I will look at my workshop manual and see if it can be taken out without removing the console and if so I'll post the process for you

Cup holders and gear surround need removed and unplug heated seat switches if equipped also gear knob needs removed. Should be two bolts in there and another two behind a cover that pulls off at the rear of console between rear footwells. Should be two black Philips screws underneath where cup...

Was pretty annoyed that they didn't get it right first time but actually happy with them now that they took it back and made sure it was put right. The car is now going on 11 yrs old and was fully expecting them to just say that with the cars age its going to make noises and its nothing to worry...

Yep if it's the type with the discs for normal braking and the drum in disc with shoes for handbrake the shoes might need backed off a bit if they are binding

Could be the brake lines, the rubber ones in the wheel well that connect to the calipers maybe they are past it and they are swelling so not releasing their pressure

Yep would be good to own one of those electronic mechanics ear machines as it pointed them to the correct area from the start. Track rod ends(which i replaced), inner tie rods and steering rack looked like the most likely culprits which would of been alot of expense and problem would of still...

Update Dropped it off Monday night and was ready by end of Tuesday but only got round to picking up today. Noise gone, they lowered subframe again and rubbed down any corrosion and lubricated where the rubber mounts mate against the chassis and the noise remained. So they removed anti roll...

Could be the self adjusting mechanism is ready to click to the next part of its range and will then sort itself. 1100 for both clutch and flywheel from dealer is a good price as the flywheel is almost 1500 on its own. The type s clutch is stronger and is a straight swap the flywheel for the...

I've to drop it off when i can and he'll sort it. He was very apologetic. I didn't fly off the handle. I would of turned straight back with it on Friday but they were due to close and it was pretty hectic whilst i was there

Yep just waiting on service manager to get back to me. He's either at desk all day or in workshop which is where he was Friday as his hands looked dirty. He's in workshop again today. Will keep you posted

I thought that myself. The service manager drive the car himself with me in the car before they worked on it and confirmed he could hear it. As far as i know because the wheel caster changes when steering even when stationary the lower control arm would have some up and down movement which the...

The clicking is definitely in the steering movement. It does it when wheels aren't moving

I initially called them to price getting the ball joints replaced and the service manager said he doubted that was where the noise was coming from. He stated to me in his experience its aftermarket ones that are failing. If the boots on them look fine and there is no play then they should be...

09 accord tourer ex 2.2 i-dtec 165k Been getting creaking and clicking noise when parking mainly steering left. Had now gotten to when driving at slow speeds and also slight left turning and can hear it when suspension rebounds when over speed bumps. Noticed track rod ends leaking grease both...

To me that looks like one of the feet off of something like a skip truck. The arms they swing out to balance the truck the bit that rests on the ground

Yep if bonnet is slightly opened hazards don't flash i think to catch your attention that car isn't secure

Open airbox and remove filter then fasten airbox up. See if the knocks are still present when starting and shutting off. If gone - problem solved get a new filter. If knocking still present - put filter back in and get mounts checked by mechanic before replacement as they ain't the cheapest of...

Good call never thought of that. I would try this first before tackling mounts.

Just noticed you mentioned oil needing changed next month but i would do air filter as well. Engine might not be getting enough air if slightly clogged. Ecu might be compensating during normal running but causing not a 100% optimal start up and shut down

When was it last serviced? If it's been a while then a new air filter fuel filter and oil and filter changed is worth doing might save you spending unnecessary on new mounts if it sorts it
