    XCarlink

    Afternoon all! Just had a go at installing the Xcarlink into the motor and after a bit of a hesitant start it was actually pretty straight forward!! The civicinfo guide is really good as has been mentioned before and if a novice like me can install it anyone can!! Like some of the other guys...

    Reverse Parking Sensors

    I have a similar problem to yours, when I stick it into reverse it starts to beep like something is close but theres is nothing in sight! I have been told that this can be caused by a faulty connection or sensor and you could possibly fix this by going through to see which is the problem and fix it.

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

    I churn out about 750/800 miles a week to and from work - spend about £85-90 ish a week! In the first 2 weeks before I started work I was doing town driving and I was getting about 40/45mpg which almost made me wanna cry knowing that I'd be doing 800 odd miles a week! Thankfully the Accord loves...

    Yea thats what I do as well, sixth gear is great just stick it in there and hover around the 70mph mark and you stay under the 2000 rpm. I also like to follow other cars take a small advantage from drafting - mite not do anything but in my head im saving loooooads of fuel :D

    100,000 Mile Service 06 CDTI

    I've managed to rope a friend who knows his way around the engine bay to help me with this service and wanted to ask a very n00b question :blush: I've seen that we can get a discount on the oil but can we get discounts on the filters as well and where is the best place to get them from?

    100,000 Mile Service 06 CDTI

    As I just got the car I wanted to get the once over by someone that knows about the faults and things to look out for as I cant be sure how well the guy before me took care of it and if there is anything major wrong with it. Would a local mechanic be able to tell me as well as one of the Honda...

    100,000 Mile Service 06 CDTI

    As the service history suggests that it hasnt been serviced in the last 20,000 miles roughly I thought it would be a good idea to get it done professionally, I have no experience with servicing or any of the tools that you mentioned. I plan to learn how to do a service as I will be doing roughly...

    100,000 Mile Service 06 CDTI

    Just called the Chiswick branch and got a quote for £339, included in this would be the draining and replacing of the oil, replacing the oil, pollen, air and fuel filter. It sounds like what the dealer in Ruislip offered.

    100,000 Mile Service 06 CDTI

    Yea I realised that after buying the car and reading posts on here. Hopefully nothing has been damaged due to the missing service but the fluid levels were pretty topped up so hopefully the guy before me took it to a local garage!

    100,000 Mile Service 06 CDTI

    Hi Guys, I recently bought an Accord and looking through the service history saw that it was due its next service. I just rang up a Honda dealer and was quoted £400 for the service! He did mention a bunch of things he was going to change but I was slightly in shock and didnt really take...

    Reverse Parking Sensors

    Haha that was the first thing I checked! :P I had a little sit in the Accord today and tested out the parking sensors, it seems they dont give any indication of distance rather a constant beep when something is close, is that the norm? I ***umed it would be the sliding scale of beeps.
