  • Honda Accord UK (2003 - 2008) - 04 petrol engine over revving after month standing 31 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    My 2004 Honda Accord I have not used for a month, and today polished it up, jump started it and got the cobwebs out. (Been running round in a Corolla). On the Accord I thoroughly warmed it up, and took it for a 2 mile spin. Something is seriously wrong! When idling it goes vroom, to 3000 RPM

  • Is it sensible to buy a NEW model/technology. 6 Feb 2008 (Forum)

  • Honda CR-V II (2002 - 2006) - Gunged up screen washers 18 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    from the dealers. She recommended not using any screen wash whatsoever as Honda now don't put any in when they service cars. Not wanting to face winter and the crappy roads without some sort of screen wash in the car, and in particular to keep it the runny side of frozen does anyone have any
  • Honda Accord immobiliser? 9 Mar 2007 (Forum)
    , no obvious flaps to open. There is a plipper, but the spare key is without one, so can't be in there! I'm loathe to take it to Honda, as I suspect it'll be expensive!! Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, Alex. -- Dr Alex Mears MG BGT 1971 If you are in a hole stop digging...unless you are a miner.

  • Honda-wobbly brake calliper 23 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    . I cant see that not having the backing shims on would cause the excessive play. Should I renew the sliders and caliper bracket? Perhaps I should buy the original Honda pads which come with the shims. Anyone had this? Mikey.
  • Honda Jazz v Toyota Yaris 28 Jul 2004 (Forum)
    My wife wants a small, economical car that is well built and will last. The Jazz is very impressive, but I have posted views on the dreaded suspension issue before - swmbo found it too unforgiving. We have looked at the new Panda, but I would prefer to buy Japanese (we have a Honda CR-V which has

  • Honda Civic - Honda Civic Showroom launch 21 Feb 2017 (Forum)
    a spacesaver with the more powerful engine is to buy the top model as lower models have a central exhaust that takes up the spare well. Finally I decided to download the brochure when I got home but Honda UK's link for the 2017 Civic actually takes you to the outgoing model. Unbelievable, don't

  • Honda Accord Tourer (2003 - 2008) - iCTDI a Long term review 7 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    and paid themselves to change the oil ? kudos to Bromley Honda. The centre console was changed under warranty because the lid mechanism wasn't working properly. The paint on the bonnet is very thin indeed - there are several stone chips starting to rust. It doesn't tramline on Pirelli P6000 Powergy tyres
  • Is it just me or is old age creeping on? 21 Jan 2004 (Forum)
    On the box the other night there was an advert that turned out to be for a Honda. The ad opened with a party scene in a sitting room with a bowl of keys being handed around, with the implication that this was a wife swapping party. A large lady then picked up the bowl and selected the keys
