I would turn it off and leave the car outside in hot weather with all orifices open (boot/bonnet/doors) to let the moisture evaporate as much as possible There was a claim of old still water stored in cars (often the container for windcreen washer fluid, a plastic pouch like a hospital drip)...

What tools do you have ? A full sized spare wheel shoved under the front sill would be paramount. Central London ? Daylight so you don't end up getting stabbed.

I was ***uming the error codes were historic.

I would go for a replacement TPS from personal experience. Engine light goes out after three switch off/restarts (or immediately if you have the OBD2 thingy wired up)

Brake calipers, check the disc/pads are not overheating (rear left especially) Earthing points and corrosion under the bonnet. Don't park/live near the coast. If a saloon make sure you have a way of getting into the boot. Get a spare key and always keep a replacement battery for it in the car...

If the gearbox was OK then perhaps, you should really go see for yourself as two years out in a yard is a long time for paint/plastic/alloy.

I paid same for mine almost ten years ago with 150k on the clock and it still has all gears Saloon or Tourer ? Condition of the bodywork ? Modifications (wheels/brakes/suspension)? Number of previous owners ? Are you likely to be using it in a ULEZ zone ?

I recall during my time searching for a replacement modulator, one of the companies repairing them confirmed they did not dismantle the box fully but fitted parts on the outside which may or may not have been a third party switch. Did you take pictures of the original modulator whilst checking...

I did not suggest taking the car back to the same garage, you confirmed earlier the earlier fault had been fixed.

If not a Honda workshop or trained mechanic, the garage might spend a bit of additional time and effort nailing down the exact fix. If you check my early posts I changed a couple of sensors before replacing the modulator,. I had looked at sending it away for repair but fortunately found a...

Since you have mentioned the marque, was it a Honda garage that you took it to ? If not, was the mechanic that worked on the car trained at a Honda workshop ?

Cannot see from your post(s), does the VSA/ASM light still illuminate when you are driving ?

What wheels are on the car ?

I would have to disagree on the second part. All Honda motorcycles I have worked on (two strokes excepted ;) ) require a valve shim check at regular intervals and usually at the first service after purchase from a dealer. For example the NX500,, updated from the CB500X twin motorcycle...

When dealing with the Accord pedal here I found dropping the drivers seat and lowering the back rest, I could do all adjustments upside down with not much difficulty

After adding some traction.

Wet winters most years, where I live it can also get rather boggy

I'm shocked the Mk 8 underneath is corroding so badly, my Tourer is now over 20 years old and has virtually no rust. I thought it might have been the diesel fuel leaking with previous owners.

halogen, or tungsten filament ? Have you swopped bulbs with the other side ?

How many miles a do you drive each week in the Accord ?
