Honda Accord 2.0 Executive
Discussion
I’ve got one of those as a tourer sat on my drive needing some TLC. It’s a 2.0 auto in graphite pearl. Ran it for 3 years until I got my landrover and then the future Mrs Godzilla had it until she got her scirocco and we never got round to selling it. It’s been mostly faultless other than some sticking brakes and constantly blowing headlight bulbs.

Serviced the car today. Still hasn't hit 40k miles yet.
Plugs, oil, oil filter, air filter and pollen filter.
Also replaced the abs sensor. What a b
d that was. Took us over 2 hours of digging the snapped part out.
At least it is now down and I no longer have an abs light on.
Next is get it booked in for an MOT and then get the car advertised for sale as I am expecting to have my M5 and its rebuilt engine back mid next month.

I would keep it on standby until the M5 is bedded back in and you are confident in it.

That's scrubbed up very nicely, it's a great shade of blue 
Cheers, it isn't a bad colour at all. Looks like I may need to keep this a little longer. My M5 block isnt back from the machine shop yet as as 2 cylinders need a slight over bore and the rest need honing it is not looking promising for me picking up the car on the 13 of April.
That looks such a comfortable set-up with the leather. I've thought about sourcing a black set for my Accord but lower spec ones like mine lack the wiring looms in the floor for the electric controls so the best I can get is the part leather from a sport or type-S 
Good luck with the sale, I don't reckon you'll have any problems moving her on.

It is quite good on a run. Not built for throwing it around mind. Good luck with the sale, I don't reckon you'll have any problems moving her on.
That's a shame about the looms.
Cheers, I hope not. One of my neighbours seems to be interested in it.

Why sell it keep it running and enjoy it - or don’t you really like it..hence wanting to move it on so relatively soon after buying?
The car is a stop gap until my M5 comes back, so it is pointless me keeping it once it returns. Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
