    Replacement gearbox oil - £100?

    As above, I paid about £35 for Honda MTF when I got mine done. Not sure how much the labour charge was.

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    I've seen that. It's about £300 isn't it? I think I read its about £600 for Honda to do it out of warranty.

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    Hi all, Had my manifold replaced today by Barnsley Honda and it went without a hitch. I've been smelling fumes for ages and like many people thought it was just passing traffic but after reading this I realised it was actually a problem with my car! I called Barnsley Honda (closest dealer to...

    Locking the car whilst the engine us running

    Get a little electric heater. Run an extension from your house, through the car window (open it a smidge) and pop in the heater. Have your brekkie then hey presto, one nicely defrosted, and more importantly WARM car when its time for the off. No car theft necessary!

    16" vs 17" rims / Winter tyres - advice sought

    You don't necessarily need a 2nd set of wheels but as has already been said it does make it easier to just swap your winter wheels over whenever you want. i've had tyres put on / taken off wheels and its cost between £5 - £7 a wheel. One garage I know will, if you buy from them, fit your...

    Accord 7th gen brochure

    I think the 7th gen brochures have disappeared from the forum. There is one for the 2005 tourer here. I've also got ones for the 2005 saloon and 8th gen tourer / saloon but I don't have links for them as I only have them as pdfs. Anyone know how I can upload them on here?

    Space saver wheel standard on 2.4 EX?

    Dave. Just had a look at mine and its exactly the same as yours. Sorry to worry you yesterday, but I always thought mine was black inside. Booking a visit to specsavers... Looks nice from the pics. The best colour choice too!

    Space saver wheel standard on 2.4 EX?

    think mines got the yellow stuff too. Bit dark now but will check my boot tomorrow and see how it compares with yours.

    Space saver wheel standard on 2.4 EX?

    Hmm. Can't think why the wheel well would be a different colour to the rest of the bodywork. Normal practice is to paint the whole car as a bare shell then add all the lacquer etc to the visible parts. I'd have a look at other less accessible places to see what colour they are. Is it possible...

    716 miles from a tank!

    that's mighty impressive. Isn't the official theoretical max range about 720? I feel a challenge coming on!

    DIY - 8th Gen Auto IDTEC Brake Pad change

    Nice one, Jay. I'm impressed how quick you did it. It took me twice as long on my 7th gen but that did include stopping to talk to the neighbours and trying to persuade my son not to hit me with the wheel brace every 5 minutes. Yes you do, Cliff. Alnug did an excellent DIY for 7th gen discs...

    Spare Wheel

    Do you have a full size 15" in there or is it a spacesaver? I've got a full size spare 16" in mine (2005 pre-facelift SALOON ;) ). Yours should fit as the diameter of wheel + tyre would be the same - my tyres are 55 profile, yours are probably 50 right?. Only problem is that the full size...

    DIY - Brake discs and pads change 03+ (updated)

    Ok, so I did the front pads following this guide (thanks Alnug!) but not had time to do the rears yet. The brake caliper key worked a treat but winding the bolts out / in took a lot of time, and I wished I had a hex key for my ratchet as it would have been loads quicker. I also spent the extra...
