On previous cars with leather seats I've used the Autoglym leather products.....cleaner then care. When applying the care liquid just throw loads on, as though you're soaking the seat, then massage in with your hand. Leave it for a while, depending on the condition of the leather, then wipe off...

I think it's quite difficult to give a timescale. I've read that some can last a week or 2, others can last a couple of months! I also think that there's lots of different products out there, each with its own "promises". I've used some before and found some good, some awful. It all really...

I'm about to start a full detail on my Missus' car (white Hyundai i40 62 plate) then I'll follow up with a detail on my car (black Accord 53 plate). So far I've got 1. Simoniz Car Shampoo - being using this a while and does a reasonable job. 2. Carpro Iron X - never used this before but comes...

£280 for 4 wheels getting refurbished is a bit steep, especially if you're walking into the shop with only the rims. £200 is what I paid for my 4 wheels at an alloy wheel specialist. However, I still think you've saved money overall!

I had to replace the FNS fog light on my pre-facelift CDTi last year due to a cracked lense. Honda wanted £155 for the unit alone which was way too steep. It took a while online to source various breakers who I phoned to make sure I got the correct part - make sure to specify that it's the round...

This might be completely unconnected but I had similar issues which have just started again. A few months ago during a cold snap my alarm started going off during the night. Every time I reset the alarm it would go off again 10 minutes or so later. Around about the same time my VSA, ABS and...

I've recently had a similar issue with the ABS, engine management and traction control lights all coming on at the same time. It has no effect on the car and if I turn the ignition off and on again all the lights go out after I reach about 5 mph. They all come back on sporadically but I'm...

I did think about this earlier......any recommendations? Thanks

This morning I got a bit if a surprise when the power from my engine just died on me. My car is a 53 plate 2.2 CDTi Sport with 103k on the clock. The engine was still cold and as I pulled away from a junction the power seemed to disappear. I put it into second gear with the same result, then in...

There's no warning light for it. You may get a vibration from the offending wheel (you might not). When you dip the clutch you may notice the car slowing significantly more than usual, this might be more noticeable when going down hill - the car should be speeding up when coasting but you start...

Way overpriced in my opinion. And you're right, the seat does look shabby. As to the wheels, they're the 17" Penta alloys which are Honda OEM. I've got them on my car and I love em. They are prone to blister and flake however. I've had mine refurbished. Have a look at the car if its close...

£358!!!! Jesus. What a difference in the brakes though! Hopefully a good wash and polish will put the Accord back in my good book cause right now I ain't talking to her! Lol

Well got the bad news today - rear offside caliper needs replacing and the rear nearside won't budge with the wind back tool so it needs replacing too. That's all calipers except the front nearside now replaced in the last 6 months. The car is now beginning to cost. As an aside, got the fuel...

Earlier this year I had to replace the front offside brake caliper due to it binding. I replaced it with a refurbished caliper and all was good. Over the last week I noticed a slight vibration coming from the rear offside....shortly followed by the unmistakable smell of roasting hot brakes. A...

Are you expecting your car to be written off? Are you making a claim for blacking out after hitting your head off the head rest after a 15 mph rear impact?

It won't be anybody with a scanner. The criminals at that level don't just steal aftershave and some tictacs.

When I had probs with my FOS brake the wheel was hot (not warm) from the brake binding. Check the temp of the wheel after a drive in the car. Do not, and I mean DO NOT touch the disc! I stupidly did this and gave myself lovely flat finger tips for a month (i also woke the street up with my...

^^^^ I'll second that. I'm in the exact same position as you. I've had my Accord for 10 years and it's still going strong. I did toy with the idea of a new car but a recent job move has meant I'm doing mostly motorway miles. Why spend money on a new motor to put more miles on it and lose more...

Heavy right foot? If I don't get between 600 and 650 miles from a full tank then something is wrong. The furthest ive had is 712. Never sat down and worked out my MPG but I think its quite reasonable for a 10 year old motor.

Sorry to hear about the troubles you're having. Summarising your post it looks like you've had 1. Brake issues - pads have been replaced (it's not clear but I'm ***uming all pads were replaced) following which the rear offside has worn very quickly (possibly the brake binding?). You've admitted...
