I'm not sure there is an interval to change it

Hi All I'm currently looking around for a 2.0 i-vtec auto and as you are probably aware they are very rare. I sold mine about 6 months ago to buy a newer car but the whole Covid thing has made me think again and I'm looking to sort finances out an opt for a cheaper car again as I only do about...

No not since the MOT i expect when they were listed as an advisory. The steering does require quite regular corrections so that probably is the cause.

Hi All A couple of months ago I bought a 2009 2.0 i-vtec ES Gt from my local Honda dealer. It has 66k and fsh. When i first got the car I was delighted with how it drove and was enjoying the car with the exception with a slight knock from the front suspension when going over pot holes and...

Cheers. My gut feeling was that I'd of possibly gone for it if it was under 3.5k as it is low mileage and a what looks to be a nice example. It doesn't seem unusual for dealers to put a high price on the last gen 7's if they have low mileage.

Yeah it does, just seems a lot for the age of the car and you'd only be able to sell it on again later at a decent price to an enthusiast but it's just a sign of how well they hold their value.

Hi Al Currently looking to sell my 2012 Passat and save some cash and I've always had Japanese cars before and fancy returning to the fold. I've had accords in the past but never the 2.4 I wanted. Just stumbled upon this which looks great and very low miles but it's pricey. What do you think...

Admittedly I looked at one the last generation Legacy's with the 2.5cvt engine. I'm just not sure that I could put up with 23mpg around town and a max of 30mpg on a run.

Cheers for all the responses. I know 5k is a lot and I'd want a deal on it. The downside of Honda's holding their value I guess!

Yeah I don't disagree although if you do a search on autotrader for gen8 petrol accords there are next to none available. I saw a 59 plate with 60k for sale at a nearby Honda dealer recently for 9k. I'd be happier closer to the 4k mark from a dealer but I doubt they'll budge that much!

Hi All I'm desperately in the market for a new motor as i'm leaving my company car behind (change of job) next week. I will only be driving 3 miles to work and a few journeys a week to go and see local clients so therefore was ideally looking for a petrol motor and it has to be an estate as we...

Well at least I'm not alone. I was going to book the car in for a thorough check but starting to think this is normal and therefore I think I'm going to leave it. Its a car that will do me for 1-2 years so ill maybe leave it at that. Did buy a set of fn2 alloys with Bridgestone tyres but also...

Thanks for sorting the link. I thought mine had hydraulic power steering. I'll check in the morning.

Just spotted a thread from the past that describes one of the feelings i've been having when turning and going around roundabouts. http://http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/2547-newbie-one-concern/page-2 Apparently it's the variable servo power steering that causes the steering wheel to...

i'm not completely sure that wandering describes my disappointment with the car. It's the heavyness, the needs to almost ***ist the steering wheel's return to centre and a lack of confidence it provides mid-turn as you appear to loose feedback. Whilst i appreciate the vrs was a completely...

Thanks for your suggestions, i've michelin ps3's before and they were very good!

Dunlops on the front at the minute but the second hand fn2 civic alloys i have bought have bridgestone's. I don't know whether they checked many of the suspension parts today or simply checked whether the 4 wheels alignment was ok. Is it obvious when the control arm bushes need replacing?

So i took the motor to ATS today (as it's near my work) and they had a look at the motor and checked the alignment. It was near perfect so they didn't charge me anything. They also took the car for a drive and as far as they are concerned the car drives as an accord does. I am beginning to...

Been out in it today and upped the front tyres to 38psi which helped but still something doesn't feel right. When turning it's like mid-turn the steering wheel feels disconnected and makes you want to take the corner slowly for risk of the front end sliding. I am also sure it's too heavy at slow...
