Hiya all, It's been a while since I posted here. I think also that this may be my last; Old faithful has reached 148,000 and on Saturday stopped. The first sign anything was amiss was the oil light (never seen that whilst running), panicked and pulled over from 32mph. I wasn't lugging or pulling...

Thanks for this, I'll look into it and report back... From your comments, I imagine that you might be right in thinking that this maybe a step too far (read, expensive!).

Heh heh! What and spoil my own fun? I had the chance to run around some french roads in good weather, someone else's car (alfa romeo MTO), with someone else's fuel and on someone else's time recently, and the only thing I missed was the Accord! I have no complaints about 'me mota', just the odd...

Hiya all, My poor ol' tourer has a hard life. As a result the rear suspension tends to spend a lot of its life, er, lowered. I tow, I carry, I lift share and shunt. Bikes, people, luggage, caravans, trailers, the lot, and the tyres thus pay the price by losing their shoulders really quickly...

Hiya, My '56 plate 2.2cdti tourer gets between 23mpg (I tow...) and I have seen 60 on a trip over 80 or so miles from full, albeit on the clock. Didn't last long. Since reading this, I've started calculating actual mpg and I agree that it seems to average 2-3 mpg higher on the dash than actual...

Hiya, Something to add; My rear brakes were getting hot recently too. When I got next to the dirt (warranty expired!) and fitted new pads, I realised that the clearance between the pads and the caliper guides, both upper and lower had diminished. This meant that the brake pads did not move in...

Hiya all, my '56 CDTi tourer also has appalling reception (I know that my area has good signals, the last car I had even had a 1980's electric pop-up aerial, and reception was not an issue, unless it froze...), and I'm convinced that it's to do with the aerial being in the back window. I wonder...

What's premature for an Accord 2.2CDTi? I've had a Renault Laguna (1.9dCi) in the past, and regular as clockwork the clutch started to slip at 33k; fairplay to Renault though (SJ Cooks, Bristol) they changed it and the flywheel twice under warranty, each time indicating the reason for the...

Hiya, i find that Pirelli are generally soft, sticky-yes, but I prefer the extra 5-6k on the road. And don't get me started on the uni-directional! Just picking up on a point mentioned much earlier on in the thread; I find that on mine (225/45/R17) the tyre pressure has a noticeable effect. We...

Hiya, a bit new to this forum, so apologies for stepping on anybody's toes. I have recently (ie. the last fortnight) had cause to look at binding rear calipers, initially on the nearside, and after being quoted ridiculous prices for replacement (pads and shoes) I got down and dirty. Rear pads...
