    Winter driving

    My 8th Gen ES GT has 225/50 r17's and I am looking into how much it would cost for a set of winter tyres and changing them twice a year over to my summer or all season tyres. A friend of mine who owns a Mondeo got some winter tyres and swears by them, he lives in Ireland and rarely gets snow...

    How much oil in a 2.2 Accord iDTEC engine?

    I am going to do an minor service/oil and filter change myself and wanted to know how much oil to get. I had a look through the forums but my searches were futile :( I was planning on getting Castrol Edge FST 0w30 c2/c3 oil and its pretty expensive stuff but hopefully will keep the dpf gremlins...

    Spare key

    Wow, thats an eye watering price for a key. The battery was dead in my spare and when I replaced it the fob was no longer working with the car (little light was turning on with button presses but was not locking or unlocking). My local honda garage said they will charge by the hour to get it...

    Front door speakers

    They use a non standard connector and the speaker size is different to standard as well and requires a adapter kit. I read somewhere that the speakers are 2 ohm as well. A few people say that the speakers are panasonic and build quality is utter crap.... so much for premium quality. I've seen...

    Space Saver size

    I managed to get an original Honda 17 inch spacesaver from a breakers yard in Kent. It just about fits, maybe a tiny bit too big but I have a boot protector in and dont notice it. It came out of a crashed 2010 iDtec accord. Cost me 80 quid but it had never been used and Honda are looking for...

    Anyone fitted a dashcam in a 8th Gen Accord?

    I was looking at using a USB powered dash cam (5V), the eprance 0801 in particular. Very good day time and pretty good night time as well, small size and a handy little mount as well. I was thinking that there is likely to be power up behind the map reading lights that is disconnected when the...

    Anyone fitted a dashcam in a 8th Gen Accord?

    Thanks for the replies. I was thinking that that socket in the storage under my left elbow or the one beside the ashtray would be my sources of power unless I started taking apart my dash. I wonder if there is power behind the lights/sunglasses holder that turns off when the keys are removed...

    Anyone fitted a dashcam in a 8th Gen Accord?

    My brother had his cars front bumper damaged and headlight broken by an idiot reversing into him (and then claiming that he hit her, but he had 2 other witnesses sitting in their cars who saw her too). I know its rare but I do like the idea of having one if only to post on youtube some of the...

    Reprogramming keys

    Hi all, I spotted the information below in the 6th Gen section about reprogramming keys. I have recently bought a 8th gen that has both keys but one of them had a flat battery and after replacing it, the buttons will not unlock the car. I just wanted to check to see if anyone has used this...

    Couple of questions

    Hi all, Does anyone know if this is the process to program 8th gen key fobs? I got both keys when I bought my 59 ES GT last week but the battery was dead in one key fob, the other key fob is working fine. I just replaced the battery in it (little red light flashes on button presses) but pushing...
