As has happened to a neighbour, his car in the driveway for two months whilst on a cruise. Somebody cloned the plate on a similar vehicle and went on a speeding spree three counties away.

I would edit the video to remove the reg no, since the car does have an MOT

Good, start them young.

Well it went for £400 second time round so perhaps a bargain. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/277420890793 Strange tacho markings, paddle on the steering column ?

It could be a dodgy earthing point (or two). Has the car had the engine out at any time in its life, or a previous life near the sea ?

Order a set from Cox Motors, they will be able to recommend if not these https://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk/2-0-petrol/genuine-honda-accord-petrol-spark-plug-set-2-0ltr-2003-2008

Some vehicles have a deep sleep mode where all non-essential circuits are shut down after a few days.

Keep all details/receipts for the work you are doing to prevent engine failure for the insurance claim.

Since the filter is doing its job then there is little else you could do apart from a full inspection, meaning a full stripdown. Basic tests on the aluminium flakes are unlikely to locate the item that has been chewed unless you get lucky with an endoscope

Did the car end up on its side, engine still running ? If so one if the chains may have moved around on the tensioner guide or touched the cylinder block wall, though it is all guesswork without a direct inspection.

You didn't say the turbocharger had gone. Engine almost certainly fec ked if not stopped immediately after power failure. All pipes need cleaning of metal so everything under the bonnet needs replacing, a second time.

What does stop the high beam ? I would suspect the steering console switch might be behind it, have you had any damp issues in the car ?

The battery acts not only as a power source, but also as a stabiliser. When removed the alternator has nowhere to send the majority of the output and I would suspect the ECU shuts things down before expensive bits on the wiring loom get damaged through overvoltage.

Then it could be advanced wear anywhere inside. You might find changing the oil again is the cheapest way of improving things, or not (£50). It will also give you a clue there are other issues if more sludge comes out.

Mileage. Service history How many previous owners ?

14.8V may be a bit high if the alternator is doing all work in the car, do you have a calibrated voltmeter ?

Find/borrow a known working battery.

There are two chains in the engine, other members/threads have suggested changing both together.

Is the engine making noises ? Do you have service history ? Are you a new Honda owner ?
