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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi guys, My awesome new neighbour, who's car engine ran away a few weeks ago, it pumped a lot of crap out of its exhaust, smoke everywhere, sunlight disappearing, etc, covered my cars exterior and interior in oil (as my sunroof was fully open). I've managed to get the oil smell out of the car...

Hia guys, Appear to be having slight gearbox issues. There is an occasional grind with a huge thud going into reverse which goes away if I quickly go to neutral and re-engage reverse. Looking at the fluid there are metal shavings, not alot but some quite big - some being about 2 to 3mm in size...

Gents, There is a horrible lean to the drivers side of the car. I've just changed both the front springs as the drivers side snapped. New springs levelled the height nicely but now there is a 10mm difference and 15 t0 20mm with drivers weight (of 16 stone :blush:). The lean was there before...

Thought Honda's were reliable? :lol: What do you guys recommend as a decent budget make for replacement? Also do you guys also recommend replacing both the front springs in pairs? I will be changing it myself so any tips would be appreciated. I've fitted lowering springs to previous cars so...

Hey guys, Having some odd issues with the slush box on my Honda, I've tried searching but cant find much. First problem is when I've driven the car, stick it into neutral and it still creeps foward like it would in drive. I've managed to crash into the garage door a couple of times because of...

Back when I owned an Astra the egr valve could be blanked off with a small plate (provided by Vauxhall) and cheated by connecting a small circuit board in place, which was provided by another vauxhall enthusiast. Some cheap skates just used a blanking plate and left the egr valve connected and...

Hia guys - keep finding silver metal shavings on dipstick. I changed the oil and filter 1k miles ago, it's already very black too. I'm trying to find reasons as to why as I've never had this problem on a car before. The car since new belonged to the crypt keeper, he put 103k sedate miles on it...

Hia guys, Bought a CD changer for the car and the seller failed to mention that there is only 3 disc holders out of the 6 in the cartridge. Does anyone happen to know where to get a set, I imagine they are hard to find. Any help appreciated :)

Hi guys, I have done my research, but totally confused - I'm great with mechanical things, but rubbish with electrics, so please bear with me. I have a 1999 Executive with the standard amp & subwoofer and want to keep them working alongside a new headunit. The new headunit I've purchased -...

Hia guys, I haven't had the car long but I have noticed my Accord is really guzzling fuel - it is doing around 23mpg from mixed driving. I'm still adjusting to driving this car but to be honest I was expecting at least 30mpg. I do roughly the same trips as my old 2.2 Astra and that achieved...
