Thanks a lot lads ....this thread is defo very useful and will remain for those who will ever consider buying MK8. I thought I will update this thread as it may help others in future. Its nearly 10-11 months down the line and I have stayed with MK7. Comment from bangwhonext above puts me off...

Many thanks. I bet you are enjoying auto. Auto is preference but they come with premium. Confusion is that I have 2015 maps in MK7 and TMC works well with auto re-routing. Now most forum members say that MK8 navigation has limited map updates so that makes me think that MK7 maps might be...

Matt Many thanks for your input. I must say that you are getting excellent mpg.

Hi All I have MK7 XE diesel saloon which is equipped with reverse camera and honda ipod kit. It gives me regular 52-54 mpg as per OBC however when I calculate brim to brim, it is 44-46 mpg. I am very happy with the car. Now my dilemma is that every time I see MK8 accord, I feel :wub...

I have a ipod/ iphone / android connector to head unit. I paid £45 and you can have it for £25 shipped if you wish.

I am doing approx 160 miles / day and half of it is enjoying heavy traffic on M25. I have gone for accord due to its bullet proof engine and car was 'value for money' as it comes well equipped. My last few cars were lowered on eibach springs and despite of hard suspension, I never had any...

Guys Happy new year :) Just wondering if somebody has moved from accord to volvo, merc or bmw 3 series? If yes, which one? Your findings? I had bmw 3 series 2008. I had to put a decent deposit on a house and hence had to sell it. Sensible car was accord and I bought one. Still...

I have posted my car up for sale. It is a 2006 diesel and Engine is mint. Feel free to check 'classified section'.

I have 06 2.2 Ex ictdi which touched 100K last week. I think suspension is on its way as when I go over speed bump, I can hear squeaky noise perhaps coming from the shocks. Few questions; 1- What are the signs of worn suspension? 2- Has anybody changed the suspension at / around 100K? 3- Is it...

Not sure if its related but I have a whine which is always there b.w 2K and above. IMO it is turbo whine and I hear it every time when I accelerate. Do you get it during acceleration?

Congrats on getting it remapped. Do you mind me asking what sort of miles have you got on your car? Mine just hit 96K and not sure if it is worth of going for it? And the fact that my DMF is oem, will remap kill DMF? Early days but any changes to mpg figures?

Many thanks for your useful comment. Learnt that we can get the sound insulation kit. Funny thing is that I have already used sound deadening stuff on the front two doors to reduce the noise and to increase the bass from 'honda premium sound system'. My problem is that I have moved from German...

Many thanks lads for your responses. So to sum up, MK7 is more reliable? (as no DPF and hardly any turbo issues) However MK8 is more comfortable? I must say that I do love the toys. I have updated the maps to 2015, installed reverse camera on MK7 and installed ipod kit. So on MK8, I will...

Lads I bought 7th generation 2.2 CDTi 2 months ago. Car had 92K miles with full honda service history. It is Ex trim level so well equipped. Car is excellent and reliable (done 3K already). I have few complaints though 1- Road noise is bad on when you are driving 60-70 MPH.. 2- Despite...

Thanks and will give them a shout.

If you are going to get it done then do it properly. Take the headlights off and dismantle the headlight complete. Then fit the DRL bar similar to DRL in new civic. I have this on my agenda but hardly get time for the car.

Did this ever happen? I bought their kit and returning it on Monday. Issues after issues. Firstly, the power cable which was sent with the module has wiring missing / installed wrong. My messages were ignored till I opened paypal case and then I was asked to return the unit. I brought into their...

Looking forward to see the results. I have oem nav and wants to integrate something. Bought Xcar link media card which turned out to be crap and returning it. There are companies which make such media cards... http://www.navtool.com/hondaaccord2003-2007.aspx But getting them delivered in UK...

Subscrived. liked your methodlogical approach to rule out things one by one.... Do you mind me asking where did you get the sport suspension from? Prices seems to be in north of £600?

What is correct size of rubber on them?
