    I found my old post and I'd actually got 57 mpg! going to a baby show in Manchester from Dudley.

    Another Rusty Sunroof

    Structural warranty is 12 years so I'd just see what they say to that. It shouldn't be rusty and they've had to replace other people's sunroofs so why not yours. Don't go in all blazing. See what they say and then write to Honda uk. I havnt got a sunroof so google will be your best bet to see...

    Another Rusty Sunroof

    This is a common problem unfortunately. Most people have had Honda replace them by escalating a case if the dealer doesn't play ball. I've read one guy taking it out and grinding the rust off and repairing it him self though. Just use google and start collecting evidence that it's common. If...

    That's strange. I looked back at the first page which says the guide is for the 7th gen and h11 bulbs. Hopefully admin will correct the guide as that's two bulbs that have been wrong.

    Diesel MPG mods

    I forgot it was a diesel. I was thinking back to my petrol days. Good times! Does the Type s idtec have the same intercooler as all the other 150 bhp variants? I know the turbo and clutch is slightly different.

    Diesel MPG mods

    If i remember correctly, adding a bigger intercooler shouldn't effect anything negatively. They reduce your intake temp of turbo so you can either have a lower boost but have same power (prolongs turbo)or increase power a little bit with standard boost. Either way you'll be fine.

    That might be me that your on about which I did question but got no response. It was for the 8th gen car though and was for the main beam which is a HB3 fittment not H1. The fog lights you have should be fine as they are H11.

    Lowering Springs for the EX

    It's 25 mm at the front and 20 mm at the rear so the car is tilting up slightly in a racing stance. I doubt you'll really notice the 1cm difference round the rear wheel arch compared to the Eibachs. Either way they're both good springs. If I didn't have a 4 month old son I'd be lowering my car too!

    Lowering Springs for the EX

    The Tein springs look good. They give a lot of detail like spring rates etc. I think they will give a better stance than Eibachs as the the front is 25 mm compared to the rear 20 mm. Plus they're designed to go with original dampers. The thing with lowering an Accord is that you seem to need...

    Lowering Springs for the EX

    My brother just put some h and r springs on his ralliart colt and said it felt slightly wallowy. Maybe they get better over time? Personally I'd go with en back or tein.

    Genuine?

    They may have been off a 09 Accord but I don't think there genuine honda as I havnt seem them in the accessory brochure. Maybe they're off a different honda? Either way you could check the different online brochures for free. Nice wheels though.

    I downloaded the osram app on Android which confirmed I needed HB3 bulbs for my main beam. Hopefully I'll get the correct bulbs this time. I'm sure why some sites say h1?

    Can someone help me. I'm trying to change my main beam bulb on my 8th gen. This thread says it's a H1 another website I checked on also says it's a H1. I ordered some h1 osrams and when trying to fit them they are completely different. The original bulbs say hb3u and have a plastic L shape bit...

    spare wheel

    I had a full size 17 inch alloy in my wheel well(SALOON). It did stick up slightly but I could still get all my suit cases in for going on holiday etc. If you need every ounce of boot space you'll need a space saver. If not, then I'd try one of your own alloys to see if you can live with the...

    Dropping revs

    It probably is what Jon said as it does make sense. It's not like there's been any members experiencing fuel cut. If your clutch is on the way out putting it under strain to find out will just finish it off quicker and will then definitely need changing. If you drive normally you may get...

    Dropping revs

    The revs go up not down when the clutch slips.

    Variants of 8th Gen EX

    As Rich says. If you buy a car with a sun roof you'll have to make sure there's no rust or with in warranty. Putting a body kit on an EX is a good option and easy enough but im not sure if the Costs Out Way the price of just buying an ex gt especially if the insurance goes up as well. If...

    Diesel MPG, performance and is there a service Manual?

    Try changing petrol stations. I have found a Certain station by me uses poor fuel as my power and mpg drop. I used Texaco for the first time this week and my mpg went back up and I could instantly feel extra torque which was also verified by the gears I was using.
