I did think of burning our bed mattress in the boot after soaking it in water first (slow burn to make it last) but the wife said "what are we going to sleep on ? " Having said that - its winter and all the leaves are now on the ground and damp so this may be the way to go and it would keep the...

I had same problem on my Accord - it was the plastic sheet underneath the rear door card that had come adrift and allowed water into the inside - sounds like the same problem ! Hope this helps

Hi Channel Hopper, very interesting but I presume would be very expensive and very complicated for what I need - Just one question - where did the heaters get there power from ? It looks like they are connected somehow to the vehicle itself - my needs would be totally independent from the car...

Hi all, has anyone got any ideas as to keeping an independent low powered heater inside the car ????????? I will explain :- about 30 40 years ago I used to have a very small paraffin lamp/light which I would light and leave lit overnight in the rear of my Ford Transit van - this made sure that...

Hi, I have a 225 x 40 x 18 Civic tyre R spare and it fits fine - a bit tight but that`s a bonus as no rattle 2005 auto exec tourer.

Hi, I am not surprised in the least ! Its a sign of what most of society has become - and should be a real worry to us all - too many greedy people without morals with an eye on making a quick buck at someone else`s cost and the sooner people realise it the better ! But I am not holding my breath.

I had this repaired on mine from a chap in Leicester a number of years ago - worked perfect ever since !

Hi Channel Hopper, Thanks for the info - I guess most people don`t realise the vast implications this has had, including me and at least now I have had it done ! All I have to sort out now is my "Electric Lift Tailgate" (see my previous post) and then my car is as near perfect as it can be...

Hi all, these tailgates are a pain in the arse when they don`t work - Try this for size ! Mine in warm weather works perfectly as it should both from the fob and also the button on the tailgate, so far so good BUT in cold weather push the fob, it raises - pauses, beeps then closes again ...

Hi all, update - yes the AA came out today and fitted the new Takata airbag module, when he took the old one off - he confirmed it WAS the new one that Honda replaced around 5/6 years ago !!!!!!! But he replaced it anyway as he said Honda would keep hounding me if not ! Took about 15 mins total...

Hi all, does anyone know where the Sensor unit is located for the reversing units - mine has recently started playing up, when it is wet it just gives continuous beep instead of intermittent - but not all the time, I suspect a faulty contact so if I can find it I will check all connections -...

Hi, I have fitted Honda Civic Type R 18 inch wheels on my Accord gen. 7. 2.4 auto exec Tourer with 225 x 40 x 18 Uniroyal Rainsport 3s They suit the car perfect they are the 7 spoke type, I think they are termed FN2 - obviously I made enquiries from Honda and the tyre supplier and all said no...

Hi all just contacted Honda UK re: TAKATA airbag recall - good news, they said YES, and I am now waiting for the AA to contact me to carry out the recall on my drive :D we will see, I will keep you posted. Thanks again

Hi, I don`t know what area you are located, but you could give Tameside Transmission in Denton Manchester a ring, they are specialist in gearboxes and I can highly recommend them - they know what they are doing - they sorted my 05 2.4 auto exec Tourer out, got to be worth a phone call. Good luck

Hi, thanks for the info - I am on I think my 5th letter from Honda !!!! My local APPROVED Honda dealership replaced the faulty part around 5/6 years ago - the last 5 letter`s from Honda are saying that the part that was fitted was also faulty !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will NOT take my car to my Honda...

I think I have used my cruise control probably a dozen or so times all the time I have had the car - its really pointless in the part of the country I live in (M61 M60 M63 M6) as the traffic is crackers so I would be forever resetting it ! its easier just to let the car do it, our BMW also...

Hi, I am a bit late to this one but I am also being hounded from Honda ( this will be the 2nd one they have fitted ! and it also failed) How did you get the AA to do it ? I am with the RAC - Did Honda suggest it or are you in the AA ? did you just phone the AA and ask ? I would appreciate some...

Hi, contact Tameside Transmission in Manchester - they are the experts, I had a fully recon auto box fitted by them 4 years ago, still going strong - don`t know what area you are from but worth giving them a call - Good luck

Hi, just the usual regular services - apart from when the pillock at my local Honda dealership goosed by auto box up 4 years ago - and charged me £500 odd quid to do it !!!!!! had to get fully recon auto box from Tameside Transmission in Manchester @ cost of £2004 inc. vat they were great...

Hi, I have a 54 plate 2.4 auto Exec Tourer top of the range with every extra fitted - its almost perfect and I love it to bits - I bought it in 2008 - 166,800 miles on the clock now, drives like a dream ! I have been thinking of changing it for the last 5 years as I no longer need a large...
