    Vibrations at 50-60mph

    When I described it to the Parts man, he was able to show me a picture of it on an exploded parts diagram. Well if it makes the car smoother at idle, I don't think I'll notice. But it is broken, so I've got nothing to loose. Other than not actually solving the stupid vibration that comes at...

    Vibrations at 50-60mph

    I have the same symptoms. No vibration when NOT accelerating. No vibration when Braking. Vibration as I accelerate from 50 to 70 in any gear, but the harder I accelerate the worse the vibration. Car is smooth from 70 to erm more than 70. If I had a private airfield, It might possibly be smooth...

    VAS, ABS light is on.

    That's it. Anyone local to either Miseryside or Hemel Hempstead, (or more on less on the way between the 2), that can read the codes and tell me if I should scrap the car. ?/??? Yes I've read all the posts about cleaning switches, and having the module fixed, so I know it doesn't have to be as...

    excessive vibration and smoke in engine bay on start up

    Due to the brilliant reliability this is my first post since sept 2012. I've been frequenting an Mx5 and Mini forum very regularly as they are PITA BUT now at 103K !! At idle there's a weird vibration, which sort of comes and goes. Plus the exhaust manifold must be leaking when cold...

    Not very impressed!

    Before I bought the Accord, the most I'd ever paid for a car was £2500 for a K reg 1.4 Ax diesel in 1998. That in fact was the most reliable car I've ever owned. Most recently I've had experience of a Volvo s40 with 130K on the clock, which had a very expensive engine issue ready to pounce on...

    CD Changer Error

    Due to a lack of funds to fix something that is not as important as say brakes or oil or tyres or filters, or headlight bulbs, I have done ****** all to fix this, but I'd really like to get 5 of my 6 discs out one day. Problem is that without a manual, i can't work out how to safely remove...

    How much is it worth?

    You've "Lost" £7 or £8 THOUSAND pounds in depreciation and that's not much of a loss? I'd be cross. :o I've been driving 25 years and I reckon my average yearly depreciation loss has been £400. Mind you I'd never spent more than £2k on a car until I bought the Accord for £4,600 (instead of...

    Anti-Roll Bar Droplink Replacement

    I've just done the Drivers side following MOT failure (although I'm not sure it was like that before the MOT :( One thing to note. Despite the use of WD40 neither nut was EVER going to undo, And my 14 mm ring spanner was just going to round off the Nut. so I had to go out and but a nut...

    quick how to on replacing the dipped beam bulb on the driver's side headlamp

    The ironic thing about this is the bulb hadn't gone, but the connection to the earth was dodgy, but hey. So there I am staring at the white or grey plastic cover which with a torch I've managed to find and drop so that my fat fingers can not touch it, the only tools I have in the car at an 11...

    8th gen as a family car

    oh how I laugh. Just after the birth of our second child in 1996 our family cars were a Metro 1275 sport and a 1.4 AX diesel. Never had a problem getting 3 kids in the back of either. plus a buggy in the boot. Went on holiday in the AX, a few times. I'm fairly convinced any Accord from...
