Hi all, the best " handbrake " I ever had on any car was operated by your left foot !!! 1992 Citroen XM 2.0 litre automatic estate - That car was SUPERB ! One of the best cars I have ever owned - the turning circle was amazing - far better than anything else, no shunting about forward and backwards as with other cars - the boot was huge, only the Mazda 929 estate was larger but not as tall due to the citroen`s amazing suspension !! which was out of this world !! - my accord is great and I love it but the XM was better in the areas I have listed above - can I just add, how someone with the manual gear change coped with that footbrake I have no idea, with the auto box on a hill start - one foot on the foot brake and one on the accelerator pedal - then push the release button on the dash - with the manual - no idea as you would need Three legs/feet so as not to roll backwards ?

Interesting reading as usual Trevor

I replaced the bulb and all good now. Thank you Trevor 👍 😊

I always park my cars in gear (2nd usually - as if started in gear will mostly just stall) but also always start with my foot on the clutch pedal. Reason being, handbrakes do fail and to stop the car from rolling away. Many years ago, Citroen very cleverly used the handbrake on the front brakes in the Xantia. Which was fine until the brakes cooled down (obviously getting hotter on the front) and then the tolerances changed when cold and the car rolled away....rediculous idea and not thought about at design stage. I still hear about cars with electric handbrake rolling away albeit slower than complete failure as there is some drag on the rear discs.

Hi All Just a little Tip for the non informed like myself, If you have to replace your Brake Light Switch at any time and your Car has Cruise Control, make sure that the Replacement Switch has Four Contacts , otherwise if you get the Two Contact version then the Cruise Control will not operate correctly, Just a Tip Bazzer RN 1

So promised update on the Royal Black Sport tyres fitted to my CRV, They are certainly giving a much more comfortable ride even with all the Pot Holes we all are suffering from Mr Sunak, and after having a new rear wheel bearing fitted this week even better positive steering ,with no slight wandering which was caused I believe by having two different makes and tyres treads fitted by the previous owner when bought the car. So in my opinion, Yes they seem to be a very good tyre for the money regarding Steering, Road Handling and comfort, the three most important things that I personally needed. That's all for now Folks.

Introduction: so I have myself a Honda Concerto, and have recently upgraded all speakers. the fronts were common sense, however when it came to the rears. I realised it wasn’t as simple and there was no write up on it. Tools needed: 17mm socket & a 3/8s ratchet 8mm socket ( I used a long 8mm ) and a quarter inch Ratchet. a pozzy screwdriver. Plastic trim tool. * I will add pictures also * To start off. the speaker is underneath the plastic shelf. To remove this you will need to undo 4 pozzy head screws, this will then undo the shelf. However, You will need to fold the seat down, and using a plastic trim tool. Pop off the plastic top off the seatbelt guide. once this is done, There you will see a 17mm bolt and a 8mm nut that you need to remove to undo the seatbelt runner/guide? This will then give you access to slide the plastic shelf covering the speaker off. Once you have removed that, you can then using a screwdriver undo the 4 screws holding the old speaker in place & begin with connecting and fitting your new set in. What size speaker?: for the rear I literally just bought the Pioneer TS-R1350S. They are 13cm and are the perfect fit. And for the fronts, I reckon you could go to the next size up. funnily enough, I did not take pictures of them fully fitted. ( it started raining ) But I can add a picture of them later on, ( take it from me, don’t remove the circle speaker top😂 as they will just snap :’) ( nothing a bit of super glue won’t fix - don’t @ me haha

Hello everyone, new to this group I'd like to know if anyone could share some information about my accord coupe. I've never seen another on uk roads, and would like to know some background on these, and if I've got a gem or a mess 🤔 😅 unfortunately the paint work has suffered some Laquer damage, but the rest is solid and tidy.

Hi everyone - I bought a Honda Freed (Spike) Japanese import a couple of weeks back which I'm really pleased with. There are though, loads of bits and pieces that I could do with understanding on the car but obviously the supplied owner manual is Japanese. Does anyone have any idea please how I can get hold of one in English ? Many thanks Gary
