Hi Paul I had the same with my car a few years back. The saloon on the 8th gen has the same rear brake setup as the 7th gen tourer. A recon caliper from ECP and new brake lines sorted out the problem. The piston on the affected caliper was very tight to push back in hence it was shot

Fit a cold air full ram induction kit. This will give you all the noise your after. In Vtec the noise is mind blowing

Cheers bud. I’m so reluctant to sell for a newer car as Honda has nothing to compare to the Accord. Unless I win the lottery and a new NSX wil be on the drive. I’m waiting for next year as the Honda CRV are bringing out a petrol hybrid. As for the sunroof only EX models have them. I’m sure the...

Iv got one lol

Hear you go and yes the correct grade is low saps 0w-30

Check for scorching on your rear pads and disks. I drove an Auto a few years back for a courtesy car and from memory I was getting around 35mpg around town and 45 on the motorway. I would have thought 0-30 oil for your car but believe Honda are now using 0-20 across the range.

I use dash command with my iPhone and works perfect for clearing faults. You need a WiFi interface unit that plugs into your obd2 port to link up. Brought mine off eBay for about £10

What spec and model did you buy in the end. I get around 28 mpg around town with my 2.4 manual petrol.

Also are you 100% it’s not your injectors as these tap slightly and is normal

Petrol 7gens should be checked every 25k for valve clearance. On the 8th gen every 50k Just had mine checked and adjusted and 6 needed adjustment and the engine is a lot quieter.

There was a thread Hear with very similar symptoms and it was the back up battery on the alarm system. This is a separate battery in case the main car battery fails.

Brian the 2 images are both pre facelift by the grills. Can't 100% tell but the bottom image looks like a type S Hence the clear lights and body kit

It looks like a genuine disk but I would expect it to come with a proper case and cover. At this price I would say it's a fake.

Can you get some photos up or a link to where you brought it.

Brian mine also had BC in the vin so was made in Japan. I can't believe Honda would make an EX without nav and rear camera but I could be wrong.

Orange lenses is not a type S and all EX models come with sat nav and rear camera. Also dident the face lift come out in 2012 if so these all have clear lenses.

Iv had this from day 1 on my 8th gen. I'm with Jon with the starter motor over running and not disengage. If you let the key go as soon as the car fires up you don't get the noise.

Give a honda dealer a call with your reg and they will send out the correct brake items for your car. OEM brakes are the best by a long way IMO and are not much more expensive than after market.

Forgot EBC in my experience there a wast of time and poor quality. Get ATR calipers or even better 8th gen twin pot calipers found on the type S diesel and 2.4 You can stop on a 2 pence on stock disks and pads.

I'm sure the facelift will fit on the prefacelift. The only difference is the facelift had 1 extra cable for the folding motor
