    Got it back friday wotz, total overhaul on the gearbox.
    The goal was to have it done for that wedding so they came through and turned it round pretty quickly for me!

    Haven't noticed any other accord drivers here I'd say I'm in the minority ;)

    Loving it so far but I really need to change the wheels any advice?

    The Accord Type S 180 had some nice rims as standard, if you could find a set of them for sale. I think they were 18" so they fill the arches better.

    Try a few Honda dealers here too as they stopped selling the Accord last year so some dealers might be sitting on accessories like alloy wheels they want rid of at a reduced price.

    They look very small in the arch probably even worse when actually beside it.

    I used https://postimage.org to post the image to and then scroll down and copy the link from hotlink for forum line it's easy enough.

    The executive is a great spec car I'm still playing with the voice commands for navigation and climate control very handy

    Ill give it a wash over the weekend throw them up for you. I have 225 45 18 Michelin Supersports on them. They have rim protectors on them but even still the alloys are kerb marked.... Great car, have it about 4 years now, apart from getting the DPF cleaned. Never totally happy with the mpg(english import like yours), 42mpg average on a weekly 200 mile motorway commute.

    Best of luck with yours, nice car!

    Mine is actually an Irish car mate its 1 owner before me bought and serviced in honda garage down in kerry.

    I can't complain on fuel consumption I'm getting about 6.5 liters per 100km from it and that's a mixture of town driving and some trips out the roads to the parents or a day trip on a Sunday somewhere.

    All good so far it was in the garage today getting the clutch servo changed in it they develope a squeek seemingly its common and didn't have one in Tockenham when I was buying it and brakes greased because of annoying squeal all covered on guarantee so all ok but lovely to drive.
