On the diesel there is soundproof matting stuck under the bonnet

VSA warning light can be deleted with a paperclip in the OBD2 port but check your tyres first.

An Accord at well under a grand delivered. What's not to like ?

All Accords I have owned have premium sound.

I've not seen an Accord amplifier fail unless there has been a lightning strike in the vicinity. If the loudspeakers have got damp (in which case there are options out there) then stick with the OEM version, which can be repaired.

Try fixing the seat first, whilst seemingly separate it might have something to do with the cruise control. You are out of options as far as I can tell without spending far more time on the original issue. Are the seats independently wired for memory ? Is/are the key fobs original or...

How many miles are you doing a week and are any of them long runs ? What was the last MOT emission test result and is it much different from previous years ?

Do you have a warm dry garage the car can stay in for a day or two ?

That is nuts. I had a Mitsubishi Galant as a company car once, the dealer dropped a replacement sidelight bulb into the headflight before an MOT and it was off the road for over a week while they basically took the car apart to retrieve it.

I very much doubt there is a fault in the wiring loom. The control switch on the steering wheel controls two sets of filaments at the front of the bonnet (and both are on with the issue as described) Have you changed/upgraded any bulbs, or had had a road accident lately ?

It might be the extension and adapter is required for RHD models. It wouldn't explain the pointless join on the -ve cable under the battery platform though.

Two chains. https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/replacement-of-engine-chains.16473/ I only have the Mk7 but have you tried a full oil change (flush/filter/cheap oil/drain oil/filter and recommended oil ) ? About £90 but it will tell you if the previous owners scrimped on servicing or a...

It is unlikely to be flaps ( I did a lot of testing on them, switching from dashboard to foot/front passenger combined and individual settings a year or so back). The crud will be slowly passing through to the newer coolant, the driver's side is always the last. One thing I did not do - for...

What wheel is in the boot ?

Best to flush the whole system before anything since there may be a second hole about to open after the first has been closed. I found a lot of crud in the base of the radiator which could only be cleared by taking out of the car and flushing upside down multiple times with a high pressure hose

There should be no problem fitting a larger battery on the same charging connection. It it can be done in mobile phones and laptops then a car alarm will be no different.

My tourer has had a leak in the hose ever since I bought her, losing around half the reservoir every six months or so. Is yours a serious leak since a fiver a year for the fluid for me is worth the hassle of replacing.

The type of exhaust emission is important when it comes to diesel v petrol, most of the rules fleecing the motorist (at least around here) are down to particulates.

Strange that it is significantly higher than the I-ctdi diesel 2.3 litre.

Why would/should the management system be registering the rail as a fault in a non-cold start situation (ie. winter condition) when it is not a winter start? Genuinely interested.
