Honda wants about $100 to polish/restore the headlight lenses on my 2000 Accord. I find kits ranging in price from $10-$40. Are they all the same? Any recommendations as to which is good/bad? TIA.

"loewent" > wrote in message ... The real funny part about the temperature here is that its supposed to be -2C on Sunday. I may try another dealer. Thanks for the reply. t

turns out the old Honda s600 little sporty cars had a differential and half shafts in the rear, but then little sealed chain drives from the end of the half shaft to the rear wheel on either side. ???? just to reduce unsprung weight?? only reason i can think of.

I have a 2000 Accord LX 5sp. I had a Compustar remote starter installed. As it is for a standard transmission the engine is left running when you exit the vehicle if you want to put the car in 'reservation mode' to start remotely. Closing the door turns off the engine and locks the doors. This...

I can hardly believe it. 1994 Civic EX, 17 years old, and a professional thief hit it. Stole the aftermarket stereo (who cares!) but then my wife tried to start the car and couldn't. I got down there and found the ECM was gone, gone, GONE. Dude just unplugged it, though, from the looks of...

My driver side fan runs with the A/C always...also runs after shut-off for the requisite 5-10 minutes. Never seen the right-side fan run...esp now that I'm looking for it. I'm having intermittent near- overheating episodes. But once the guage starts to climb and I dump the A/C and goto full...

I'm not totally new to Hondas, but this code is totally new to me. CEL light came on Sun afternoon and I had the code read out at a local Autozone. Should I reset it and see if it reoccurs? Check anything out? Or just get it to the dealer ASAP? (my local Honda dealer is good and I have no...

I just went to change the center high brake light on my 2001 Odyssey LX. I unbolted the assembly per the instructions, twisted the connector, and then the old bulb wouldn't fit through the opening in the assembly! How are you supposed to get these things out, or get the new ones in? And while I'm...

Only 5000 miles on her but I notice the click in the right rear while stopping while going forward after backing up out of the driveway or wherever. It only does it the first time I come to a stop. Subsequent stops are quiet. Any ideas?

hi, i have a 2004 honda pilot and some idiot scraped my bumper. And now there is a line about 10 cm long and the paint is all scraped off, the black is showing. I tried using touch up paint but it won't cover up the black. Does anyone have any ideas which can help me. THxs

Can anyone estimate the cost to replace a transmission for a '97 Accord? A general ballpark figure would be great. Thanks.

I am on the verge of buying an Accord EX (automatic, 4 cylinder). I'll probably buy a 2004, but want to make sure there isn't some spectacular reason (other than depreciation) that I should be interested in the 2005. What's new for the 2005 model? Anything?

Hi all, Can anyone share the prices they obtained on a new 2005 EX-L (4 cylinder) with the navigation system? Edmunds does not seem to be giving accurate info (too high!). Lowest I've gotten so far is carsdirect at 24,600. I'm willing to put whatever time I need to into getting the best...

Well, looks like our '91 Civic made its last stand.. After a week and a half of not using it, it won't start anymore.. My plans are to sell it as soon as possible.. Gonna buy my boss's '01 Toyota Highlander (it would make an excellent family car) .. But, I'd like to get it working again before...

Hi everybody, I'm looking at buying a cheap used car and I have a lead on a 1990 Civic -- manual tranny. I've done a little (very little) research on this model and it seems to be the least mecahnically reliable model year of the "recent" Civics (one website has a 5-star rating system, this model...

Hello, I have 50K miles on my 2002 Honda Accord Sedan EX V6 and the tread on my tires are worn just in time for the Northern Virgnia winter. Does anyone have a recommendation on replacement tires? The stock tires currently on my car are Michelin P205/65R15 MXV4 PLUS 92V M+S ENERGY Radial XSE My...

Apparently grade logic downshifting occurs when certain combinations of braking, rpm and vacuum occur. Can anyone tell me what these combos are for a 2000 Ody? Dick

Sorry. I don't know if it can be enabled. It is quite annoying though. Especially since I have it on my 96 although it is from the aftermarket alarm. It really is annoying to find the unlock button at night when it isn't lit. I like the unlock button right next to the handle so that you can use...

91 Accord LX. I don't know that it's the engine, I suspect it's the wheels. It is audible at lower speeds (under 10 mph). The best way I can describe it is a clanking noise as opposed to a grinding noise. As far as I can tell, the car is driving fine - I get on the highway to to to work...

Hey guys, Just checking ideas on whats causing the following symptoms (Automatic 96 Accord EX). This just started this morning. - I drove to work no problem (30mins). Parked and turned off the car, then decided i needed to straighten up a bit, so started the car and after starting, it cut off. I...
