    Chris Knott Phone call

    Well I called them last week and tbh the response wasn't good. I did not have the exact date of my current renewal with me (though I know it is due in the next month based on the debits taken out each month from the existing broker). I was told to call back later as they could not provide me...

    Faulty Key or remote Opening ?

    It's happened a couple of times now, I've got up in the morning and the car has been unlocked. I'm certain I have used the fob before retiring and set the deadlock by pressing twice, the main door lock was vanadlised a couple of years back so I make sure both fobs are charged with battery...

    Injector Retaining bolts i-CTDI

    I think I've got to replace at least two of them, can anyone provide the new/before, after/limit dimensions on them if any exist ? What does one do when the injector seal mounting has already been cut (by a previous owner) , add a shim or file/grind a turn off the bolt itself ? I get just on...

    ABS Light fault

    If I start the ignition the three lights on the dashboard stay on as opposed to going out after three seconds. They only go out once the car is moving, approximately 30m in a straight line. I've had this anomaly ever since I've owned the tourer The MOT man will no longer pass the car until it...

    Front Suspension bush - Inside

    Advisory on the MOT, though they said it should be dealt with pretty quickly. So, what is involved and the level of difficulty. I'm not keen on getting under the car anyway (moreso if I have to prop it up, even with axle stands). Or will I need to support by another means ? Thanks in advance

    Hose leak on engine

    So, I have a small leak, from a small vertial pipe at the front of the engine. It's right in the centre and appears to be clamped on with a heavy spring circlip at the lower end, I can't see what is up top though without removing some bits. Does Honda supply the original part or is it...

    Not a Fault, clutch replacement pricing at 175000 miles

    https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/review-clutch-install-accord-i-ctdi.96/#post-263802 I've looked through the above thread - very impressive - but far too tricky to do myself. At 175000+ miles I can feel the odd vibration coming back through the pedal and slipping is now getting...

    Paintwork on my Tourer

    I had a small knock on a roundabout yesterday - other driver has admitted fault - and the rear quarter currently has some scratches on metal panel below the fuel inlet and the bumper where is wraps around underneath. Mine is blue, but dark, darker than this one...

    N/S Engine Mount - replacing ?

    I noticed in my check of the -ve battery terminal points last week that the nearside engine mount did not have much rubber left in it, and may explaiin the odd knocking noises from under the bonnet. While I was able to fix/replace the drivers side a couple of years ago without much difficulty...

    Battery - Negative Earth Connections

    Some of you may have read my previous thread on the copper conducting lead and its connection to the front bodywork just above the n/s headlight, and the corrosion of the bolt, plus the paint that seems to be in between the two metal surfaces. Since I've alredy cleaned this up but seem to be...

    Conversion to SCR (AdBlue) ?

    Now Khan has been elected for another four years the ULEZ zone extension moves forward to October, preventing me from driving another two relatives back home after Sunday lunch. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/sadiq-khan-s-ulez-expansion-hit-thousands-london-drivers-b935139.html THere...

    Lazy Research

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-54130862 Obviously there are currently few resources to check on individual vehicles, their drivers (nor the driving techniques), but even so...... Just like the MOT emissions being based on the manufacturers specifications, regardless of the age/condition...

    Not a Honda Fault, just another lowlife.

    Before the Christmas period I noticed the door lock become somewhat stiffer to operate than usual, so thinking I might have bent the key I had a good look around for the spare, at the same time ordering a CR1616 to replace what was no longer working. Fond the spare on New Years Eve to try and lo...

    To all Honda Accord Owners. May the made up particulate rules, pompous local town mayors and pseudo eco-keyboard warriors not screw you too much in 2020.

    Snapped / Sheared Engine Mounting bolt

    This is on the offside front mount, the one nearest the ABS/VSA unit. There are two bolts, each 10cms long with a 17mm head, one of which is not bolted to anything and just pulls out of the circular mount, the other has sheared about halfway down the threaded section, leaving the remainder in...

    Bigger battery in the Tourer

    I was kindly given a battery out of a Ford Transit three weeks ago (80 Amp hour) which the customer had replaced under warranty following a breakdown in 2016. Having charged it up carefully on a cherished Optimate Mk1 (for motorcycles) and finding the battery was holding at around 12.7V for...

    In this Weather - VSA On or Off ?

    I saw the light flashing a couple of times this morning as I made my way into work (outside temperature between -3 /-4 C), but to be honest there was no perceived change in the cars stability, on or off. I do carry a lot of junk evenly distributed across all wheels so the tyres might just be...

    Negative Earth Connection - front bulkhead

    I had the car die on me for the first time in weeks after short town journeys, I've got a replacement battery coming tomorrow as the one in there was out of the previous car and is somewhat smaller in size. Stupidly I had parked on an uphill stretch with no turning circle, usually I would...
