After nearly four years ownership, today I said goodbye to the Accord, part exchanging it against a Toyota Prius T-Spirit for my wife. We're swapping cars in our household; my commuting duties will be now be with my wife's 10 year-old, 67k A3 Sportback that we've had since new, and with the...

I've made multiple searches on TA but no luck with this! My Accord diesel is repeatedly displaying the yellow "Low Brake Fluid" warning in the instrument cluster. To clear up the blindingly obvious issue at hand, the brake fluid level, as checked by the bulkhead in the engine bay, is absolutely...

My CTDI is just shy of 130k and earlier this week, I experienced the unmistakable clutch slip, after accelerating quickly, changing gear and seeing the revs rise and settle. It's only happened twice but fearful of damaging the DMF I've started shopping around. And it's not good news. Not good...

While off work this week, I ordered some LED numberplate lights and sidelights from UltraLeds and fitted them today. Pleased with the results, although as others have noted here, the sidelights are perhaps a bit too blue for my liking. It does match the paintwork though! :) The existing...

This week I reached 124k in my Accord diesel, which although just 20 months of ownership does represent 30k of motoring in it. Thought I'd post up some comments as I know I was looking for similar content when ready to buy the car. It's been a great experience to date. I have an 82-mile daily...

At some point in the last couple of months, my sat nav stopped showing the TMC warning triangles on the map (traffic queues, vehicle recovery, road closed etc). The TMC icon is always green during my commute around the M25 and M40, and if I press INFO, the information is listed with no problems...

My Accord has just spent two days at Maidenhead Honda. It has its MoT next month, and I knew my rear discs and pads had seen better days. The discs were particularly bad, probably still original at 121k, but corroded unevenly so only about a third of the discs had any contact with the pads. And...

A surprise problem last week, one that I can't remember managing since my student days - the car failing to start thanks to the damp weather. Walked out to my i-CTDi last week as normal, jumped in, key into the ignition, switched on as normal, go to start and then nothing. It was just dead...

Had a quick search but couldn't find anything to solve an odd problem. My 06 EX is paired with my work BlackBerry and it works well. However, in the last month or so, after switching the ignition on I get a single beep from the HFT about 20 seconds after turning the key. Nothing appears on the...

Filled up this morning after running the tank to its last couple of litres and hit exactly 716 miles as I pulled up. Surely a world record?! :rolleyes: My daily commute is well-suited to return good fuel economy - it's 40 miles each way from Herts around the M25 and M40 to Bucks, through...

Completed installation of my XCarlink device today. After kindly receiving a discount code here at TA, which effectively made the postage free, the unit arrived promptly and I planned to install over the weekend to take my time. In the end, I had it done in just a couple of hours, using this...

The wipers were pretty shot on my 2006/56 car when I got it three months ago - the passenger one just spread water evenly on the screen - so I did exactly what every other lazy motorist does and wandered into Halfords to pick up a new set. I paid around £23, and because I was distracted by my...

After several weeks of reading the guides here, and opinions of other owners around servicing, I decided to take the plunge and switch my Accord to the self-service route. A major service was due on my car and a combination of frankly shocking Honda dealer servicing costs (£427 anyone?) and no...

Spotted this OEM-look boot lip-spoiler for the 4-door. Anyone bought and fitted one? Looks neat and seems to match the OEM version on the facelift Sport model. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170576096769 Have to spend money elsewhere on the car first, but might come back...
