    Knocking when starting and stopping engine

    Hi all. I get about 5 knocks in quick succession when starting and stopping the engine. Any ideas what the problem is please? I've read around and I've read it could be the oil. It is due for a change next month so I will do that next week.

    Has anyone got experience in silicone blades?

    Hi guys. I watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpdgahDp2Wg and it said that silicone are better, and it explains why you can't find them in stores. Does anyone have any experience who can confirm/deny these claims? Thanks.

    Can I top up 0w30 with 5w30?

    Hi all. Did my first oil change today. I waited until for about 10 minutes after dripping started (when draining). Edit-just realised I forgot to open the oil intake cap, but I did open (but not remove) the oil filter cap. I then removed the axle stands. Now, I had a 5l and a 1l of 0w30. I...

I parked up and noticed the locks wouldn't react to the "lock" button on he fob (I can hear clunking when I push the "unlock" button" so I locked with the key in door and thought the fob battery may be dying.

    Hi guys. I've tried following http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/15-7th-generation/30195-how-open-windows-remote-key-fob.html but it doesn't work for me. Could it be that this trick doesn't work in UK versions? If not, should I try the window reset? Thanks in advance.

    £110 for garage oil change. Eye-watering?

    I told my mechanic that I wanted 0w30 and he changed the oil in front of me. I would have done it myself but I don't have a garage nor stilts. There was a deal for National Tyres who were charging £43 (that was before I knew I should put 0w30) but they cancelled on me so I decided to go to the...

    Air vents pushing air randomly without being switched on

    Hi. Does anyone know why this happens? I can't tell what triggers it, it seems random. When I turn it on it works fine but sometimes it pushes out air without being turned on by the buttons. It's never the air con though, it's very subtle. Thanks
