    Getting itchy feet

    So I've had the accord a year (a long time for me) it's got lowish mileage, all the toys I need, I own it outright and it has been perfectly reliable....but I've always loved audi's. I have no good reason to swap it but I've been looking at new shape a4's. My sensible head says keep the accord...

    prefacelift 2.4 type s skirts on facelift 2.0 ex

    Firstly, am I right in thinking the 2.4 type s skirts are more aggressive looking than the ex skirts? If I am then does anyone know if the skirts from a prefacelift 2.4 type s would fit my facelift 2.0 ex? I have found someone selling some quite cheaply and they are already in the right colour!

    Valve clearance adjustment - is it worth it?

    I have no idea when mine were last done so have been considering this when I get it serviced. My local Honda will do a minor service and valves for £245 or I can drive 45 minutes and get a different Honda garage to do it all for £169 (I get a work discount with them) Or the third option is my...

    Road Noise, which tyres are worse?

    Since going from 16 to 17 inch alloys the road noise increase has been massive. I knew going bigger was going to make a difference but didn't expect it to be so bad. I'm conscious that I have 4 tyres which have been worn by another car so they may not be worn the way my car wants to drive...

    Facelift / prefacelift rear windows - Are they the same?

    Does anyone know if I can get the rear windows from a pre facelift saloon and fit them to my facelift saloon? Someone is selling some tinted ones for £30 so it seems a cheap option to tint the rear windows.

    Scuffed my skirt :(

    I foolishly turned left last night without seeing a nice lump of concrete sticking up out of the ground and managed to beach my car on it. After a bit of rocking I managed to escape but have scuffed the underside of my skirt nicely and pulled off a few clips. Does anyone know if Honda sell...

    Would the 2.0 benefit from Iridium spark plugs?

    Mine don't need changing yet but just want to find out if iridium plugs would make any difference. I found a thread on here which suggested iridium but Honda use standard plugs. Anyone had any experience?

    parking sensors not working

    As the ***le says, they have stopped working. It was intermittent first, now they don't engage or make an odd beeping sound. I think sensors are ok, but does the control box have a habit of packing up?
