No. It was something I've been looking to have done before 125k. I will have them have a look at this on Monday. Just worrying if it's something like injectors, valves or something more inside the engine that failed because of the low oil .....

Yep. Turbo sounds fine. I mean the regular noise when cold and then whistle when warm. Nothing out of ordinary here.

Not there when idling. Only around 1,5-2k when accelerating for the first half a mile (approx.)

Not burning oil. Basically never had to top up between services, this one is now a bit overdue due to couple of things. No smoke that I've noticed or oil leaks. Not sure what they out on at Honda Holdcroft services, but I would think they put 0w-30 being reliable chaps. just over 113k now...

As they say, people only speak up when things go wrong, so here I am again.... For the past few months the car has been running sweet. Done some maintenance, brakes, tyres, nothing out of ordinary. Service is due so was going to book for next week. Then yesterday morning drove missus to work...

large puddle, bit slippy?

0w30 kolego, it always was :D If it says in the handbook, and a well informed group of enthusiasts is telling you so, then it has to be right. Check Opie Oils. They recommend the correct grade if you search your car there. Everyone is simply incompetent, wrong. And does not give a **** about...

Exactly what I am having. Will have someone taking the belt off for me and checking the pulleys for almost free before the meet so I can then get the parts maybe and get it done here. Can the belt be taken off easily? Or can it just be slackened enough to be taken off the main pulley to see if...

Haha. Nick, I was going to pick some up last year and unfortunately they did not have them in stock :/ So this time I'll just get them in my town if I can. After all how much cheaper (if anything) they might be?

I like them with the little spoiler on. I guess the cheaper one don't have this. I'll stick to Honda genuine and enjoy it. Thanks for suggestions :rolleyes:

That is a good shout ! Not sure why I haven't checked Honda Happiness as I do remembered now they do actually do wipers!. Guess I need to pay them a visit then. Thanks!

I just checked few websites for wipers and for 06 Accord they are giving me 22" and 18". I am quite sure this is wrong and it should be 26/16, correct? It's a right mess, some websites giving 26/15, 26/17, not much on ebay. Arrrrgh Is 26/16 the one I want?

Steering rack was replaced definitely. That's what took them 6 weeks to get shipped from JPN. Not sure of all replaced parts never got a list :/ I have tried to show that noise to couple of guys and Fahad but I failed to do it properly. Engine cold and little revs and you can hear exactly what...

Excellent. I'll pass the information. Pictures would be even better but if you can't find them he'll have to do without them.

Fair enough. I won't be worrying about that then. Only for my oil changes in between services. Cheers

Sorry I should have made it clearer, I meant a brand of oil :D Is there any benefit of ordering for example Motul over what they put in at HH ?

My friend bought 6th gen accord and got a set of filters. Where is the cabin filter located as he want's to replace that one himself. Is it somewhere behind the glovebox compartment like on 7th gen? Thanks

Guys I think I will have these 2 replaced. The weird ticking irregular noise is getting now louder gradually and I spoke to a guy next door who has a garage and he offered his hand in replacing these if I can get the parts. He's done some little stuff for me before and I can see he's got a lot...

TMC should turn green even without route. As soon as it picks up a station which provides TMC data. The HFT issue is not an issue I think, just the way it is. If I start a call form phone I can choose i I want it transferred to HFT or not. Which makes sense. If I want to make a call from HFT I...

They asked me for £230 to check if there's a noise from Timing Chain in Swindon. Said they can't say by just listening and would have to strip it out ..... BTW: Does anyone know what oil Honda Holdcroft is using? Having mine serviced at the meet and thinking should I get some oil from Opie or...
