The smallest car I have ever owned was a 2.0 Nissan Primera so I can`t really say from experience but doing the ammount of motorway miles I do and the things I see it puts me off smaller cars somewhat, not that a larger car will always save you but I think you stand a greater chance. If I...

In the staff car park here at Southampton Airport I often think I see an available parking space, then I reverse all the way up the isle just to find a small car parked right at the back!!! Am I the only one that notices this and is irritated by the lack of consideration or am I just being...

I know that feeling, done that myself a few times. Another frustrating thing is losing tools!!! Spent hours looking for a misplaced spanner or tube of copper grease. :confused:

I had an old Nissan Primera as my first car, managed to crush the immobiliser fob in a door. It cost me £110 for a new fob and £150 to get the car to the dealers so they could re-program it!!! :sad2:

Thing is, did she give you your money back?!?!?

The day I picked up my Legend I managed to lock the keys in the boot!!:oops: Had to become an instant member of the RAC so they could break in and retrieve them :embarrest: Luckily we were not late for the barbeque :D

I remember having to tow my mums AX off the M3 once, she ran out of water and ceased the engine. Luckily the junction was only 100 yards away. She thought she was in the AA but my dad had taken her off the policy and put my sisters name on instead without telling her!!!

Sorry, this should have been in general car chat.....:oops:

Found this review quite interesting http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/used_car_reviews/article3552994.ece

Have to change the gearbox oil today then in the old accord and replace one of the window regulators. Hate working on them in the cold or wet!!!

It was certainly a waste of hard earned cash!!! Don`t want to go back to standard but if that`s what it takes

Wondering if anyone knows of any bespoke exhaust manufacturers in the Hampshire area. I had one made a while ago and asked for a standard replacement in stainless steel so it would last longer. When I picked up the car it sounded terrible, made motorway journeys very uncomfortable...

Does anyone know if it is possible to remap a 2000 Honda Legend? If so can it be done in the Hampshire area? Many thanks in advance

The one arrowed below had the only spark plug with correct coloured deposits, maybe that should have pointed to this problem

Does a Boeing 747 count ??? ;)

Fixed at last!!!!!! :bigsmile: It was the EGR system, Totally blocked to three of the cylinders!!! Thanks to everybody for all your help, I have learned a lot in the last two weeks. Is it worth cleaning the EGR system on the Accord and the Legend (RL) at regular intervals anyway???

I have EGR cleaning planned for tomorrow / Tuesday, Throttle body for Wednesday and diagnostic booked with Honda on Thursday (Booked ages ago but this was first appointment available) we will see......

Today, replaced fuel filter, injectors, distributor cap plus rotor with no change!!! :(

Thinking this may be my problem, a cracked injector! I will get some more and try, fingers crossed!!!

The car goes as well as ever when I put my foot down, it`s only when I`m gentle that I get problems (Holding speed and light acceleration) my wife is the main driver of this car now and she has got a VERY light right foot!!! I fitted the new O2 sensor today with no change at all :( scheduled...

Thank you, I have replaced the O2 sensor with lead and plug about 25cm off another Accord and tried another without plug off a Rover 75 (both from breakers yard). I have just ordered a brand new one (due Wednesday) I have not done any modifications and am using standard supermarket...

I have a UK 1996 Honda Accord 2.2 VTEC with misfire problems and running very lean on fuel. It is fine for the first 3 minutes from cold then starts misfiring under load (Gearbox engaged rather than disengaged), this occurs when holding a constant speed or lightly accelerating, this happens up...
