    Weight reduction - 2.4 exec

    It isn't possible for them to keep their ideas to themselves. It's common practice for manufacturers to buy the oppositions product and strip them down to see what ideas than can use.

    Weight reduction - 2.4 exec

    It wouldn't surprise me if the government ordered petrol stations to paint all pumps (derv and petrol) the same colour brown. It's the logic they used thinking it would stop people smoking. :wacko:

    Reverse jump start

    Probably buckled the battery plates and you would also need to check fuses.

    Sorry - another seized rear brake calliper thread - calliper replacement recommendations please :-)

    WARNING - Do periodic visual checks on your brake pads. Don't make the same mistake I did and ***ume you will get an audible warning before they wear out.

    Brake splash shields

    I would fabricate something simple that resembles a dust shield as long as it's secure there is nothing in the rules about it's efficiency.

    Low Coolant Temp

    If the temperature varied the system wouldn't be working correctly. If the heaters working I don't think you have a problem.

    Speed limiter?

    Obviously not too scared to use his phone at the same time. I usually get a letter from the old bill to prove what speed my bikes or cars could do. :o

    Roof bars for Tourer without rails

    I can't enlarge the exploded parts drawing so It's not easy to see, but it looks as though the rail would only need shortening - no welding needed.

    What song makes you drive too fast?

    Old school ? Blimey to me that's modern crap. For laid back cruising it's country, for pedal to the metal it's Jerry Lee Louis, Little Richard Etc.

    Roof bars for Tourer without rails

    I haven't got a clue who fitted them Brian. Apparently the car was in the same family from new with more than one owner. I have seen them two other pre-facelifts but they are as rear as gold fish pee. 3 of the end trims were missing on mine but Honda want £100 + for one !!!. When I complained...

    Roof bars for Tourer without rails

    Roof rails were available for the pre-facelift but are a different length and different fixing point to the facelift. The pre-facelift front mounting point is above the front door pillar, the facelift is further forward.

    VSA. To be or not to be, that is the question LOL

    Look at it from another angle. My Accord doesn't have traction control, will the mot tester check to see if there should be a switch wear my blank plate's fitted and nose around under the bonnet looking for clues to see if I had removed a traction control unit ? I don't think so.

    Puncture repairs

    Unlike the days of cross-plys six punctures in eighteen months is way over average. I would be more interested in the cause than cure.
