John, I'm gutted for you I know how hacked off I was with the whole rear brake aroma syndrome. Let's hope she's all sorted soon and not pulling you off, ooh er mrs, to the left or right either.

Dear Yam66, First of all congratulations on your Type S Wagon, nice I'm not well jel at all, lol I hope this little episode doesn't put you off Accord, she's a good old girl really and usually low maintenance. A bit like my wife. Anyhoo, 150 miles is a long way to travel, unless you're...

All the gubbins: calipers, pistons, clips etc just needed a good lube. I used to take my Honda Prelude to him in the 90s and as I moved away from the city completely forgot I had a local mechanic. He's looked after my brother and his cars for over 25+ years.

Brakes now all sorted. Took it to my local tech and he sorted all four brakes, for a tenner!

Rich, Many thanks. I will need to get a second opinion to make sure it is the caliper and not the caliper piston. The piston is a fare price too.

Dayum! Why am I so far from Warrington, lol. It could have been a nice little earner for you.

The pads were changed last Friday my friend, it's a new/second-hand caliper I'm struggling to find at the mo. Luckily I've still got my 7th gen saloon to mince around in

Yep that's like telling me to lock the stable door yadda yadda

Oh I see. Anyhoo, it appears to be a caliper seizure, aw snap! I'm just going to park her up and enjoy the saloon for a bit rather than instigate further frustration this weekend.

Haha. I'm back in not so sunny Leicester, refunding the wrong ones and hopefully the new ones will be sorted

Take them off? You're ***uming some degree of motor vehicle competence. I can just about spell my own name. Lol but your idea has merit. So are you coming down to MK anytime soon?

I'm not the only one feeling the rear end brake pain then: Honda advised that the rear brakes were down to 80%, fair enough they were said my car guy in Leicester. Ordered the pads, Mon, arrived Wed. Went to my car guy today to find that they're not the right type even though I put all the...

Narrowed it down to the Lexus IS220d, Mazda MX5 (3rd Gen) or this Honda Accord iDTEC Ex Tourer. Is time to say goodbye to Accord number umpteen?

I seldom used the climate control since buying her in Oct 2014 so don't know if the compressor ever worked. It's a weekend and usually a fair weather car. Another thing. Honda advised that the rear brakes were down to 80%, fair enough they were said my car guy in Leicester. Ordered the pads...

Another thing for me to consider, lovely.

I love it when you guys go off on one

Many thanks for this

Took my 58 wagon for an air conditioning service as she wasn't blowing hot or cold. Honda charged me £65 for telling me what I already knew, that the ac wasn't working. Grrr! Anyhoo, they said they had to regas her and will take off the £65 when (I'm thinking if) I take her back for a closer...

Hiya Scott, I recently won 4 x Michelin Alpin 5 Winter Tyres from a well known auction site for my 8th gen Accord. £600 new but £280 to me as they were used (only 50 miles) It looked like it too as you could still see that brand new little rubber nodules. Mega deal or what! Anyhoo, I know...

I've had the aforementioned work done by Grand Wizard F6had. My wagon's cruise control worked faultlessly before and after the work carried out. Also Stonesfan, the ES GT Auto in which you show interest may be an iDTEC rather than iCDTI, Two different, yet lovely engines.
