High Jetter Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I was working in the parts department of a Honda dealership when these came out - lovely to drive and even fewer warranty claims than on other cars at the time. Though to be fair the earlier Accords were excellent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing that a tie-wrap around any rotating part works too. Or a condom over the exhaust pipe secured with a tie-wrap. Jack the front up, drop the oil then replace sump plug, should make it approx 1 mile from your house and then you'll never see it again Craig the Princess, HarmonicCheeseburger, paulplom and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 A mate of mine suggested vaselene on the windscreen wipers (it was raining) as a good one too. Sadly being about twenty feet from the back gate to a primary school is both the main cause of this recurring problem and limits how much you can really do about it. The long term solution is simple: move. We didn't even realize the school was there until we'd moved in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago I worked for Barnet Housing as we were in a van and the dunces at the top had not sorted us out an exception we had to drive off on the magic hour. The idiot manager would then tell us we should have taken lunch then, yeah right like I am having lunch at 10am or 3pm twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayts450 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 All Vxls are shit. Hence why for my new courier venture I've just bought a Combo (so it's really a Fiat) - I pick this little beauty up on Saturday (seller photo) Okay, it's done over 100K miles, but it's 1 owner (Mitie, ex-lease) and was only used locally in the last two years for grounds maintenance and carting a lawnmower around. Absolutely immaculate not a scratch or dent on it, and the lessee clearly ticked the options button as it's got everything. Is the farty 1.3 stop-start for OMGMPG, but that's totally sufficient for my needs. Has had clutch replaced, and has full service history so should be no timing chain disasters. Has a speed limiter on it too (70) - bah More proper photos and write up when I pick it up.
