    Winter or all-season tyres for G7 Tourer?

    I ran 16" with Conti TS850 on mine and was really happy with the grip and wear. I think some central europe winters are more dry road focused than pure snow winters. I have also used a lot of the Nokia range over the years and have been happy with price/performance of them as well.

    2011 Honda CRV 2.2 i-DTEC mystery oil leak

    When adding sealant,I find that the best method for me is after adding a thin coat of sealant, lightly tighten the screws finger tight- no tools. After the sealant cures fully tighten the fasteners, This allows a better thickness of sealant and helps prevents leaks.

    Front wheel bearing

    I remember reading somewhere that Honda had specced a ceramic or some other very low friction bearing to reduce fuel usage. It could be marketing spiel but I would be curious as to what bearing is in the hub,.

    Daytime running lights

    The requirement for DRL from 2011 was only for new to the market vehicles. The 8th gen Accord was already nearly 4 years old so it didn't have to have DRL's fitted from the factory.

    Can you recommend a large, safe, weatherproof "Roof Box" for Honda Accord Estate (8th Gen)?

    Steel bars are strongest but alloy are usually quieter. I used Thule Square bars for years and they gave zero problems. But I recently got some Thule Wingbar Evo and they are a lot quieter. Atera Signo RT look to be the best value of these type but to be honest a roofbox will be noiser than any...

    Battery / Electrical problem that has me stumpted

    When you say you have built the terminals up with copper wire to prevent loose terminals does that mean the battery terminals do not mate with the connectors properly? I have found that improper connections can often lead to poor charging conditions because the connection is not enough to carry...

    Antifreeze

    I agree, the simplest and best option. In fact the price of Honda Antifreeze is on a par or cheaper than spurious stuff at my dealer. You know it will work with your engine as well.

    2009 2.2 I-dtec tourer handbrake

    I think the only real solution is to either refurbish or replace the offending caliper. This is an issue that I had to deal with this year, I bought a kit and replaced the seal/bellows and piston. I also used red rubber grease under the seal and around the piston to prevent corrosion which is...

    Type-S trailer hitch

    Only difference might be if there was a twin exhaust but I am not sure they came that way from factory. I think it should fit easily.
