It stayed firmly attached until the Acord and I parted company about this time last year. Hopefully it's still ok for the new owner ;)

@stellamon I'd be pretty disappointed with that. I averaged 54mpg over my 70,000 mile ownership, but that was (on the whole) being quite careful. Best return on a tank was 64.5mpg, worst was 44.6.mpg. I'm only getting 51mpg out of the Golf. Same driver, same journeys. Smaller car, smaller engine...

After thoroughly cleaning with a toothbrush to get all the dust and grime out a previous failed repair (not mine!) and allowing to dry I used clear Sticks Like Sh*t adhesive (Toolstation or Screwfix). I gaffa taped across the the trim onto the windows (knowling I could easily get any residue...

I have always had to file a little of the paint from the (genuine Honda) pads so they are free to move (but not loose), others claim this is unnecessary -but it has worked for me across both my Accords

The tiny screw (on a fixed, non-flipping) key is usually threadlocked in place. A brief warm with a soldering iron is enough to soften the threadlock to the point where the screw can be undone without obliterating the head. Once it has been undone a time or two it doesn't need to be heated...

Same here. I found the screw was tight enough when refitted without any additional threadlocking compound.

I had to put the code in when I had the battery off. Came with the car on a little credit card thingie tucked in the user manual. Not sure if you only remove some of the plug though...

It used to be the case that when you'd made enough posts to the forum the traders section would be opened up to you

This was a very long time ago, but it worked for me: https://jmp.sh/XUzrlr7

My 8th Gen periodically made some unpleasant smells. I kept looking for a binding brake or a plastic bag stuck to the exhaust. My Golf produces the same aroma, only with the VW I'm 99% sure when it is and isn't doing a DPF regen (it sits at higher idle RPM) and am pretty sure that's the cause of...

Fuel starvation usually comes with a light on the dash, but a blocked fuel filter would be worth ruling out. Has the car had one lately, and was it a Bosch / Honda one?

Take a look at post 6 in this thread (which I slightly hijacked at the time :rolleyes:) for me it was driveshafts :https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/looking-to-purchase-8th-gen-accord-need-advise.25199/

Not quite the same (and a different car!) but might be worth you having a read of this... http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/25199-looking-to-purchase-8th-gen-accord-need-advise/?p=258226

Don't factory HIDs have auto levelling? Don't know if the servo is the same or if it can be used with the manual control.

The diesel has a bleed screw. Not sure about the petrol though... https://jumpshare.com/v/mprzi3UImox4smTDG521?b=BeWHD7OnJYhyV465pCFH

The children are that little bit older now, so no pushchairs and the like to cart around, and work use of my estate car boot has fallen off lately so I've gone for something a bit smaller and more nimble - a 184 Golf GTD hatch. It's early days but it feels very well put together, quick and...

After close on 5 years, the trusty 8th Gen i-DTEC tourer and I have parted company. I’ve kept scrupulous records for my car, detailing all servicing costs (all the routine stuff was done on the drive at home using genuine parts at half the recommended intervals –thanks Holdcroft & LubeTech)...

For what it's worth (very little!) the replacement slider pins I fitted to my 7th Gen some time ago both had flats on, but the originals were one flat / one round. The flats / no flats didn't have a noticeable effect when everything was back together. There must be a reason they leave the...

as shaun75 said to get the handbrake set up on the wheels. You can fine adjust from inside the car: http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/24303-2009-accord-exec-handbrake-adjustment/
