Anyone Owned A Honda Accord Euro?
Discussion
So as an update, my son passed his test and I actually managed to find him his own TPF&T policy with Coles for $525 a year with me as a named driver. Bloody amazing price for a 17 year old who's just passed his test, at least now he can hopefully start to build his own no claims up.
I checked UK prices and for a 17yr old new driver on a VW Passat 3.2V6 4Motion it would have been GBP3,889 ($7,350) with a compulsory black box, some quotes were GBP15K!!

Hmmm, my comment on reliability... just took my Euro into Honda as the engine light came on last night....
Oops! Isn't that always the way! Hopefully nothing too serious, I'll take a stab in the dark and say O2 sensor

$3500 bill coming up. Deciding now whether to have the work done or offload it in favour of a new car. Problem is they can't do the work for a few weeks and don't have a car available to borrow...

You're right, O2 sensor... but also CAT replacement required

Something like this (no affiliation - just a google search) :-http://www.icetronixcatalog.com/honda-accord-cl9-e...
Or, take out the old cat, and powerdrill the insides out. Hammer drill will be needed, or air tools. This has the advantage, of still looking like a working cat when it's in place.
You usually need a spacer on the O2 hole (usually 1 or 2cm) to pull the sensor a little out the airflow, this tricks it into reading an ECU happy value.
