You might find the Radio code in the "secret compartment", that's where mine was.
WHAT! You didn't know about the secret compartment?if we told you it would no longer be secret would it?

Condensation light... Could be a few things, I haven't changed bulbs yet but could the bulb housing need setting better? Hoping that it's not had a front ender (don't be surprised if it has by the way) unless its been repaired perfectly. That would be my first suspicion if you've bought without viewing. Have you looked under the car yet for that?

Oh, and you still get a large slap on the bottom from me, for buying without viewing.

I reckon the condensation in the light is just because it hasn't been used and maybe stood outside for a while... use the car for a bit with the lights on and I'm sure it'll go quick enough.

I saw the same thing on an 8 month old volvo v50 I had a look at a few weeks back

Haven't even opened either of mine yet since I bought in August. Maybe there's some Welsh treasure in mine?!

Ok couple of other things to ask -

I only have one key for the car, how straightforwad is it to get another key from Honda? I know some manufactures make it really hard and obscenely exPensive.

What is the original finish on the '04 facelift alloys? Mine need a refurb but finish looks almost slightly polished/anodised?!?

Cheers

It's diamond cut on the flat faces of the spokes IIRC and yes, the lacquer covering the finish is a pretty average quality. If i was you i'd get them powdercoated if you get them refurbished, whether you choose to retain the original colour is up to you

I obtained a second key last year. The key plus the coding wasn't very expensive IIRC. £100-£150 is probably the right ballpark. I bought the OEM blipper direct from the OEM alarm company (name escapes me but should be in the FAQ) and coded it myself following the instructions found on here.
