    I am missing my owners manual for my '04 2.2 diesel. Can someone tell me what is the official Honda oil check procedure for the Accord? Engine hot/cold and check with engine running/not running? Thanks.

    I just had my car in for the NCT test (Irish version of MOT). The car failed for the smoke/emissions test. What could have caused this? The car had it's timing chain replaced about 2 months ago. However, when I got it back it was going into limp mode intermittently. I noticed when this was...

    Brake discs query

    I'm shopping online for replacement discs. I found this link in another thread. Are the rear discs for the '04 Touring different to the saloon? It appears from the EBC site the front discs are the same for the saloon and tourer but differ for the rear. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks. K.

    Where's my colour code?

    I'm trying to find the colour code for my car but can't find. Can anyone help? Checked the inside of the driver's side door jamb but the only sticker there is the one for tyre pressures. Is it listed on the VIN plate?

    A worrying discovery

    I was doing an engine oil change on Thursday. Got the fully synthetic 0 W 30 from the local motor factors and a new oil filter from my local Honda dealer. While doing the change, I was surprised to find the new filter was too big. Approx 25-30mm longer than the filter currently fitted. I...

    Boot floor warped

    The boot floor that lifts up for access to the spare wheel is warped (must have gotten wet at some point in it's life). As a result, it's bouncing around and is quite noticeable when I'm driving. Is it possible to replace this part of the boot lining?
