    DIY Towbar Fitting?

    Thanks Scott, that's encouraging! Did you have to drill anything, that's what concerns me a little, or is it just a case of swapping over the bumper bars? I have a friend who is auto electrician so going to get him to wire up the socket, just want to save some £££ on the actual fitting. Is...

    DIY Towbar Fitting?

    Evening There maybe a need for me to get a towbar fitted to the Tourer soon and I wondered if anyone had fitted their own or done a guide? Just trying to work out if it's DIYable or not? Had a load fitted to different cars in the past and get charged through the nose normally. Cheers Si

    Poor MPG

    Hi bud, yeah it was a full tank dont think I still have the receipt so can't check litres but it was from light to light if you see what I mean?!? I suppose it's not that bad given like you say it was a full load and we weren't hanging about. I think it's easy to see people bound around some...

    Poor MPG

    Update on this and sadly still disappointed - Filled up with £77 of diesel which I used for the odd short journey which totalled 130 miles. On Monday we set off on a family trip to Cornwall for a few days returning this afternoon. The fuel light came on after only 440 miles! Most of these were...

    Boot/Tailgate issues

    Think mine is on the blink, reported some problems last week which sorted themselves after disconnecting the battery. It's done it again today but now won't close on it's own. Fearing the worst it's booked in with Homda next week as the suggestion is this item is covered unto 100k and mine is...

    Poor MPG

    Just having a look through some fuel receipts after my first month or so of ownership and made a shocking discovery!!! My most recent fill up cost £73.00 for regular diesel, this works out as 53 litres which converts to roughly 14 gallons. This tank of fuel provided 360 miles which means I got...

    Got A Boot Problem!

    Ok so it's sorted?!?!?! I removed the positive battery terminal, left for 15 mins, reconnected it, opened and closed it once manually to reset and it's fine?? Why would that have happened out of the blue? Is it a sig that I am heading for a slippery slope of problems with the tailgate or is it...

    Got A Boot Problem!

    Anyone bought fitted Tourer Sun Shades

    Yeah I used 2 per side on passenger, none on boot sides and none on rear window - that way I have a handful of spares and the rear ones fit so snug I can't see the need to use them. Best money I have ever spent and look factory too. Si

    Anyone bought fitted Tourer Sun Shades

    I have already encountered the 'non stick' sticky pads! Lol! I have found a great solution - Halfords sell rolls of heavy duty Velcro which I normally buy to hold on my numberplates with and it is extremely strong. If you cut slithers of this it fits nicely on the frame and the underside of the...

    How many miles you have left in your tank?

    The Accord sadly doesn't have any onboard computer which is odd really given the sector it is in and the competition it's aimed at. No such luxury as range, miles to empty, external temp I am afraid. Si
