Gulp .. just got a price from my local supplier - £200 for the front sensor and £59 for the rear ! Now a search on ebay reveals £33 ???? for the front sensor and £116 for rear ??? Strange me thinks.

Think I will replace the oxygen sensor. They are not that expensive and do degrade over time. Its recomended to replace them at 100k anyway.

I would agree that if tires are under-inflated, then this does affect consumption. However recently a trial was done in which the tire pressure was set to that recommended versus inflating up to 40 psi and no difference (within experimental error) was noted. I have never experimented with fuel...

In answer to your questions, have had the car for around 10 months. It has 110k miles and a full history with 3 previous owners. Its a 2 litre - like my previous one. Except this one is a post face lift; the other was pre face lift. It idles smoothly. Passed its MOT first time. The only...

I have suspected poor consumption for some time. :mellow: This past few days, I did a trip to Scotland. I did 570 miles and used 77 litres of fuel - ie around 34 mpg. The car runs fine - starts, idles, runs ok. The tires were pumped up, the air filter is clean, the plugs are reasonably new...

HI I think I would cut my losses. It sounds like you have a bad one - since these cars don't rust and the clutches do quite a bit more than 100k. This is the point about them - they are cheap and reliable. Perhaps yours had an accident in the past and was repaired; this is a common cause of...

Yes this is a weak point on them. Both my accords had this. On my present one, I just took out the spring retractable mechanism , and replaced both cords with long boot laces. Don't laugh, it works ! A tied a loop around the door hatch peg, then cut to length, with a knot in the parcel shelf...

I can answer this. Last year I inquired about this. My local garage, who are usually very reasonable, ie about £35/labor - I supply the parts. They quoted over £300 pounds, for cam belt and tensioner kit. Gosh I thought. So for a laugh, I thought i would ask the Honda dealer in Chesterfield -...

There is quite a bit of controversy over this topic. Some say you can, others say the world will end if you put anything other than Honda fluid in. If you look in the handbook, it does say only use the Honda specification product, which is expensive, and a cynic might refute this as "well...

No there is a 4 cylinder 2 litre version also

I think the handling is more than adequate. The two I have owned have both been fine, even with economy tires fitted, on standard rims. My present one rattled a bit and was a bit 'happy' on the rear end, when I first got it. Nothing appeared amiss when inspected, but I just replaced the anti...

Hello Does anyone have much information or opinion of the Coupe version around 2000 model year? They are nicely styled in my opinion. Leather interiors. I know they were built in the USA and imported. Are they as reliable as the Swindon built cousins? Most are automatics; is the auto box...

Also check the steering fluid is not down. No stains near the car. The systems have been known to develop leaks. Not difficult to fix. But annoying when you get it home to discover a leak. The drop links are weak, front and back, but again cheap and easy to replace. If you find one with rattles...

I had two 6th gen Accords now. Both 2 litre SE's. The 1st one (2000 W) was very good on fuel. On trips to Scotland using the cruise control set at about 75, I got 40 mpg (well actually 39.5) using brim to brim. Around town it used to give about 33/34. The one I have now is not as good. On a...

They are such good cars and not worth very much. Why not retire it and take off off the road on a SORN. Useful as a spare car.

Why not keep as a spare.

Yes of course, but when it reaches a little lower than the bottom mark, you will suddenly notice the steering pump making a noise when you turn the wheel. Top up immediately ! Sounds like Andy has you on the right track. When it happened to me, there was fluid on the floor and the leak was at...

Probably not too bad. 1) The anti roll bar, drop links and bushes is not expensive, did mine recently 2) The handbrake efficiency is never brilliant on these cars - suggest new rear pads and disks and adjust the cable 3) Get a new exhaust system - will probably fix the emissions problem 4) Lamp...

Well I would not do that if I was you. It may upset the EMU. If you want a more sporty sound, why not buy a new 'big bore' silencer from an accessory shop, which has been designed for the application.

You will probably have to spend a bit on it, but once it is sorted, you will have a very reliable car. I have had two now, one cost me £500, my present one £600. They are a bargain. Both of mine had no issues and passed MOT first time. Good luck !
