    Knocking Noise Mystery

    Well it has now been a year and a half and the knocking noise is still there. I took it to a Honda dealer and they stripped the rear of the car and put it back together. They could not find anything wrong with it. They just said it is safe and don't worry about it. They also mentioned they...

    Knocking Noise Mystery

    I have a knocking which sounds like it is coming from the rear of my car although it could just sound as though it is. It tends to knock more when the car wobbles and when the car come to a stop. I have now had this problem for nearly a year and have so far taken it to 4 garages. Each garage...

    CAI K&N for CU2

    Astounds me how much these are (saying that it may be just me being tight) When I had my 7th Gen, I bought one of eBay for £40 (new). It stated it was for the Accord but when I got it, it was for the US Accord. I contacted K&N and explained that I bought a kit but it was not for my car and I...

    Cars going in for repairs.

    Thanks for the Info Brian. The CV Boot cost me £90. I have however come to the conclusion it is the rear brakes that are making the noise. It only does it when I am braking at a slow speed (I ***ume it does it at any speed but when slow I can hear it) Therefore back to the other garage now who...

    Cars going in for repairs.

    Had another drive in the car and I have no idea where the noise is coming from but as Brian stated, it could be coming from the CV Boot what Kwik Fit changed. I have looked at both sides as I ***ume you change both as a set (correct me if I am wrong) One side is grease free but the passenger...

    Cars going in for repairs.

    I agree Rich but after the money I have spent I am hoping the car is sorted for many many years to come. I did think of that but felt I had to get it through the MOT at the very least to sell the car (which was most of the money spent) Took it to Kiwk Fit this morning and they could not hear...

    Cars going in for repairs.

    Had to save some money on the Service & MOT so went to Kiwk Fit this time. Went back this morning, they think the balancing weight may be catching on something which is making the knocking noise as this is the thing they did with the wheels. They could not hear the noise and confirmed that...

    Front Impact sensor

    Well, bought the Impact sensor and fitted it. IT WORKS !!!!!! Thank god for that, one less thing to worry about. If it did not work, I would have no alternative but to go to Honda and it would have costed approx. £350+ Instead this part only cost me £40 Just rear Calipers, Disc, Pads, MOT...

    Front Impact sensor

    I am thinking the same Fahad. Think I will get it tomorrow and fit it. The drivers side is positioned upside down to the passengers side so that the plug fits on from the wheel side (white bit is the bottom of the sensor) Drivers Side Passenger Side Hopefully the airbag light will just...

    Front Impact sensor

    One quick question : I Need for the passenger side - Part No 77930-TC0-H21 The one advertised on eBay stated this number. However when I went to collect it the part number was - 77930-TC0-H11 This part number is the sensor for the drivers side. They look identical, do you think this would be...
