I don't think there is ever any subscription to pay for TMS. Its a free signal sent over certain radio frequencies that just needs a decoder. Unfortunately I never got mine working in my car and am no longer a Honda owner.

Does anyone else think that the tyres always look underinflated on the front when pumped to the correct pressures or is it just me. It must be a pretty heavy lump in there even if bits of it are aluminium.

This happened to me too, also in Northern France. I was heading back to the tunnel and saw the icon turn green. A bit of fiddling and trying to find the right voice command to display the traffic events, followed by the obligatory repeating of said voice commands to get the car to understand me...

Just an update as it has been a while. I have disconnected the battery and checked the aerial connection but no problems were found and it still isn't working...well in the UK at least. Yesterday when driving back North to Calais I noticed the TMC icon go green and stay green. I had a quick play...

That's funny, I did post some pics up. I had a quote of your original post with some of my pics inserted at the relevent points, seems to have gone walkies... Well here they are again: Primer pump with bracket/cover. You can see the primer pump at the top of the photo here: The aluminium...

Hah, I've just spotted this thread after adding to the end of Gathor's. I did my EGR this weekend too and noticed that there wasn't a guide for thefacelift model...and now there is! My car has done 100k and the EGR is not as bad as yours. Not sure why. I don't use any VPD or fancy fuel...

Well I was supposed to be doing a full 100k service but I got distracted and thought I'd have a go at cleaning the EGR following a comment made by one of the lads at HH when I was picking up the service kit. I mentioned about the engine speed dropping slightly when braking, I've posted about...

Just did the 100k service on my car last weekend and used CJM's very helpful guide on changing the fuel filter. I took some pics in the process so I thought I'd add them to the thread. I found the guide pretty much spot on with everything covered. I didn't have the Honda tool to unscrew the...

I just cleaned out the swirl valve (?) and EGR this weekend on my facelift Tourer (100k miles). It was nothing like as bad as yours Gathor. I did this a few years back on my pre-facelift tourer and it was about as bad as the one in your pics. One thing I did notice from the depths of my memory...

You could be right Pepster, washing the car doesn't normally get to the top of my priority list I'm afraid to say. I do so many miles that a nice clean sparkling car only lasts 5 minutes. Both times I've checked the seals they have been dirty and it looks like that is the reason they've failed...

I've had two Tourers, a pre-facelift and my current 56 plate one. Both have suffered from leaking door seals at about 100k miles and both from the same place. The first car I tried to fix but I wasn't very successful. I've just finished fixing my current car, so fingers crossed it will work...

I didn't get a chance to disconnect the battery when I got home last night as the heavens opened. I'll try it in a couple of weeks after my holiday. I do wonder about the reception. Generally it is okay but there have been times when I have wondered if the signal was weaker than it should be.

I put the diagnostic on this morning on the way in to work. I did see the signal strength get to 8. I think you are right though, checking the aerial would be the next step. I'll have a look in a couple of weeks when I get back from holiday. I've got the Workshop manual but if I need more help...

Just been out to get some photos of the TMC diagnostic screen. I sat there for a couple of minutes and the frequency kept changing. Here are some shots...

Brett, thanks for that. I get similar figures except for the provider count which is never anything other than 0. I will try disconnecting the battery as suggested.

Does the 7th gen accord have switches on the headlights to deflect the beam or do you have to put on deflectors or masks?

I've driven the entire length of the country from the far north of scotland to lands end at various times and I've never had a single traffic report. I'd like to think I was just lucky in avoiding queues but in reality I have spent far too much of my life stationary on motorways. Surely based...

The disc is 3.01. I've had a look at the TMC diagnostic page, it never seems to get any channels on the display. Ed, if you wouldn't mind letting me try another disc that'd be great.

No the car is out of warranty. Unfortunately.

Have you noticed a difference in the car since cleaning all that crap out?
