    What engine oil to use?

    Additional reverse light

    must be your wiring then, because all you're doing in essence is wiring two bulbs in parallel. Double check you're connecting to the right wires from the original bulb. You'll identify the right (switched) wire by ; putting car in neutral, probing the wire which should be @ 12v, then select...

    Additional reverse light

    Richard although I haven't studied the circuit diagram for the accord, it's true to say all previous cars I've owned have had the reverse light switch ground the return from the light rather than supply 12V to it. I'm guessing you made the ***umption that the switch will be switching 12V, but...

    Car alarm

    Clutch and Brake fluid change

    The clutch takes very little, but there are recommended capacities, you'll probably find most of us that's done this already, keep flushing 'til it's clear, so I'd suggest getting two 500ml bottles possibly three..to be sure. You location for the bleed nipple for the clutch is a bit vague in...
