    Accord being discontinued in the UK?

    Hi Guys, Something on Honda Karma about UK Honda dealers being told the Accord is being discontinued? Does anyone know any more? Not a huge surprise I guess, they want to concentrate on Swindon built models and SUVs.

    Rear Discs - how long should they last?

    My 8th gen passed its MoT with 1 advisory about the rear brake pads being low, couple of thousand miles left they reckon, Kwik fit did the MoT. Looking at it, you can see the pads are low probably about 3-4mm approx and the backing is starting to catch on the inner lip on the disc, its leaving...

    Samsung mobiles with the 8th gen Audio system

    Hi guys, As the ***le says, Samsung mobiles don't connect to the USB socket in the 8th gen. Later Android versions don't treat the memory on the phone as a Mass Storage Device (like a USB stick), so you cant access the music saved on the phone. Apparently they use MTP media transfer protocol...

    Oil for Petrol engines - 0w/20?

    Hi All, Going to be changing the oil next month on my 2008 2.0 iVtec petrol. Seen that Honda recommend 0w/20 full synth for best fuel consumption, however I'm a bit concerned this might not be best for my 6 year old 73000 mile engine? Might cause it to start using oil. It seems to have been...
