    Radiator fan

    Yeah having the heater set to hot allows water to flow fully through the system. However on the diesel waiting for the radiator fan to come in especially at this time of year is going to be a very long wait, I did mine in summer and gave up waiting for it to kick in after a good 20mins.

    Honda happiness clutch price increase?

    Where's the happyness in that price???? Or trade it in cos with that price for a clutch and the possibility of the cost of a VSA failure I dont think Honda are doing themselves any favours with there customers. Makes me feel like I'm driving a ticking time bomb in all honesty and makes me want...

    fACELIFT TYPE S SPOILERS ON EBAY

    Originally listed as buy it now 150 then at 100 and now there even more of a bargain. I had been watching these a few times as I was quite tempted but as mines a tourer only the front skirt is of any use to me and I can't justify the cost of the tourer rear skirt :( get them bought!

    What sort of mpg do you all get on your diesels?

    Just done 545miles on 53litres and the orange light hadnt come on, although it probably wasnt far off! Is that about 46mpg? Computer said 48.9mpg so it wasnt too far out.

    Need a flywheel

    It depends on the cost of the flywheel in Portugal compared the UK. Easiest option is get a weight and do some enquiries with DHL etc also freight forwarders and do you live near any haulage companies who have trucks running to the uk?

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    Not changed one myself on the accord but have had manifolds off on petrol cars before including turbo charged ones. Its just nuts and bolts and the turbo pipes at the end of the day. It depends how confident you feel about doing it, also when refitting the turbo you pour some oil into it before...

    Auto Lock

    If you unlock it and don't open a door it will relock itself after 30seconds. I think opening the boot also doesn't stop it relocking on the saloon.

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    Good news I have nothing but praise for Barnsley Honda always a good service, they did my a/c service cheap too and the collection/delivery service is spot on as well.

    fuel economy (big topic lol)

    A new battery shouldn't really effect it, wait and see what other 1.8 owners have to say about there's.

    fuel economy (big topic lol)

    25mpg is very poor, ok the Accord is a bigger car compared to my old MB6 Civic VTIS but that would generally do around 32-36mpg mainly round town and a few short motorway runs and even almost 40mpg on the long runs to the south of France. I dont think those fuel saving devices are any good, when...

    How to tell if my cold morning fast heater is working?

    You've turned it off manually then via the touch screen on the head unit? As soon as you press auto it'll start using the a/c again. I just leave mine on auto then I aint gotta worry about seals drying out etc or the horrid smell and the misting up of windows. Erm two words Girl Racer :lol:

    How to tell if my cold morning fast heater is working?

    Yeah it dont help the old MPG does it :(

    How to tell if my cold morning fast heater is working?

    Yeah that about sums it up, you set the temp and the car does the rest so if its really cold then when engine warms up you will notice blowers coming on then when its warmed up they slow down etc. You have dual zone climate, so hubby can set his at 25 and you can set yours at 16 and he'll get...

    How to tell if my cold morning fast heater is working?

    Auto just lets it do as it pleases, so it can utilise whatever fan speed and whatever vents it needs to obtain the set temperature. Also noticeable when the sun comes thru the windscreen as all of a sudden the fan speed will go up and the centre vents start blowing air out (usually cold).
