As far as I'm aware the brakes are fine, but I'll take a look probably at the weekend as I'm replacing the lower power steering cooler pipe that is leaking.

Hi Richard, No the car has not been lowered, it's standard spec.

Thanks for the response I've not had it up in the air yet, when I checked underneath it was whilst all four wheels were on the ground. I'm not really suffering with vibration, except for at very high speed, which has been like this for a number of years, so doesn't seem out of the ordinary for...

Hi Richard, I don't mind being asked at all. No the driveshafts and CV's haven't ever been changed. The car has covered 130000 miles and generally been most reliable. You're not wrong when you say it drives you nuts

Hi thanks for the response No I've not replaced it recently and it could possibly help, but I'm not 100% that this would be the problem. I've had another look underneath at the driveshafts and confirmed that there is movement on the inner CVs where they enter the gearbox. I'm able to wiggle...

Hi guys It's been a while since I was last here and have come with cap in hand to beg for forgiveness. I have a bit of a quandary with the transmission in the fact that every now and then I get a noise that sounds like the gears are loud under load ie when on the accelerator and changing up...

Mine had a replacement screen and there was some surface rust, which was from a previously replaced screen. Also the car has a couple of dents where the screen meets the roof which may allow for water ingress. The rust was only visible once the screen was removed though so I was none the wiser...

I agree with Andy about the engine weight. I put around 36 psi in all 4 of mine and the fronts have always appeared slightly flatter but they're not.

The best I ever achieved was 900 miles from 61.43 litres of supermarket diesel. The cars computer read 71mpg, but my calculations worked out at 66.5mpg. That was a mixture of M25 and North London driving. The tank before that was around 850 miles from a similar amount of diesel.

I had a similar issue after a service which I eventually diagnosed to be the EVR Valve after throwing a P1237 code and swapping solenoids. Here's the thread hope it helps.

I don't fully recall why I joined up but having purchased my Accord I probably wanted info on servicing and faults etc. I think this was the first forum that I joined as I tend to be an anti-social bugger. I tend to frequent the 7th gen area and it's subsections making use of the DIY/Faults...

Hi Andy, 900 miles does sound a bit ridiculous but it is achievable with a saloon if you are doing a lot of motorway miles and take hypermiling to the extreme. Having said that I do carry a heavy box in the boot and haven't checked the tyre pressures in a while plus during that tank full I got...

I know the feeling of bricking it, having just got 40 (town) miles out of the car after the trip computer read 0 there was a small amount of fear I might run out, but still got 61.43 litres in the tank after 900 miles! So still 3.5 litres before I reach the theoretical empty tank (I wonder if...

Did you break into a cold sweat when the computer read 0 only to fill an anticlimax when you filled up!!! The manual states that it's 65 Ltrs.

Hi Dave, the car is bog standard and the speed is generally around 60 mph give or take. I do try keep a consistent speed so generally use the cruise control plus sometimes sit behind whichever lorry is going fastest at the time (not suggesting you should do this), which isn't all the time as I'm...

Yeah I think it works out to nearly 64 mpg and the cars computer said something like 68 mpg. At first I wasn't really that bothered about the mpg on the first fill up as at one point I had to drive rather eagerly shall we say as the wife was late for a hospital appointment. She has subsequently...

On my last 2 fill ups I've put 60.74 Ltr and 61 Ltr exactly. The fuel light came on and I still got the best part of 200 miles out of the tank. The fuel computer read 0 when I got 816 miles and I eventually filled up after 851 miles as I know I regularly get at least 30 miles out of the tank...

sorry about the double post but the site gave me a fatal error when posting so I thought it didn't post.

Nice I should be on for something similar (hopefully 740ish), but I've been driving mainly on A and B roads with about a third motorway driving, plus the wife has been clocking a few miles round town eating up the precious MPG! last couple of tanks have been 692 and 696 miles on a 59 litre fill...

Hi Mark Just to add my 10 pence worth, I would say that whilst the iCTDi is by no means quick it is quite refined and gets up to speed with ease as the power delivery is not so peaky. As your no doubt aware the clutch wear will hasten with faster launches and fast acceleration up through the...
