I've been out of the country for nearly 3 months and my 1.8 manual has been sitting on the drive, with an occasional turnover from the wife. Came back on Friday, tried her and she started up, no problem (the car, not the wife). Slightly sluggish to crank, so took her out for some spirited...

Hello all, I'm trying to remove the REAR door card and it's got a winder handle (poor me - no electric windows in the back!) The handle doesn't have a screw securing it on or anything, so I'm guessing it sits on a spindle and I can just lever it off. Ive tried gently to no avail, but I don't...

So I've a new job which means working away for 10 weeks at a time and my beloved Accord can't come. What do you guys recommend doing with her to keep her in good condition? The wife won't drive it as it's 'too big' for her. So what do I do? I'm thinking tyres, battery, brakes initially. She'll...

Driving in on a cold crisp morning, I've noticed my 2000 1.8 drives and pulls a lot smoother at startup compared to a warmer morning, when I often experience some hesitancy and kangarooing. Overall, she's running much better than when first acquired, with regular blasts and daily motorway runs...

Right, I've got her up on stands (again!) to treat a couple of isolated lenghts of rusty brake pipes. Not done it before. Rubbed them down with P150, then very fine crocus paper, then some Kurust. After its dry, is there anything to stop me coating the lengths with underseal? Can the MOT guys...

My paintwork's showing its age, dull and lifeless. Furthermore, it's got patches of odd circular scratches all round, as if the previous owner thought sandpaper was the thing to use... I've polished it with Autoglym a few times and it looks lovely in the rain (the way the water beads - oooohhh!)...

Hi all Being proactive and planning ahead, my timing belt will need doing in about a year's time, maybe longer. Anyone had theirs done recently, if so how much, ballpark. I've seen the kits on eBay, Continental for £70 to £80. Saw a 'how-to' on YouTube and its not for the faint- hearted ie me...

Has anybody got a 'how to' for this, or is it really very, very simple and suitable for 4 years and up?

Hi all I've had my 6th gen Accord for 7 months - it's the 1.8S with 112k on the clock. It came with full service history (but not a very good one, it transpires). I'll get in it first thing in the morning and it's fine - for about 400 yards. Then, when changing up (most noticeably 1st, 2nd and...
