The requirement for DRL from 2011 was only for new to the market vehicles. The 8th gen Accord was already nearly 4 years old so it didn't have to have DRL's fitted from the factory.

Not sure its possible to get stuff out of RU at the moment, I could be wrong but there are a lot of things that are shut down from there.

Yes that black piece is only the trim for the lock. The clamp bolt is hidden by the locking piece.

Steel bars are strongest but alloy are usually quieter. I used Thule Square bars for years and they gave zero problems. But I recently got some Thule Wingbar Evo and they are a lot quieter. Atera Signo RT look to be the best value of these type but to be honest a roofbox will be noiser than any...

Aguri Prestige, Put the key in and turn it anti clockwise so the key blade is vertical, that should allow the whole lock and the black plastic piece its in to slide toward you, if it is reluctant try gently pushing the edge next to the rubber strip on the inboard side of the mounting foot. Try...

Halfords Exodus are good, Thule and Karrite also good. What size do you need? They come in square and long versions for skis and long cargo.

Type S diesel is the same I think, I cannot speak for petrol.

When you say you have built the terminals up with copper wire to prevent loose terminals does that mean the battery terminals do not mate with the connectors properly? I have found that improper connections can often lead to poor charging conditions because the connection is not enough to carry...

I agree, the simplest and best option. In fact the price of Honda Antifreeze is on a par or cheaper than spurious stuff at my dealer. You know it will work with your engine as well.

I think the only real solution is to either refurbish or replace the offending caliper. This is an issue that I had to deal with this year, I bought a kit and replaced the seal/bellows and piston. I also used red rubber grease under the seal and around the piston to prevent corrosion which is...

Only difference might be if there was a twin exhaust but I am not sure they came that way from factory. I think it should fit easily.

Is it a hatch? I have had a few leaks that were caused by the sealant that connects the roof panel to the rear wings going bad over time and causing a leak. These cracks are hairline and usually appear around the boot or hatch area or occasionally on the roof under the beauty trim. I would...

Usually they are H1 if not Xenon, what year and model is yours? I have had good success using Powerbulbs.com for bulbs in the past.

Ok, Intermittent faults can be difficult, but start with checking and cleaning all battery terminal contacts and earth points. That means removing and using a wirebrush or similar to clean off verdegris and corrosion. Electrons travel on the outside of wire, so corrosion means high resistance...

I would load test battery and check and clean all electrical connections, once cleaned cover with vaseline. My suspicion would be a failing battery, cold weather will usually start to show a bad battery.

Nice Wagon! I have the exact opposite colour, mine is Black, if I had been able to find a white ATS Wagon I would have bought one but they are hardly super common especially in Estate form. It was also a bit rushed because I had to replace a daily driver Mk7 wagon that was rear ended and written...

Adjust the brakes at the wheels not the centre console. Jack the rear up, with wheels off, there is a small black rubber plug in the brake drum it has a slot moulded into it. Remove the plug and use a flat blade screwdriver to move the adjuster gearwheel up or down (can't remember) to tighten...

Engine oil @6k miles IDTEC stage 2 I notice the gearbox is getting a little stiff now and the MTF was replaced at 60k miles now at 130, I will change that as well.

Yes, go in through the wheel arch, remove the liner. Its an easy job, just detension the arm and slip the belt on.

Of all the things one could choose to rant about, a misreading clock or satnav is the least of them. Bad engines or drivetrains or suspension or body squeaks and rattles would all be much more of a genuine fault than an unforeseen bug on a now discontinued but still highly able vehicle. I drove...
