Having been running Michelin PS3s for a good while and been very pleased I then went on to the PS4s. Can't really give a good review as they were only on the car for less than three weeks before it was written off... Gutted :-(
My type s is very close to 143k on the original clutch and yes I too have the same irritating squeaky clutch pedal. I'm not going to fork out several hundred quid just to get the master clutch cylinder changed....
Now bearing in mind the current state of the country's pot holed roads which aren't exactly doing our cars any good, but is there an age / mileage whereby we should consider replacement of wheel rims? Thoughts anyone?
Great choice of car, hope you have many miles of fun motoring in your type S. Might be worth going through the service history to find out what needs doing and get the work done. A change of all the major fluids wouldn't be a miss. My accord type S has just turned 137k and is still running...
My beloved 2.4 Type S tourer seems to be drinking a little more oil than I would ideally like. Over the last few times it has been serviced, there is no evidence of leakage underneath the car (clean as a whistle so to speak) or dropping oil on the road etc. I am having to keep topping the oil...
You also get the head gasket changed.... Less likelihood of that failing if you follow manufacturers recommendations. I've just got a Honda to replace mine because it is leaking slightly when this was done less than 20k ago...Honda Happiness
I had a driveshaft go, but it turned out to be the big bearing on the end of it. Bought genuine Honda part, got local garage to fit, and sold redundant part on ebay.... The actual shaft was fine just the bearing. Been fine since :-)
I find my type S tourer a great place to be in. The buttons and other controls are easy to use and it doesn't look over complicated. I love the half leather seats, the all red instrument panel something that was ruined after the 2005 facelift when it went red and white. Okay so I don't have...
Just bought 4 new Michelin Ps3s at £105 per tyre fitted. Initial impressions much better than the Bridgestone S001's they've replaced. Both brands very good in the dry and wet. The 225 /45/17 91Y seem good on my type S tourer :-)
