My 2.4 Tourer has 16's and 205/55/16 91v. I'm actually thinking of getting a set of 17's to put on there as the 16's just look tiny on the car. Be aware any XL rated tyre will inherently be stiffer hence a harsher ride and potentially nosier than the equivalent non XL tyre. So unless you...

Nope, TRW don't do drilled or grooved options for the Accord, that I could find anyway. 200miles+ no issues returned. Replaced the rears a few days later due to the disappointment with TRW. Put EBC disc/pad kit on the rear. Overall braking feel and performance has drastically improved over the TRW.

I bought a decent one from fleabay too, seems to be doing the job well. that was about £100 too. And it wasn't an exchange to I have the OE one off my 2.4 which still works was just getting a bit lazy and I didn't want to be stranded so swapped it out. I found it a very easy job by taking the...

I thought there was an XcarLink interface for this?

Number of pulleys/wheels under the bonnet could be anything, could be alternator whine?

OK, I wouldn't expect Yoko's to be noisy then. Still ight be worth a swap around front to back to see what happens unless you already did that. Then if nothings sticking yea I guess one would look at bearings, shafts etc.

What brand of tyres do you have? cheapo budgets are known to cause droning noises (from personal experience), can make you chase your tail at bearings and all sorts. Saying that I find Bridgestone a noisy tyre and don't like them, only have two as they came on the car and too much life left in...

Damn, I could have used this discount if I'd checked ECP website this morning, forgot!

Well just got back from a short gingerly drive after fitting new Jurid Coated discs and Bendix pads, I had one of those stonking GSF codes so got the set for £80. Problem seems to have disappeared although I need to give it some miles before I do any heavy braking. Very surprised by this as...

Wheels swapped front/back. No difference. Investigating replacement discs/pads now. It's the only thing left that I can think of.

Hi Matt, I can confirm its not the ABS. My experience of ABS activating is the sensation felt in the pedal as the modulator pumps and I do not feel that. I tested the ABS when we had a bit of snow and could feel the ABS distinctly different feeling.

I have gotten 36mpg in a run from my 2.4 Auto Tourer. 20-30mpg in town. My AC is on all the time. MPG depends on a lot of things including maintenance. I don't think ppl buy 2.4s for their economy...

My tourer is the same with self centering. No issues with ball joints as I have undone and inspected them. I have also done a PAS flush with OE fluid which did help notchy feeling but no difference to self centering. Alignment on geometry system shows no problems either. I just think it's the...

This crossed my mind regarding build up of pad material although I would have expected the DTI to pick that up. I do get a grip and slip sensation when applying the brakes at low and moderate speeds. I wasn't sure how to explain it but grip and slip makes sense.

Been through this in original post. Tyres out of balance I know from my own experience is felt regardless of brake application. alignment is fine. Thanks.

Hi, I have the black coated ones, high carbon to reduce noise. They seemed good quality out of the box. Have not rusted. I did notice the NSR developed a scour mark in the centre of the disc I took it apart and cleaned it, this was before I had these problems. I put it down to all the crap we...

OK will do. Not to discount your suggestion as I appreciate it but I have been over the tyres a few times and couldn't relate the issue to them but to eliminate this I will do it later. Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk

Rears - Bridgestone Fronts - New Avons My regular tyre fitter found no issues with the tyres or balancing. If tyres/wheel problem would I not expect to see vibration regardless of touching the brakes? its smooth as silk otherwise.

See original post, yes.

HI All 2.4 Tourer Auto (2004 vintage) Now before everyone auto defaults to discs this is what I have done so far: TRW Discs/Pads all round around March 2017, both new rear calipers (old ones had seized) at the same time. Everything was fine until a few months ago when I started to notice...
