    Fog lamps

    Possible power steering pump failing

    Hi, yes I have been looking into this in the past day or so, and indeed you are correct. There is no specification in the handbook, and a search on the internet likewise, except you see phrases like "Use only correct Honda PS fluid otherwise you may damage the system" or in the book "Use of...

    Possible power steering pump failing

    I suspect it was nothing to do with the fluid. I have used a ubiquitous power steering fluid after my problem 6 months ago, and its fine. There is a lot of marketing nonsense about oils and fluids - its all about trying to get you to spend more. As long as the oil is to the correct...

    Possible power steering pump failing

    Check your fluid and for leaks. When I bought my present accord, I got it home and my pump was making a terrible noise when turning the steering wheel. I checked the level and it was down. Topped up and fine again, but I was having to top up every day to a bad leak. Local garage sorted it. It...

    The Honda Creed

    I believe in Honda, the car almighty, maker of transport on earth, and in his son the Accord, who was invented of the virgin Honda, suffered under Chevy **** box, was scrapped and descended into Ford. On the third day rose again from the scarp yard. Ascended into the VTEC, and sits upon the...

    High beam

    I too thank you for the information. I concur that my headlights are a bit weak, and quite frankly the main beam does very little extra. So you recommend Philips xtreme . I will look into them. Thanks

    Help AC unit removal

    Well it really is an excellent guide. But dear me what a job just to replace a bulb. The crack in the surround happened to me. Not sure i want to bother, thought it might be a 5 min job! It seems that a bulb replacement in the AC unit is a common problem. Thanks

    Radio/ AC unit illumination

    I have a couple of lamps out on the AC control unit and Radio. Can you get new ones and is it easy to replace them. Its a pain at night not being able to see the LCD display. Also is anyone breaking a car? I could do with a rear parcel shelf since the retractable cords are broken and are tied...

    mtf 3 or equivalent

    Its true that the "correct" oil is important - its the specification that is important and must be correct. Honda obviously supply the correct stuff, but do charge a lot. Its the same with all products and consumerism. I always look at the list of ingredients on products, and then compare...

    ooooo dem dam spark plugs !

    I tried that Nick - but it still was left behind. :angry: No I have since found a T handle socket or deep box plug spanner plus tommy bar are available. They don't cost much. Problem is you cant torque them to the correct 13 ft lbs with these. However in my experience, I find that if you seat...

    mtf 3 or equivalent

    Hi Tom My present Accord, only owned it about two months or so, had a very bad power steering leak when I got it home. I was filling it up every day, but I got a litre of fluid from Aztec oils - I had them look up the correct spec. I think it was about £5 or £6 pounds. My local garage found the...

    mtf 3 or equivalent

    All oils and lubrication products are made to a specification - the rest is just marketing. Of course, if it makes you feel better to use an expensive, correct "brand" then go ahead; peace of mind is invaluable. Personally I go to an oil wholesale company: "Aztec Oils" at Bolsover. Their...
