    sat nav goes off when i turn the key

    I had the same problem on my last Accord. It's a problem with the power supply in the DVD Rom. The only way I cured it was to replace the ROM I'm afraid.

    Placed an order a few weeks a go, had one email saying they had no stock (says they have stock on the site) of what I ordered but that was the last time I heard anything. I've asked for an update so we'll see but wont give it too long before I contact the card compny

    How do the LED headlight kits compare to aftermarket Xenon kits? I'm bothered about fitting an Xenon kit as don't want dazzle other drivers.

    Quiet Sports Exhaust..........

    Yes, I got one from Holdcroft. The exhaust come in two parts; one part is the full length of the car, the other is just the other back box. Strangely they're both the same price, think I paid £235 for each part and my local garage charged me £60 for fitting. One word of warning, the full...

    HIDs

    Hi all Just swapped my 2003 Accord 2.4 Exec tourer for a 2008 Accord 2.4 Exec tourer. Very happy so far but slightly disappointed that unlike the 2003 car it doesn't have HIDs. I know there's things like the Phiips Nightbreakers etc but would prefer HIDs. I've seen kits with the 35w, slim...

    2.0 or 2.4 for short trips?

    2.4 MILES better. I have the auto but would go for a manual if ihad the choice again.

    So what should I expect with from my 2.4?

    I've got a 2003 2.4 EX and it hardly uses oil and I've not read anything that says they do. I get my oil from Holdcroft Honda, just tell them your reg and they do the rest, I insist on Honda's own though. Performance is okay but you do have to use the Auto manually if you want to move, but its...

    Windscreen trim

    I did consider that as I do have a chip that needs sorting. On closer inspection the two bottom retaining clips have come away, I've ordered some more clips just not sure how they are secured..

    Windscreen trim

    The windscreen trim on the RH side (looking form the outside) has come loose. It doesn't want to clip back in so I think the retaining clips have broke. I've also got a squeak from that area so I'm presuming it's related. Has anyone had this problem or refitted the trim?

    Diagnosing Aircon Problems

    Just an update; Some might have seen my recent posting on another forum, if not I went back to the relay and fuse and cleaned them again. Amazingly, after doing this I had ice cold air! This lasted until lunch today, so about 24 hrs! I recently purchased an OBD2 scanner and today I used it for...

    Diagnosing Aircon Problems

    Condenser on the way. I'm really surprised were Honda sites it, very vulnerable.

    Diagnosing Aircon Problems

    That's certainly perished! Had a word with my mate who's a mobile mechanic, so long as I can get the gas removed he's happy to do the work. For the price of a new condenser and his labour it's a punt I'll probably take. Thanks for the advice.

    What's the work in changing the condenser?

    When to change a 10 year old car.

    Mines a 2003 2.4 with 83k and I'd decided that it wasn't worth changing. I have spent on it recently; new starter, new rear caliper, new dvd player for the sat nav and now the air con isn't blowing cold. That in itself wouldn't bother me however the rear arches are now starting to go. I...

    Diagnosing Aircon Problems

    Just to clarify; I do have air blowing in, all the settings are working its just not cold! If I leave it on auto and a low temp then the recirc button is always lit. Warming things up is the complete opposite, that's working great!

    Diagnosing Aircon Problems

    Mine's stopped working. Took it down to Kwik-Fit for a gas, which they did, it made no difference so they didn't charge. The lad said pressure is fine, compressor is kicking in so it needs further investigation. Don't really want to go to Honda and spend ££££'s. not sure what to do next?
