    Remote Locking issue

    Hi Chris. Welcome, Believe me joining this forum is one of the best things I did in regards to my car, has saved me a fortune in repair bills. As far as your issue goes I think it may be the fob that is the issue. The fact that it is unlocking your car seems to point to it. Can you lock the car...

    Clutch issues

    Thats great Pedro. Out of curiosity how much was the master cylinder. I may as well plan ahead as have been having small clutch issues for the last 6 months which all seem to lead back to the master cylinder and there does not seem to be any sign of a leak. thanks man andy

    Clutch issues

    Hi Guys, Need some input again. I have an odd (well by my standards anyway) one. I got into my car on Saturday and after starting it there was a huge amount of travel in the clutch pedal before it got stiff and hit the biting point. It was fine Friday evening by the way. It was like this all...

    Puddle in the spare wheel well

    This seems to be an issue with the 6th gen accords. When I had decided to buy one I went and looked at at least 20 before settling on my one. Almost all had water in the wheel well and at first I was staying clear of them because of this issue. My own has exactly the same problem and it has...

    Remote Locking issue

    Thanks for the info guys. Just to clarify I never lost central locking. just the ability to use the remote which is working again for some reason and also the alsrm would not arm when locking the car with the key. and also the deadlocks (superlocks) would not work. I think this all linked to the...
