    ABS & VSA Warning Lights staying on

    For the 2.4, it's most likely one of your ABS sensors has died. A decent OBD reader, or HDS will tell you which one.

    High mileage club?

    Current mileage on my 2003 2.4 Type S. Only failed 1 MOT too! Had the timing & oil chains changed in March, and it's been through a few clutches (2nd is starting to feel like it needs chaning soon).

    MPG

    Not done any MPG calculations for about 4 months, but in my 2.4 Manual (145k miles) - I get an average of about 30. The last few fillups before giving up tracking were 29.8 29.4 31 30.3 31.6 Number of miles per tank hasn't changed significantly in those months, so it's usually 360-370 per...

    T/C + VSA Light = No codes?

    Hi Guys, Got a bit of a strange problem with my Type S - Had the N/S/R ABS sensor changed, and all codes cleared - Now the T/C light is on instantly, and the VSA light comes on the first time the brakes are touched after going above 30. Had the car on 2 different scanners this afternoon, one...

    Dim Headlight

    Hi Guys, I've just replaced the N/S headlight, but it's a little dim - The bulbs are 55W H1. Is this a duff bulb, or a bad earth somewhere? The car loves to eat bulbs, but then I've read they all do! Thanks.

    How do I tell if my Clutch Release Bearing is faulty?

    I've got what sounds like exactly the same - Sometimes it takes a few nudges to put it into 1st, and when pulling away, sometimes there's an odd chirp/grinding noise from the clutch when slowly releasing it. Not too sure if it's the release bearing, or just worn pressure plates (wouldn't expect...

    Aux belt? Help please

    I've got a similar thing on mine, although it's more of a rattle - Once it's warmed up its fine. I'm guessing its down to the PAS Pump - Fluid is fine, although could do with a change!

    Car mileage vs maintenance costs (if NOT done yourself)

    I've got a 2003 7th Gen Type S with 137,000 miles on, and do about 24,000 a year. Other than general wear items, I've not really spent anything out of the ordinary to keeping it going. Bought it in June 2012, and so far - O/S/R Wheel Bearing - About £250 (Honda) - 4 New Tyres £208 (Honda...

    New brake pedal switch

    Thanks for the guide, used it this morning to adjust the switch as it kept setting of the VSA light each time I touched the brakes, and I had no brake lights! - Lights are working and no more VSA light, but I've broken the cruise control! (New switch is on the way!) As for your new rumble...
