    Spare Wheel

    On the saloon you can reverse the cone to secure a full size wheel. Is that not the case with the tourer then?

    DIY 7th Gen Pre-Facelift Diesel Fuel Filter Change

    Afraid not, Faddy. T'other Matt's DIYs are like this: "I'd not done this before, but after 2 hours its all fixed with no problems and I even managed to take a million excellent photos to share with everyone else."

    Decat

    Funnily enough, I was looking for films of "accord diesel decat" on Youtube yesterday. There are a couple of films of exhaust noise, then halfway down the result list is a WWII german propaganda film! No idea why.

    Noise while reversing

    When I was in cardiff the trucks were bilingual. Unfortunately, it took so long for it to say "Warning. Vehicle reversing" in welsh that by the time it got to the english you were already under its wheels.

    Options for calipers?

    At those prices I'd forget about going to Honda and try a trusted local garage. It costs nothing to ask their advice as to costs and how long you'd be without your car. I'd ask about the costs of various options such as: a ) The garage refurbing your calipers with new seals, and possibly new...

    Uncomfortable seats

    I always heard the Accord had a good reputation for comfy seats, not quite in the same league as Volvo, but pretty good nonetheless. I've done 750 miles in a day in mine and found them to be really good. Interestingly, I've also got a 98 Almera and while the seats are fine and I've done many...

    Finally some decent pics of my EL wire mod

    For anyone considering a DIY oil service.....

    I almost bought a house just because it had an inspection pit in the garage. My wife was saying how small / expensive / run down it was and I was there going "but its got a pit. A PIT. Don't you understand woman?" I now have to do all my work at the side of the road. :(
