Hi All, As I said in my caliper colour thread, I've now decided to keep my Accord, so I'll be looking to spend a bit of time and effort tarting her up, but I'm stuck on where to start... she's had over 18 months of abuse and deserves some of my attention, and I promise to stop cheating on her...

Hi All, After long deliberation (I've been tempted to ditch the Accord and buy a Volvo lately...), I've decided to keep the car medium to long term and make some improvements. First on my list are new brakes. Along with pads and discs, it'll be getting new calipers all round. I will be...

Afternoon Gents, Just had an MOT fail on my SE Exec "Nearside front upper suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush". Expensive job? Cheers in advance Craig

Hi All, Had this problem a couple of times, and as the winter is drawing in, it'll only get worse. My Accord won't wet weather start if it's left. Unused for more than a few hours. Example, Thursday I left it for more or less exactly 24 hours, and during that time it rained. Took me 20 minutes...

Just got around to adjusting the handbrake on my SE Exec (thanks for the how to Andy!) and noticed an extra switch blank on the centre console, infront of the one for the heated front seats (I've actually swapped 'em over, it seems silly to have them on the rearmost switch hole). Is this blank...

Hi All, Just had a hellish evening changing a wheel... Driving home from a friends house, turn a corner and all over the road are scaffolding clamps, presumably a shed load. Front wheels miss them, but one of the rear wheels rolls over one. Cue punctured tyre. I pulled over as soon as it was...

Hi All, I currently have a 2000 SE Executive. Had her around a year, but have paced 25,000 miles in that time, and she was only a £400 car to begin with. She's on 136,000 miles. I'm keeping it n the short term, as there's nothing wrong with it. The bodywork is a bit tatty and it's a city car...

Hi chaps, The old girl is having a bad couple of weeks... Few niggling issues but this one is by far the most annoying/dangerous. I have the dreaded ignition switch fail. The car has done it a few times before but I've just left it, now I can't drive it more than 200 yards without it cutting...

Hi All, Got home from work last night (in a bit of light snow) and parked the car away from my usual parking spot, in a car park nearby. Went to start her this morning for work and she just turns but won't fire, with a clicking sound. No idea where to start with this, I would imagine either...

Last night was somewhat embarassing, onthe way to a night out, the exhaust on my Accord decided to fail at the centre silencer, causing it to drag along the road below the car, making sure everyone in the area heard it. Luckily, I wasn't far from where I live and I managed to get it home, now I...

On Saturday night I had a few problems hot starting, the car was getting a bit of round the doors hammer and after switching it off, putting fuel in, and driving off again, the car cut out at a roundabout and refused to start. When I did get it going, I got about 200 yards before it died again...

Having this conversation in the office... We're split on it as each has it's own merits... Saloon for style, security etc. Hatchback for practicality.

After some fool on a motorbike on Saturday decided to filter past a little bit too close, I am now in need of a replacement mirror glass for my car. I'm not satisfied by the ones that stick on over the smashed mirror, I'd like an OE piece of mirror glass. Where can I find one? Ebay isn't...

Hi All, Having recently bought a 2000 reg Accord SE Exec, I was wondering how difficult it would be to get a spare key for it? I've got the original key and 3-button remote, but no spare. My main concern is locking the keys inside the car, I've already nearly locked them in the boot twice...
