Might have been a bit of a one-off, but Leeds and back, Preston and back, Grantham and back, and a bit of pootling around...............................49.67 mpg!!! And that's actual refilled fuel, and I wasn't really trying!!! Arf!!!

Derby to Manchester City Centre and back (twice, and cross country, instead of M50, M6), and a run from Derby to Skeggy and back - 44.5mpg. And I wasn't being especially careful!! I think Faddy's got a point about the VPower. It seems the Accord's ECU takes a little while to notice any subtle...

I'm wondering if the extra weight of the Tourer might make a difference to the Tyre characteristics? I've never driven one, so I don't know. I've got to say though, that when I bought my 7th Gen Accord, I couldn't see what all the fuss was about. I came out of an 01 2.0 SE, and was quite...

Nope! Not an F1 reference. I' ve noticed a few threads on tyre choice for Accords, especially for 17" wheels. I spotted that the pretty ropey Avon ZV5's, that my car came with when bought in Oct last year, had started to wear. I didn't really want to spend out on a brace of boots, but on the...

Last Saturday, I went from Derby to Oldham and back for work. Having just done an Oil change a couple of weeks before, I brimmed with V-Power diesel. Stuck resolutely to the limits over the A roads to Whaley Bridge (50mph), and then MWay (not more than 70 mph). On the return leg, I got stuck in...

Hello Redtwin I had a 1.8 SE Sport on a W. I did about 110,000 miles in it before I got out. A lovely car, but the fuel economy never really got out of the high 20's. In fact, that was one of the reasons it finally had to go! It borderline passed it's emissions test on the MOT in 2005 and the...

You're probably right, Paul. But neither of my 6th Gen Accords sounded quite like this one, and I racked up a combined mileage of 175k over 7 years or so. The bad news is I've got a cracked headlamp lens and, from the posts on the forum, I'm looking at handing over the readies for a new unit...

Oops! Maybe I should contain my enthusiasm! lol But, chaps? You know I'm right!

I turned the key this evening, after a long but productive day in Leicestershire. And, you know what? I was struck by how sweet the starter motor sounds as it turns over! About 3 turns to fire up, but a silky smooth sound as it spins! The more knowledgeable of you will put me straight for sure...
