Thanks for the belt info, seems simple enough. Funny how I've learnt more about how my car works in the last few days then I have in the last 9 years!! :-D

Cheers fella. Hopefully it won't be too much work and the refurb guy can sort it and turn it around in a day. The it can get back on the road, surprising how you can miss driving a car! Do you have the guide on tensioning the belt, jsut in case?

Well have 30 mins of fiddling, I've attached a new negative cable from the battery to the bottom of the engine and stuck a meter across the battery, unfortunately the £6 fix I was hoping for didn't work. Even under 2K rev's the voltage didn't change and stayed at 12.5v so does point to the...

Thank both, I put the battery on charge on Thursday when it died so will fit the cable today, and break put the meter. Fingers crossed! :D

Alans27 - Thanks for the tip, once I've redone the earthing cable, I'll get some one to check the regulator out!

Well it died! :-( Driving home last night and the car died completely, jsut after I bought a new cable to re-earth the battery. The breakdown guy kindly told me it was the alternator, and that the cable wouldn't make much difference. I am going to fit the cable this weekend though, jsut to see...

MedicalFlyer - Thanks for the info and where to buy a cable. Will look at this at the weekend and see if this resolves the problem. If not, then I need to find a friendly garage in Thatcham that will do a quick spot check on the alternator circuit for free! Thanks again!

Hi I've got a 2.0 Honda Accord SE Petrol, had it for about 9 years and not had any major issues with it, until today! Driving to work the battery light came on, no other warning lights (the mgmt light is on but that's another issue) and the car was fine. Did some searching on these forums and...

Ok, maybe I'm in the wrong profession!! '-)

Thanks fella, will take a look in tomorrow!

Cliffordski, it might be a dumb question but where can I find the valve? :-)

Hi I've had my 6th Gen for about 8 years now, done 51,000 since I've had it and it's just about to trip over 123,000. It's a brilliant car and have had no issues with it except for last years MOT where it needed the entire exhaust replacing. However in the last few days the engine has been...

Interesting! I spy snow!

Awesome looking moon tonight and its' got an amazing halo!

So Stuart Pearce has left his position at Forest. So that'll be another manager, which means a total of 9 managers since 2009. Yes, it's been tough going but you can't build a team and expect to perform in 7 mths, it takes years. Wonder how long the next manager will last!

Currently not loving Microsoft. A random patch that installed on Saturday as stuffed my media centre (Kodi), so have had to use an earlier restore point and reset everything up again!
