Hi folks, the car has been struggling to start from cold in the last few weeks, but it started instantly when warm. Today it didn't start from cold. The RAC guy said it was likely a fuel pressure pump problem. The EML was on as well. I haven't changed the fuel filter in 2.5 years... he said...

Hi, which replacement bulb do I buy for the third brake light?

Thinking of changing to something smaller and faster... ...But it's hard to justify replacing my Accord. It just works. It's a great all-rounder, no problems with short journeys, perfect on long journeys. Great on fuel. Comfortable. Has the gadgets you need. (Folding mirrors is an option on...

Since the last major service, I've done a grand total of 4000 miles. :D I'm thinking I shouldn't bother servicing it this year due to the low mileage which has been a mixture of urban and a/b roads -- the car sounds and drives fine. I have had it serviced every year, but I don't see the point...

Just had a new clutch fitted at an indie garage and I can't engage 1st and reverse. The others are okay when driving, but notchy when the engine's off. Any idea what it could be?

Engine vibrations are transmitting onto the steering wheel, back of the drivers seat, footwell and the dash at idle. Had the exhaust manifold done, so I can rule that out. It's done 92K. I don't think it's DMF. The engine note doesn't change with the clutch down. Any ideas?

Just had the car battery changed and now the key fob is not doing anything. If I unlock the car manually, it only opens the driver door and car alarm goes off. Do I need to recalibrate the fob with the car? I know one fob key needs a battery change, but even the spare key does not unlock the car.

Should Diesel fuel filters be changed every year? If the vehicle is regularly serviced at Honda, do they change it every year? I only use v power, I guess that helps keep the filter cleaner than regular fuel...?

Looking to buy some more clay, anyone used this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Cleaning-Clay-Bar-180g-Detailing-Valeting-/221227345156?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item33822d6504

Hi, so I'm hunting down 2.0 petrols. What am I looking out for on the 2008 model? I've seen a ES GT model, and I really like the look of it, but it's done 60K - wondering what kind of work will need doing at this mileage?

The offside HID failed - it went yellow then died. I've always had condensation problems with the headlights but the main beams always worked fine during the last two years. So I took my car down to the garage to fit new ballasts and lights OEM style. Had the bumper removed, headlights removed...

Had the car serviced on Saturday, included coolant and gearbox oil change. I bought all genuine Honda parts and oils myself. The car sounded reasonable fine on Saturday night on the motorway and on Sunday urban driving. This morning I started the car and I could hear a water trickling sound from...

It's nearly time to do a service on my 2.2. It's done 65K. What kind of prices should a good dealer be quoting? Besides the normal changes, I also want the coolant and transmission fluid changed. I can buy all the parts for less than 200 quid and take it to my local mechanic, but I'd like to...

Fitted four new EAGLE F1 Asymmetric 2 - 225/45 R17 91Y and got the four wheel tracking done. The tracking was way out! The fronts were wearing inside, the rears were wearing outside. They only had a few months to go so I decided to change them all. Tyre noise is much less, the sessanta's were...

Fahad went through some diagnostic tests and found that three of the injectors were way off centre. Injector ONE was fine. There are no engine codes. MPG seems fine. The car feels quick so no loss of power. Only done 60K The engine is nosier which amplifies into the cabin when stationary...

I had new discs and pads fitted in July and today a mechanic told me that the front pads are 70% worn! Any idea why and how to fix this problem of premature wear when I get new pads fitted?

I had the gearbox oil and clutch fluid changed because 1st gear was sometimes a struggle to coax in. Well since the fluid changes, when I drive the car for the first few minutes, the first and second gears are tough to change, it's almost as if the lever has seized and requires a bit of muscle...

Got my 56 plate Accord 2.2 (57 K) serviced: Oil Fuel filter!!! Other filters clutch fluid Gearbox oil Brake fluid Front and rear brake discs Car feels better and even quieter. Thinking about a remap and egr delete.

I drive 200 miles on the motorway this weekend - the car seemed fine. MPG hit about 66.6 at 70. Not bad at all. I started the Accord (ctdi) today and it shook, bad vibrations transmitted through the cabin. Once I was under way, the car was okay. I guess it can only be EGR and/or fuel filter...

I've been checking my oil and it looks black -- and the level is slightly over the mark, but not too bad. I'm quite annoyed that the service didn't seem to include a oil change from the garage I bought it from. I don't think any damage has been done, but I'm changing it this weekend for piece of...
