if:
a) Is there a standard...
Newbie owner here - just bought a 2006 2.0L Petrol with manual gearbox.
The 2.0L has the "economy" version of the K engine (K20a6) so you don't get the full vtech experience but it is still nice and responsive.
Personally I'd wait for a manual to come up as I find the gear changing to be key...
Hi - I'm a cyclist and occasional motorist.
My Astra was getting a bit long in the tooth and the opportunity to buy a nice 2.0L petrol Accord came up - so here I am.
