Hi peeps, My '05 2.0 litre petrol Accord Tourer has been playing up a bit with the climate control. It will blow refrigerated air and make things nice and cool, then it'll stop blowing cold air after about 10 minutes and circulate warm air instead which is annoying and makes all occupants hot...

Having got totally fed up with my keyfobs falling to bits with insulating tape keeping them together, I felt there must be another way of renewing your key without giving 200 quid to your local Honda dealer. There is. Read on: I made my first one a few months back and it's still very solid, so...

Because of my ongoing saga in trying to replace the nearside rear seatbelt in my Accord Tourer, I will not have the replacement belt in place by Monday when the car has an MOT retest. If I remove the nearside rear seat in its entirety, seatback (with inbuilt seat belt), seat base and seatbelt...

Hi y'all My '05 2.0 accord aero/avant/tourerdeck/estate thingie failed it's mot today on a couple of things: Front suspension bushes - they're on order and will be fitted by the garage. Rear n/s seatbelt has a massive chunk taken out of it (gawd only knows how, maybe got it caught in the...

Hello boys & girls I'm just servicing my '05 2.0 tourer i-vtec. I've seen the thread on "Which oil" but it's talking about diesel cars. I like the sound of the Lubetech oil. Which oil should I be putting into my 2.0 petrol lump? Semi-synthetic or fully synthetic? which viscosity? also -...

I got two keys with my '05 Accord 2.0 Tourer poverty spec wot I bought last January. Both have got copious amounts of black tape holding them together. I have taken the tape off the main key, and the key blade is looser than a very loose thing. I can see some key fob blanks advertised on...

I remember seeing a post some time ago which spoke about a fault where the driver's door window wouldn't go up - I had the same thing, when the window is right down, you try and get it up (the window I mean :rolleyes: ) and the window rises about 1cm then falls down - I'm guessing the child...

My '05 petrol 2.0 tourer has just come back from a faultless 6000 mile hike round Europe. Now done 76,000 miles. Didn't use a drop of oil on the whole trip, though MPG went down to low 20s when the climate control was asked to keep the cabin at 21 degrees when it was 42 degrees outside in Italy...

when I bought my '05 tourer in January, it would occasionally make noises coming fro the back. This seemed speed dependant, but it would usually go away after a mile or so. One way to make it go away was to give the brakes a quick dab. Ah - I thought - must be the brakes. So, after inspecting...

Well I had a moan a few months back about not-very-good MPG figures - Started at about 27, Pumped tyres to correct setting - went up to 29 Anyway, tried turning the aircon off - it's now up to 33 which is quite a difference from where we started, though as someone who is always hot, I'll...

Having managed to buy a set of the OE 15" alloy wheels for the Accord, I need to get some tyres fitted. The size is 195/65R15 91V. What tyres will give me the best mileage/mpg d'ya reckon? Do these low rolling resistance tyres actually save you petrol?

Hi again The standard 15" alloys on the 2.0 Accord SE have got tyre sizes 195x65 R15 on them I've found a website which works out all sorts of measurements for you and according to that, the wheel rim width can be anything from 5.5 to 7.0 inches. Now - I've seen some wheels which are...

Whaddyareckon then peeps? If I bought a set of Accord leather seats, would they fit straight in to my '05 tourer in place of the standard pleblon tattytex "sports" seats? Or would this cause big problems cos the leather seats are electric whereas mine are manually adjusted or something...

First tankful despatched at a very unimpressive 27mpg. 2.0 litre i v-tec manual shift should do more than this. We live in a rural area and I have been driving it fairly quickly at times and enjoying the upper reaches of the rev band, but I'm not mechanically unsympathetic, I don't rev a cold...

Another question - I did look round for an answer but couldn't find one. My '05 Accord Tourer SE 2.0 does not have cruise control, but I'm wondering whether the wiring is there, so all i have to do is swap the steering wheel for one WITH the cruise control buttons and I've got myself this...

My '05 2.0 Accord Tourer has 16" wheels on it with 225/50/R16 tyres on it. I thought standard fit for this models was the 15" wheels with 195/65/R15 tyres. Now given that the 15" tyres are about half the price of the 16" tyres, I'd quite like to swap to the 15" jobbies. Is there are "bits for...

Hello boys and girls, Newbie here from Wiltshire - just traded my '03 Volvo V70 D5 (148k) for an '05 Accord Tourer SE 2.0 V-tec (66k) Although I normally prefer diesels, I was looking into buying either a Honda Accord, Mondeo, Vectra, Mazda 6, Toyota Avensis or Skoda Octavia. The stories I...
