I was wondering if these might ring bells with anyone: I bled my clutch after the firm pedal/low bite issues I mentioned earlier and it's better but still not right - the bite is a higher now and there's tons of grip, but you still seem to have to bury the pedal sometimes to notch it into first...

I've never seen one without either - which headunit do you have fitted? I take it you don't have the DVD player behind the hatch underneath either? I find the 2.4 feels more like a well balanced 6 pot than the more frantic standard VTEC units. There's no 'whoah' moment, but it pulls deceptively...

Snake oil mate, just like vortex generators and fuel line magnets. If they made any noticeable improvement for minimal cost then they'd be fitted to start with :)

I tend to spend most of my time driving around town getting stuck in fuel-sapping traffic jams, plus the occasional cross country cruise of 15-20 miles, and I average 25mpg under those circumstances. It's almost always 330 miles from full to fuel light, which is about 55 litres. At £73 for that...

Ahh right - mine won't drive the Accord because its too big for her, so I never have to worry about that :) I don't have seat memory anyway so it kind of negates the point of all the motors I think

Probably easier to get those panels re-upholstered, but I couldn't guess at the cost. In all honesty I'd rather my EX didn't have power seats, because it's a lot of weight and complexity for something I now barely adjust.

I don't see the need for a cooldown either unless your driveway backs onto a high speed road - for most people, the final 30mph stretch leading to your door is more than enough for the turbo to cool. The turbos I've seen making that police siren sound tend to have damage to one of the vanes...

Is it definitely the valves? I find injectors are about the noisiest things on the top end these days. Out of interest, what's the routine for the valves on the 2.4 in terms of checks and adjustments?

You could use the old taxi driver trick of cutting a clip off a car at the scrappy and leaving that plugged in :)

Are the fans actually spinning, or is it just wafting warm air through when you're on the move?

I wouldn't worry about it - car companies love switching terminology on you just as you're getting the hang of it :) There are three main differences between aircon and just using the fans: 1. Aircon can reduce the internal temperature of the car below that of the outside. Fans alone can only...

I was expecting this after moving from my Octavia where the climatronic was switchable between AUTO and ECON. the only difference being that the aircon compressor didn't run in ECON mode. It's definitely not as clear on the Honda as it could be though, at least with the touch screen :)

Bonus :) Glad to help!

There's a big difference between a standard disc burned on a duplication rig, and recordable media designed for home use. You really can't compare the two when it comes to degradation rates as you're comparing oxidation to dye damage - different causes, different consequences.

Are you already at the limit of the telescopic adjustment?

Ah gotcha - I have no idea why so many readers don't interrogate ABS codes. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but you'd probably want a definite diagnosis before springing for an expensive repair. No friendly local place who'd do it for a pint? :)

Shorting pins to get codes (often with an LED in series) is an old trick, but if you need to access the codes often it's probably wiser to spring for a cheap reader. There's less risk from wrong connections, and less chance of interpreting it iincorrectly

The trick is to be clear about what you want - that means you need to state the situation so far (including dates), what evidence you have to back up your request, what you would like the dealer to do about it, and the timeframe in which you expect an answer. Do this politely and without emotive...

That's still knocking a good £350 off local estimates, which is a belter of a price :) Still talking to the dealer to work out what's going to happen with mine, but if it doesn't go my way I can see myself giving you a shout :)

Sounds like just the sort of man I need to know! This is where forums really show their worth :) That's on the 6th gen though isn't it? How does swapping a clutch on a 7G compare?
