    Looking for my old car - T824UAK

    Hi guys, not posted for a while and hoping you guys could help :) Registration is T824UAK and its a silver 6th Gen Executive Accord. I was thinking about it this afternoon and looked at the MOT online site and it was mot'd today, how coincidental! Sold the old girl last August to a gent in...

    Is it worth buying a 6th Gen

    Don't think it'll be that hard, there's still plenty about. My bulk head looks new, but did have slight corrosion picked up on one of the front chassis legs on its last mot - but only slight as I have a very picky tester. But has since been treated and under sealed.

    Is it worth buying a 6th Gen

    I'm currently selling my 2.0 executive auto, well struggling since no one seems interested :( I think there will be some man tears when it finally does go

    My wife's 6th Gen 2.0 Exec sluggish

    Have you changed the ignition leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, air filter, etc? They do need working a little bit if you're used to a bigger engine

    Bolts to Rear anti roll bar bushes

    Damn, that's a shame. I did use a 6 sided socket, but the edges of the bolt just perished :(

    Weird power steering leak

    On the drivers side of my steering rack there is a valve shaped thing (currently having a thick moment as I can't remember the name). Mine isn't leaking but was covered in liquid/muck, as I cleaned it up. Maybe mine was an old leak that was fixed but not cleaned up, but Could be a seal in there...

    Low idle, sometimes?

    Problem solved. Checked spark plugs and noticed one was covered in carbon, others were in good nick. So looked into the ignition lead for that one and it was corroded. Soaked the end in dw40 for an hour and refitted, not acted up since. Job jobbed. Worryingly those leads are only 7k miles old...

    Bolts to Rear anti roll bar bushes

    Hi guys, Tried searching but can't find a definite answer and I honestly can't tell visually. The bolts to the bracket for the rear anti roll bar, is there a nut where it goes through the chassis or is it a threaded type hole? I can't tell due to the amount of muck. I've managed to round the...

    Low idle, sometimes?

    Tried and failed, it still does it Interestingly it doesn't do it when using the aircon, infact it uses far less fuel too

    Low idle, sometimes?

    Hi guys, Strange problem with my idle, believe it may be an electrical issue but it seems to be getting worse? The annoying thing is that it's random - the worse kind of fault. It all started when I disconected the battery months ago for half an hour when I was playing about. The problem is...

    6th Gen 2.0 SE Executive or 2.3 Type-V

    Had a look around a type v being semi interested a while back. It felt very posh inside, leather is of better quality, it was slightly more quiet and pulled up hills better with more low down poke. At the top end my 2.0 felt more eager but needs to be worked more lower down. The 2.3 is the...

    Think my car is invisible

    Any other Accord driver finding themselves always being cut up? I never get tailgated or have anything aggressive towards me but it's almost like people see through me and either pull out ahead of me or just cut me up like the car is invisible. It happens at least once a day in the Honda, but...

    T-Zone tax, London

    I have to drive to London every so often due to relatives living down there and sometimes work and feel I'm being forced off the road with my old car. My old Honda had its mot last month and gave zero emissions, their machine couldn't pick anything up. It was also eligible to be part of the...

    How to wash oil off car?

    Don't think that's possible with glass, even so I don't have the balls to do that, lol Anyways, think I've sorted it. Repeated the same process of using different products, pressure washer, etc, came off the side windows and sunroof fine, but not the windscreen or rear window, changed the...

    How to wash oil off car?

    I'm not sure it's just oil, it's a combination of 200,000 miles worth of crap from the inside of his engine, his car is a state. Anyways, boss isn't in today so tried again. This time tried wd40, degreaser, washing up liquid, coke and left each one about 5 minutes to settle and attacked it with...
