    Honda History Database

    Hi all. I am looking to verify the mileage of an 8th gen, which is for sale with very low mileage. I have done the MOT history check, but obviously that only starts at 3 years old. I imagine Honda keep service, etc, records electronically, from new. Does anyone here have access to this info...

    Puncture repairs

    The load and speed rating remains. The repair is just to the rubber, they are rejected, and deemed as scrap, if there is cord damage. Good to know you got some mileage out of those part worns. Cheers

    Puncture repairs

    Hi Jon. I work in a tyre shop in Kington (we also used to be HiQ in Ludlow). We can get repairs professionally done to shoulder / sidewall areas, which cannot be safely done with "mushrooms". The cost is about £30, although we do not do it in house, so the turnaround is a week.

    Model Differences 8th Gen

    This looks a bit steep for a cat D, but might make him a silly offer, any thoughts? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-Honda-Accord-Estate-2-2-I-DTEC-Type-S-CAT-D-REPAIRED-/262923999075?hash=item3d377dd763:g:9IwAAOSw4CFY5tsb

    Model Differences 8th Gen

    I have just shy of a ton, 375kg trailer, 530kg car. The 7th gen has no problems towing this, (especially as Fahad has breathed his magic on it!), just fancy the newer model.

    Model Differences 8th Gen

    Cheers guys. I like the idea of 180hp, as I tow my trackday car with it. Just have to keep looking as it is a rare animal indeed.

    Model Differences 8th Gen

    Hi all. I am constantly thinking about selling my 7th gen tourer, and getting an 8th gen. Have seen a Type S for sale recently, but what defines it as "type s", above other specs? Cheers

    What other cars have people got/had

    Is your kitcar for just road use? I guess then weight is not quite such an issue. You will want a bit of comfort. My car has the most rudimentary fibreglass seats available, no real comfort, but they weigh next to nowt. Weight has become quite an obsession, already quite a slim guy, I have given...

    Difficulty selecting reverse

    Hi All I have the 7th gen facelift, 6 speed. I have a problem selecting reverse, which seems to have been getting worse recently, There is no issue with clutch or dmf, as they were replaced last year, and no problem with the gear once engaged, so I suspect a selector problem. Does anyone...

    Couple of questions..

    My car had a great "rat-look", until today, the guys at that pesky Honda garage went and washed it, when it went for its passenger airbag recall! Of all the nerve.

    Price of body parts.

    Hi all. Just had my car driven into, and want to give the guilty party the option of paying me, instead of insurance claim. Obviously all dealers now closed till Tuesday, so does anyone have a ball park estimate of new parts; 7th gen facelift, front grille, and front bumper. Like I say a...

    Limp mode?

    No, I am still no wiser. It has done this 3 or 4 times since, always a few minutes after being started from warm. I have ceased worrying about it now, I just complete my journey (thinking of the fuel I am saving), or just turn off, to reboot.
