AFAIk if you have xenons you are supposed to have auto headlight levellers. I read somewhere recently that the MOT rules are changing soon and they will now check if you have auto levellers. Therefore you might end up paying a fortune to convert and then having grief every year at MOT time.

Judder felt through the brake pedal and steering wheel normally points towards a front brake/wheel problem, while judder felt thru the brake pedal and car (but not the steering wheel) normally points towards the rears. Pulling to one side would also direct me to suspect the fronts first...

I can't say for definite whether the glow plug and oil lights are somehow related on the Accord, but in general car terms they are not. Normally the glow plug light relates to the diesel pre-heating system or perhaps informs you of another electrical / engine management related problem. The...

I don't disagree that you'd have trouble getting an insurance company to pay out for car theft if you've left it open with the keys inside, irrespective of whether it's on your driveway, a filling station or elsewhere. However my point is that none of the figures stated anywhere mention anything...

Thanks for the replies. I'll monitor it over the forthcoming months and report back.

I think the figures are twisted. Notice there's no mention of cars being stolen with the engine running and the doors locked - they all mention stolen with the keys and the car unlocked, including the quote about the insurance companies not paying out. Obviously we all need to be vigilant and...

I'm not bothered whether it's legal or not. I don't see the police much at 2.30am on my driveway in my quiet residential street when I'm going to work. I also don't see anyone else much at that time either so the chances of the car getting nicked in my opinion are very low. Even lower with...

I can deffo lock mine when the engine is running by using the spare key in the drivers door. Did you have all the doors closed? perhaps your door lock has seized up. Try locking using the key without the engine running first to determine. BTW I tried it first time with the window open just in...

Hi, Does anyone have any input on the "heat up quick on cold days" heater system thingy (←technical term) on the cdti? The owners' manual seems a bit vague. I've had the first cold day (2 degrees) and didn't notice any difference. It's not that the car takes forever to get warm (about 5...

I have the wind reflectors on both front Windows and they are excellent. No water ingress until the window is down about 4 inches.

Hi, I've not had my 56 plate facelift saloon long and have just finished a full tank of diesel. I got 540 miles from it and it took 51.3 litres to fill it back up, which cost me £70.75. The computer said 57.1 mpg, but my manual calculation says more like 47.8 mpg. How can it possibly be...

Thanks for all the replies. I'd thought of this but the boot light goes on/off along with the boot-open indicator on the dash. There's a key-operated switch on the drivers' floor of mine which I think does the same. Ok, so judging by all you guys' kind replies, it looks like it's a saloon...

Mine is deffo the same as road detective, even tho the manual states it should do as matt's. I wonder how you change it

The owners manual for my car states that it will auto-lock after about 30 secs if the drivers door or the boot haven't been opened. However opening the boot definitely doesn't disable it on mine, as I found out yesterday when I locked myself out (don't ask). BTW it took about one minute flat...
