Only whines when driving. Haven't had a chance to test with a multi meter, but contacted my mechanic and he said it could be any number of things. Even the timing belt being over tensioned when last...

Hi,

Been trying to determine if the whine in my Accord is the tranny, or the alternator. Have a feeling it's the alternator as the shifts are sharp, and silky smooth even when cold, to the...

Oh car is being kept stock , except for a possible stereo upgrade. I put aftermarket coils and wheels on my last accord and was a complete PITA not to mention expensive. Tyre wear was insane....

Thanks - tranny seems fine . Has a soft whine but every Accord I've ever driven (a lot...) also does this.

I'm not going to flog the bollocky out of it, armchair cruiser only. My wife has a...

Hi guys,

Put a down payment on a 6th Gen 2002 VTi-L with 120k on it. I've searched the forum (been a member here since '04) and there's very little info on this model... ?

The intargooglweb...

Drove about an hour out of Brisbane in 32dg heat, driving up a fairly steep rise.....POP and what sounded like gravel or sticks stuck underneath the car.

Air con compressor has obviously gone....

Yep, my 07 VTi had the switch replaced last week under warranty. 20 min job, drive in, get a free Nespresso from the dealer, drive out.

Thx bai

If the battery in mine is ever disconnected it...

Dunno what fuel economy on a manual is like but the Mrs has a '00 CRV sport as her daily. Gets about 8L per 100 on the highway and 10L around town. Quite economical for the size of the car. ...

^^^ bigger wheels and tyres also make a huge improvement to ride quality

Hi - I'd be interested in these if they fit the GD shape as well. I opted for included floor matts on my 07 VTi and the car now has 45k on it.

The OEM Honda matts are poor quality, the drivers...

I can pretty confidently say you're mad for taking an RD-1 through Condamine Gorge. I have no idea how you managed to get through all 14 crossings. We tried this earlier in the year (before the...

My GD experiences this. I've accepted it as fairly normal and it'll go away after 5 mins driving.

Do not like. Failed.

Just looks way too odd....

Just quizzed my local dealer about fuel consumption. '07 GD3 VTi 1.5L 5spd Manual Jazz (32xxx km). The service guy reckoned anything between 6.0L and 7.0L per 100km for city driving is normal. All...

Just a FYI - a lot of Brisbane BPs are going to be short supplied on BP Ultimate especially over xmas. So grab it while you can.

Any further word how it happened? Intentional perhaps? (disgruntled servo attendant...)

Bad luck man....that's fuqd up alright.

I'd believe it actually :rolleyes:

Good list - will make sure I get my bearings checked next service (40k)

Normal. I have an MY07 with 30k on it and everyday fuel consumption has only started to match Honda's claimed figures in the last 10,000 kays.

Dealer reckons the rear trailing arm bushes on our CRV are split/fractured and need to be replaced. Gonna cost me $500.....fkn ouch :(

I'm slightly n00b when it comes to certain mechanical stuff,...

Yeah tru, problem is getting it there though. I can walk to Southside Honda in less than 10 mins which is bloody handy :)

That feature has been on Hondas for a long time. Had it on my '91 Accord :)

Hi guys,

Got a 40k'er coming up soon for my Jazz. Apparently it's a major one. Best quote I've got so far is $500 (dealer).

Sound competitive?

Cheers,
Ian :)

OK I think I've narrowed it down to the rear window struts - seem a bit loose. I reckon one of my GFs friends probably tried to open the tailgate first without popping the rear window glass. ...

Thanks man I'll give it a try
