    Intermittent VSA Issue

    Thanks guys, couldn't get out to a Honda garage today but I'll try tomorrow. Had been fine when driving uber slow (boring family passengers) but today driving at around 50mph on gentle bends it occasionally kicked in at the start of the journey but not again, as before. It was also when turning...

    Intermittent VSA Issue

    I am aware of the potential VSA issues on these cars so I have been keeping an eye on things. Just recently I've heard a bit of a loud motor noise from the dash and maybe a flicker of VSA light. Then this evening when taking a left without touching the brakes or accelerator it activated and...

    DIY - Replace bad/cracked manifold on 2.2 i-ctdi Accord 2007

    Driving too quickly? Drive gently for the last 5-10 minutes of your trip and let the car cool down, it could just be from parts getting very hot and clicking as they cool and the metal contracts. However if it happens on gentle short trips then it may be something else.

    DIY 7th Gen Pre-Facelift Diesel Fuel Filter Change

    Thanks for the advice in the guide and within the thread, just thought I'd add to it as I successfully replaced the fuel filter at the weekend. My only comment would be that the throttle body housing is probably the most vital part to move other than the primer pump bracket, so you can get to...

    Bump on first day

Partly my fault for leaving it sticking out of the back of a parking bay - I did briefly entertain the small possibility of someone driving across a lawn out of their own bay and hitting it but didn't go back and move...

    16" vs 17" Alloys - Handling

    Hardly an extreme mod but since the Accord has come with non-branded tyres with moderate wear I want to replace them but instead may just fit new alloys. However, coming from an MG ZR on 17s I'm used to discomfort and my accord on feels a little wallowy in comparisson. So are there any...

    Cutting out under acceleration

    Funnily enough it was just serviced before I got it, I imagine the same thing happened. I will check under the bonnet in the light and get a Bosch one ordered if I can't see it - many thanks. Thanks, had wondered if it was that after reading your servicing guide. (Will also come and see you...

    Cutting out under acceleration

    I've got my first Honda, a 2004 2.2 CTDi Sport. Its done 114000 miles but has been well maintained and serviced with 1 owner. It drives very nicely with sharp handling for the size, pulls strongly and still gives good mpg. However there are a few issues I want to sort asap. The main one is...
