The accord went in on Tuesday. The dealer stripped the clutch from the car, examined it, took photos, measurements and submitted a claim on my Honda extended guarantee. I got a call on Wednesday to say it was repaired but the warranty company had not yet said if it would be covered. So I...

Mine does it. Only in warm weather. A quiet clonk when pulling away or stopping. Does it when stopping in neutral so nothing to do with clutch or drivetrain. The article about US accords below is interesting...

My accord has over the last few months suffered from an occasional rough gear change into 3rd or 4th. I have changed the gear oil and no improvement. This morning I drove the car and every time I stopped it was very difficult to engage 1st gear. Anyway, as I suspected a Honda technician...

The clutch is original and the car has just covered 50000 miles. It hasn't been driven hard. I've just looked at the workshop manual cd and the way the reverse lockout solenoid works appears that it cannot cause it to get stuck in reverse gear. The troubleshooting section only lists 2...

My 2010 2 litre petrol accord has started to be difficult to get out of reverse occasionally. This is frustrating as it only does it now and again so I can't show the dealer it happening. I have a Honda extended guarantee, but I can' think they will take me seriously if I can' t demonstrate...

I had the same issue with my old 7th Gen. Smell drove me mad. Tried loads of products and in the end the one that got rid of the smell was one called Airco Breeze. I also replaced the aerosol button with one from another aerosol I had tried which had a long tube attached to it. I found the...

I've had 2 6th gen cars, a 7th gen and now an 8th gen, all petrol. One of my 6th gens (25K, 4 years old) was leaking oil out of the end of the engine where the flywheel is, and had clutch judder. The other 6th gen had an ABS fault before it was 4 years old, which cost about £300 for a new...

I bought my 8th gen nearly a year and a half ago. At first I found the lumbar too intrusive, so I put it to zero. Now I find it ok for about an hour, but on long trips I find it much less comfortable than my 7th Gen was.

Has anybody noticed a slight whine (fairly high pitched) when turning the steering wheel quickly ? I know the accord has EPS, but my 7th Gen had EPS and didn't make this noise.

The problem selecting reverse, and the crunching into 3rd sounds like a possible failure of the clutch to fully disengage. It might be that the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th synchros are just stronger than the 3rd gear one, and so the problem is showing up there first. I would change the gearbox oil...

Took the tape off yesterday and it seems to be a really good job!

Car was there from 9am to 3.30pm, so 6.5 hours. Got drenched by rain on the way home though, so hope all is ok!

Just had my 2010 accord serviced today. When I picked it up the windscreen trims were covered in masking tape. The dealer informed me that they had done a recall on the trims and that I should leave the tape on until the same time tomorrow. Has anybody else's car come back with tape and...

I have no issue with removing the speakers, the workshop manual shows that you just lever up the grills carefully. The problem is that when you have removed the grill, the speaker is secured with one screw, the other side of the speaker clips into place. You can't buy aftermarket speakers with...

Has anybody worked out a way of upgrading the rear speakers in the 8th gen? They seem to have been designed in such a way that replacing them is utterly impossible. I looked at the honda upgrade speakers but honda's web site says that these are for the front doors, not the rear parcel shelf...

I bought a 10 plate VTEC ES 2 litre petrol 8th gen in January with 9000 miles on the clock. The car has been perfect, but has still only covered 16000 miles. So my questions is whether I should extend my honda warranty in January or not? Normally this has been a no brainer fpor me with...

Anybody know if the 2 litre petrol accord has the ability to advance it's ignition timing sufficiently to get the full benefit out of high octane fuel?

I've just had a live chat with a guy on the Honda UK web site. I asked him if i could just ignore the service reminder system and get the car serviced according to the 12500 miles/12 month schedule without invalidating my Honda approved used car warranty. He confirmed that this would not...

Ah but i'm not wanting to have it serviced until it's covered 12.5k, the service indicator will have gone very negative by then! Can I just ignore the service indicator and follow the 12.5k/12 month schedule without invalidating my warranty?
