Hi guys. Two years ago I had the rear discs and pads changed. 12 months ago during the MOT the brake line to the rear burst and was replaced. Two weeks ago I noticed a thudding on braking. On stopping and checking both rear discs are rusted, it looks like both calipers have seized. Is it...

Hi guys, While driving last night I noticed something unusual. I drove from Bolton To Manchester and then onto Glossop, no issues. I then drove back by which time it was absolutely freezing (about 1 degrees outside with freezing rain) Just as I was coming off the motorway I thought that the...

Hi guys. Had MOT today on W reg 2.0i Se Exec. It passed :) However there was a 'dangerous' advisory: 'Rear bumper support member badly corroded, loose and may detach.' Is there a DIY for this? Also he said it would be ok to simply remove this as oppose to replacing it. Is this advisable...

I need to replace the ignition switch Accord W plate 2.0i Executive ES Auto Symptoms - cuts out for no reason. I have noticed play in the ignition switch for a bit, this has resulted now in it cutting out intermittently. When it cuts out, If I hold the key slightly forward the engine stays...

Just got back from a short drive. I stopped at the lights and the car stalled. (automatic SE) I tried a number of times to restart, it turned the engine over but died. It eventually started and got me about 800 metres up the road and did it again. It took about another 8-10 tries before it...

Put the car in for an MOT this morning, all would have been okay except after I left, they drove it into the bay for the MOT and a brake pipe burst. They are replacing the pipe and sorting it so hopefully will be ok. However, they have mentioned that the offside rear brake isn't working...

I don't have a manual, and am generally not much of a mechanic but want to check the brake fluid level. I realise this is going to sound stupid, but which is the brake fluid reservoir in the engine bay? I have looked around and cannot find any pics of the engine bay. When ripping me a new one...

While driving the other day I noticed there console brake light was on. I thought perhaps I hadn't put the hand brake fully down so checked and the light went out. Sorted... I thought. Until this morning while driving it came on again. It went off then on then off and stayed off. Any ideas? I...

I have decided that even though the car starts first time every time I need a new battery. The cold mornings means it won't kickstart the head unit every time. The one fitted is a 60AH with CCA 500. (Honda 2.0 SE Exec W reg) Any recommendations? (price is a consideration but I don't want to...

Hi I have just had my Double Din Chinese Head unit replaced as the radio module had stopped working. I have fitted the new one and everything worked fine. That is until the next day when I got in to the car and there was no power to the unit. Resetting it did nothing. I had to take the unit...

Car has been driving fine and this morning while driving to uni the light came on. Code reader shows 1166 and 1167. I erased the code but the light came back on the instant I started the engine (it has done this twice) Could anyone give me a start point before I head down to the garage please...

Posted some time back that the dreaded eml had come on. Got the RAC to check it, egr valve insufficient lift - car acted no differently. Advice on here was to go and see Andy at VtecDirect. Took it there and they gave it a proper degunge and all was fine for about two weeks and it came on again...

For a 6th Gen automatic 2.0i se exec (2000)

Out driving this morning and all of a sudden the dreaded light comes on. Car behaves no differently. There was no reason no noises or sounds. I have no idea. Only thing done recently was timing belt changed by Honda 2 months ago. I'm probably going to have to take it to Honda on Monday but...

It's a 2000 Accord SE Exec with headlight covers one of which is smashed. Does anyone know where they can be got from?

Today I had the timing belt and balance shaft belt done at Gordons Honda in Bolton. (£300) Their free check only picked up the following: 1) Oil on minimum...sorted ! (Castrol Pro 10W40) 2) Rear brake pads only have about 3-4k left on them... arranged for Ferrodos to be fitted for £50 by local...

I have taken delivery of the accord yesterday and I love it. Everything is working great and it drives so smoothly. (2.0i SE Exec Auto on a W plate) I can' verify whether it has a timing belt change or not so have to get it done (79,000 miles). My first port of call was Honda Bolton who quoted...
