Hi guys, don't want to hijack the thread but rather than start a new thread wanted to ask do the 8th gen petrols suffer with driveshaft issues?

Its a nice motor you got there, considering age and everything I would say about 9 grand

Hi mate, what's your mileage? Sounds like the clutch is on the way out.....

I feel for you mate, had the same happen to me a couple of times. Currently though on my 7th gen the mirrors fold fully inwards and outwards so while my mirror has been knocked so far hasn't broken. Hope you get it fixed easy enough.

So a slight improvement by Honda then. I suppose you could get the windows tinted to reduce some sunlight. My mate has a lexus which comes with heated and cooled leather seats but I rather remain with Honda.

Hope you 8th gen guys can shed some light, I am pondering on upgrading to an 8th gen accord from the 7th and wanted to enquire if the black leather seats in the 8th gen in the summer get red hot like they do in the 7th gen accord?

I didn't know vtec was male, makes sense I suppose lol

The gearbox oil needs changing at the 75k interval. Potentially it hasn't been done. Check the paperwork.

Hi mate, the accord does have poor sound insulation compared to other executive cars, there are a few threads on improving sound insulation, also generally winter tyres are noiser than summer tyres. Have a look at the sound rating for The yokos. Can't help with shifter.

Chain mate. Make sure it's had regular oil changes 6000 miles is recommended, fully synthetic oil. Male sure the Vsa turns on and off via the switch, can be an expensive fix. Mine is on 156k still original serpentine belt and water pump. Need to get it done really lol. 2nd drive shafts, drive...

Hi Adam I normally average 350 miles to a tank on the motorway, around town I can manage about 280. Your tyre pressures and the fuel economy rating of your tyres also play a part.

Seems right that. I can't get better than 35mpg.

Try ringing HH, and mention the forum, they were selling full exhaust systems for about 300-400 pounds.

That's true, also seen castrol edge 5w40 for £30 at Asda. I prefer fuchs ***an gt1 personally. I think opie have it on offer.

Hi mate, hope you are enjoying the car besides these issues you are having. 1st point no automatic way of locking doors have to press the switch on the drivers door locks all doors. 2nd not too sure about the tailgate issue I think your key should open it as I have a saloon and the key pops my...

Looks awesome.

It came with the car when I bought it, have had it since really. It has no buttons just empty so I am thinking of getting it fully functional.

Hi Guys resurrecting a thread here in need of a spare key, got the blade cut, need the buttons programming, will this method work if I was to buy the bits off eBay to programme a new key to my car? It's a 7th gen.

Nice.

I believe the facelift has, but not perfacelift. Facelift is 06 onward.
