Hi folks, Just an observation rather than a fault but just thought I'd run it past you knowledgeable folks...recently replaced the front discs and pads of my Accord, fitted new Pagid discs and Honda pads...can braking fine, no juddering or squealing, stops in a straight line..magic. However I do...

Hi, I;ve got a 2.4 auto saloon (MY2006)with 80k...around town with the odd burst on the motorway the average is 30mpg..on a longer decent motorway cruise I can get it well into the 40's...not so bad given the performance and size...the wife uses it for her day to day running about and 30 mile...

Hi folks, well I successfully replaced the rear bearing/hub...I must apologise in that I don't have any pics as I was covered in oil and grease most of the time and the clock was ticking !. Fortunately, as mentioned earlier, if you can change disks and pads then changing the hub is a doddle...

That's what I've got coming... I actually ordered my blueprint bearing/hub from Amazon for £75... I'll let you know how I get on.. Hopefully with pics and little swearing :-)

Hi mate, that was earlier post as above...I have the same car and issue.. I've got a blueprint bearing/hub on its way..I changed the rear disks and pads earlier in the year so I'll bolt on the new hub and let you know if that solves the drone :-)

Cheers mate, yes it's a saloon I've got.. I'll get some pics up as I go.. Have a good weekend folks

Ah, I see cheers Freddo...many thanks for the info...I think I'll give blueprint parts a go, came across this one which I think will fit and has decent warranty for £68: https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/blue-print/2887828 I can get the Nordic equivalent from Redline via Amazon for £45 but I've...

Will do Saj...lots of pics needed... Freddo, just a quick query..whereabouts did you get your part number from ? I;ve looked on the lings website and the official schemas and its coming up with partno PFKL580912...I can find a number of compatible ***emblies that match the number 42200 number...

Many thanks for the reply Freddo...after doing a wee bit of digging I didn't realise the bearing & hub was a straightforward replace...I did the discs and pads a wee while back so have the tools to give the bearings a go...I take it there's nothing I have todo with regards the ABS sensors etc ...

Well the noise has been getting worse so dropped the car into my regular garage.. They reckon the rear offside bearing is goosed (shame as car only done 78k)... As for price they say 90 plus vat for labour, as for parts they think the bearings and hub maybe all one unit.., Any thoughts ? Price...

Thanks a lot mate, I've got Honda ps fluid, axle stands and the like so will have a go with a repair and full flush..Cheers again

Cheers Jon, I'm tempted to give it a go. As I will be replacing the cooler pipe anyway (and this is low pressure) would it make sense to empty the system first, replace the pipe then do a refill ? as the pipe will be removed I could empty the old fluid through the rubber hose the pipe connects...

I think its speed as being an auto the box likes to keep the revs around 2k...once over 30mph the drone increases and becomes more noticeable....funny how its only really come on over the last month or so. As for the cooler pipe yeah I've just got to get hold of a suitable pipe and get it...

Cheers Jon, I havn't been driving the car much over the last couple of months as my wife has been driving it but I escaped with it over the weekend...nothing seems out of the ordinary when cornering and its only on the straights above 30 when the drone becomes noticeable...unfortunately I havn't...

Hi folks, I've got a 2006 Accord 2.4 exec auto which I bought with 70k on the clock 8 mths ago...now on 78k...over the last month or so I've noticed a droning noise when I go over 30mph....I jacked up each corner and can't detect any bearing issues (no evident play on the wheel and each wheel...

Hi mate and welcome, I have a 2006 2.4 saloon...I had a similar problem quite recently...was repairing my rear parking sensors and when removing the boot trim I noticed a pool of water in the right side boot floor...after much experimentation with a hose I found the problem, if I pulled up the...

definitely coming from the pedal box area...funnily enough I was just out with the car earlier and it didn't squeak...parked up, nipped into the shops..then when I drove away it came back..odd...its not a noisy squeak just an annoying one when you become aware of it...brakes all working fine

Thank you..I do have silicon grease but unsure where exactly I should put it..ahem

Cheers mate...I see the pedal mechanism under the dash and where it pushes against the rubber boot bellows that goes through the bulkhead (please excuse my ignorance of what this is...master cylinder ?)..where should I apply the grease and gentle heat to let it flow ? thanks again

Cheers guys, I'll have a poke about or just turn the stereo up
