Thanks for the comment Fahad, but I'm in south wales and that's a bit far to come to you. Don't know if there are any reliable solvers of DPF issues in our area !!!! Cheers, Geoff

I'm not up for drag racing off traffic lights. Lol. As long as it will tootle around town and cruise comfortably at about the speed limit on duals and motorways, that will suit me. Got my eye on a es gt. 108k. Hopefully be alright.

Cheers Brian. Looks like the 2.0 shouldn't bee too bad. Geoff

Hi all, have recently sold my BMW and am looking for either a late 7th or an early 8th Gen Accord. I had a CTDI Accord which was great other than a battery drain that couldn't be traced - no DPF to worry about but I do like the look of the 8th Gen. Although my mileage isn't very high I like the...

Hi again, having had a 6 month trip to the dark side - 320i BMW. Lovely to drive but doesn't feel anything like as well built and solid as the Accord. So I'm looking again for an Accord. Did think of DTEC but DPF would cause me problems. Going to keep an eye open for a late CDTI - hopefully a...

Hi all, Heve recently sold my pre-facelift Accord EX Ctdi saloon. Looking for a car to replace it and there seem to be problems with most makes. BMW diesel swirl flaps, Audi A4 water ingress problems and excessive oil consumption on fsi engines, Lexus DPF problems. The list goes on. I would like...

Hi again Brian. Glad to see you were able to sort out that problem. Haven't been about for a while due to a house move but easy afternoon today so I thought I'd check the drain on the car. Its still the same. A few weeks ago the low battery volts issue affected the immobiliser. Devil of a job to...

Hi Brian, sorry to hear your problem is persisting. You could be right about the draw increasing when the voltage drops below a certain level. I disconnected my alternator at one time whilst testing but that didn't make any difference on mine. Looks like you'll have to leave the meter connected...

Hi all, just back from hols and the battery disconnect device worked a treat. Parked the car myself, unscrewed the connector. Back after 2 weeks, screwed the contactor back in, and the car started as though it had just been left. Satnav straight on and all systems fine. Only nightmare was the...

Think I'm going to have to put up with the battery disconnected route for now. If I could prove the drain goes away with the imoes unplugged, I'd consider getting it changed at honda. It isn't a ridiculously expensive bit but it would need programming so I guess that may be a few bob in labour...

Found the little fella. As you said tucked away above and behind the round bar. Managed to get a hand on it, but no way to do anything without stripping a lot out. Even took the end cover off the dash but only a steel plate behind that. Could touch the bolt on the bracket but no way to get a...

Sorry for absence guys, been a hectic Bank hol weekend. There aren't auto lights, and the dips are H1 bulbs - I changed them some time ago. The HID's were an option on the diesel EX. The fog fuses have been removed and made no difference. If I get chance later I'll have another look for the...

No it doesn't have auto levelling. Will have a look tomorrow to see if I can find it.

It could be. The article I read goes on about the key having a "rolling code" and the immobiliser in the ignition lock and the immoes must agree before power is applied to the ecu. I'll have another look behind the glovebox when I get chance. Maybe the bracket is obscuring it. I do remember...

No sign of the immoes under the drivers side. Only thing I found was a "cleaner unit". The wife wants to know if that will automatically vac the inside of the car. LOL The battery disconnector arrived this morning, neat little device. Only problem - the lug is slightly under diameter so I...

Same guy who designed the current f1 engine. Lol Had a quick look for the imoes unit. No sign of this mythical box behind the glovebox. I wonder if that description is for a lhd car and it's actually under the drivers dash on ours ? I'll see how I feel over the weekend and if I have time I'll...

Is it just me, or has the car been built in such a way that it has to go to honda for everything ? Noticed a number plate bulb out, so had a look in the manual and it says press in clip on one side and pull out. That's fine but the hole in the trim over the lights is to small for the light unit...

Been having a look at the manual, and the immoes is a small relay type box behind the glovebox. As I understand, it links with the immobiliser. If it's changed, the car and keys need reprogramming. So I don't think I'll bother with that one. Also came across a bulletin saying if the keys are...
