    Winter wheels and TPMS valves

    I want to swap to a set of winter wheels & tyres. I've got a replacement set of Accord wheels with TPMS valves that came off another car. Anyone know how the TPMS valves work with the car ie can I just swap out my old wheels for the new ones and the valves sort themselves out or do I need to...

    Tyre pressure monitoring valves question

    I'm looking to get a set of winter tyres for my 8th gen tourer. I'd like to use a set of 16" alloys that I used on my 7th generation which the manual says should fit.

This weekend being rather nice...

    Accord 7th gen brochure

    I think the 7th gen brochures have disappeared from the forum. There is one for the 2005 tourer here. I've also got ones for the 2005 saloon and 8th gen tourer / saloon but I don't have links for them as I only have them as pdfs. Anyone know how I can upload them on here?

    So my rear numberplate fell off the other Friday, due to the dealer only sticking it on with two bits of sticky tape. Popped into Halfords and the guy wanted £20 for it (although I got the impression he didn't really know what he was talking about). As it was a busy weekend i thought I'd try...

    A stupid question

    Hi all. Just wondering if the 7th gen saloon (prefacelift) has a light in the boot? I can't see one and it's a bit annoying with these dark mornings and nights. Or am i just blind? Cheers!
