Been a while, life seems to be going at warp speed over the last year! Anyway the Accord has been fine, until this week: Decided on a short break in S.Wales and all was good until a check transmission warning came on and the green D started flashing :( . Anyway, turned off and left for a...

:wacko: :wacko: :wacko: The Mrs wanted to change her car for something bigger, she only does town work so didn't need something big. We've ended up with a new A3 1.0tfsi. I know, it's not the done thing but I have to admit, through gritted teeth and with some shame that it's a cracking car...

Decided to have a look at the PVC valve yesterday. It's done 122k and as you can imagine it was a bit dirty in there so gave it a good clean with throttle body cleaner. Whilst I was in there I popped of the air intake to have a peek inside the throttle body and found a nice crusty build up...

I've posted this on the other forum but hoping for some more input/thoughts: When braking I get a very fleeting message on the dash, at first i couldn't catch the message. However, its started staying on longer, the message is 'Check System' with a battery icon next to it, the red charging...

Hi all Just swapped my 2003 Accord 2.4 Exec tourer for a 2008 Accord 2.4 Exec tourer. Very happy so far but slightly disappointed that unlike the 2003 car it doesn't have HIDs. I know there's things like the Phiips Nightbreakers etc but would prefer HIDs. I've seen kits with the 35w, slim...

The windscreen trim on the RH side (looking form the outside) has come loose. It doesn't want to clip back in so I think the retaining clips have broke. I've also got a squeak from that area so I'm presuming it's related. Has anyone had this problem or refitted the trim?

So after loads of trouble finally got a working DVD ROM. Installed the latest software (2.11) all fine but the dam warning screen is taking ages to load, 10 minutes being the longest before the 'OK' button appears, after that its fine. Wondering if to force download the older software to see if...

Are the speakers in the doors on the EX full range or bass/mid? Just wondering if the front pair cross over to the tweeters in the dash too?

Had a small service today and included the ATF (Honda's own). The car is now 10 years old, done 80k and in fairness looks or drives nothing like that age. The gear change was getting a slight jerkiness but nothing I noticed to be particularly bad and still felt better than most autos I've...

Took the battery off last night to give it a good charge. Put it back on this afternoon and all I get on the sat nav screen is a message saying it's looking for the gps signal and could take up to 10 mins. I've waited and nothing happens, tried it a few times and same message. Has anyone else...

Failed on seized rear brakes, seized caliper, pads down etc etc. Advisory on exhaust, they said it failed emissions first time round as there's a crack in the joint to the back box but they sealed it and it passed. Exhaust wont get through next MOT, so that's a new exhaust a some point. Just...

With the wet weather and my car standing still for a few days at a time I thought it might be an idea to give the electrics a dose of WD40 but what do I actually treat?

The short and infrequent journeys I'm currently doing are taking their toll on the battery. I had a new one fitted a few months back at the local car electrical garage and he was laughing at how small the battery was. The mechanic next door couldn't believe the battery size when he popped his...

The two backboxes are looking scruffy with black patches, it's time to give them a coat of summat, has anyone done this or can recommend a paint? would Hammerite stand the heat?

Can someone point towards where I can purchase/download the workshop manual for the '03 Accord? Ta

Okay, car is at 75k now and is an '03. I can't find any mention in the service book of the transmission fluid being done and I didn't have it done at the 75k service. There can be a slight judder when accelerating from low speeds, I'm pretty sure it's not the engine so I'm thinking maybe the...

Just looking at purchasing front pads and discs. I notice Euro Car Parts have a 25% off coupon (which does work I've tried it), they only have Pagid pads and discs for my model. I do know when I was with Merc Pagid was one of the standard fit pads on new cars and they seemed fine but just...

So I'm driving along and up pops the VSA light with the ! light on. Totally out of the blue and never happened before. I've turned the engine off and on again and it hasn't reappeared but I've not drove it very far. I know this is known on the diesels but mines the 2.4. The front discs are...
