Darn... I was hoping for something back after Honda ripped me off to replace it! Oh well. Thanks anyway Fahad.

Was clearing out the garadge and found my old faulty VSA module that I had replaced. Is it worth selling? Would anyone want this? It is still faulty, I was intending to either get it repaired or look at it myself but don't think I will have the time for this. I had this replaced by Honda about 2...

I didn't see any moisture but I'll have another look... Voltage I can measure... im ***uming I measure it off load (i.e. no bulb connected) Could be vibration, not sure how to check that...? Heat dissipating...again how do I check that? Thanks for the suggestions.

Well last week I drove into work with the lights on... But had to drive home with the fog lights on!! Both left and right bulbs were blown (dipped beam - H1)!! Does that ever happen?!? 2 at once?!? Thats like a few weeks life I got from the last bulb! Ouch. I have now bought a pack of 10 H1...

Thanks all, I didn't realise there were so many other people with a similar problem!! Sorry gents, I get confused... dipped beam, full beam, low beam, main lights, brights!! The ones im talking about are the halfords number 448 or full beam they call it. :blush: No I havent tried an OEM...

Anybody got any ideas for me on this one... Over the last 6 months or so I have gone through 4 headlight bulbs 2 on each side. Now I don't know if they were a bad batch of bulbs from halfords (standards and 90% brighter types are the ones I have tried so far) or if there is something causing...

Just don't make my mistake... saloon pads on an estate!! They don't work too well!! :blush:

And the funny thing... these pads were replaced by a garage! So when I did it myself I compared the pads to what was on the car at the time and stupidly thought that was right... Oh dear. Well pads replaced (with the correct ones now) and did a full service too... man that fuel filter was a...

Okay here is an update... I had the caliper off and I couldn't get it to squeak. I then looked at the caliper / pad alignment and wear... I know I have different wear fron off-side to near-side but I looked again and its also wearing in a wedge shape. So I checked the pads out and found...

aaaaah.... that washer bottle has a detachable section!! You see, I should have tried this in daylight then I might have spotted it. What a twit I am! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! I too spent ages getting my fat hands in positions that it really shouldn't go... Job done at last...

Aaah that just confirms it again... I was speaking to a mechanical engineer at work about it too and he said the same thing! Cheers... Now what make bearing should I go for? Too scared to ask Honda for a price for the part... :unsure: Any suggestions?

Put me down for 2... :) if there is still stock

Hi Andy, Yes the caliper is still on... I will remove the caliper and try the test again... Will let you know how I get on... Yes that video has given me some confidence to tackel this on my own, cheers. Doesn't look too bad to replace. :)

Gear linkage? Please forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong but this play is on the near side rear...no drive on that wheel. Is this play still normal? No I havent done any prying yet. Im thinking more and more that its the bearing... Would it also make sense that this is the wheel that I replaced...

Hi John, Interesting. I have replaced this caliper but that was about 8ooo miles ago... if I dont have anything else I could give it a try but I know replacing seals are a mission... I made that mistake once before! Thanks for the thought.

Here is another video I said I would take of the knocking noise... any thoughts? You may have to turn your sound up to hear it though... http://s1280.photobucket.com/albums/a489/lukerp/?action=view&current=20130924_093730_zpsde973e82.mp4

Hi Eric, Just wondering if you are still interested...Or anyone else really? Was going through the garage and found my old unit...I had mine replaced by Honda a while back. Now its collecting dust, I asked for it back because it was so expensive to replace I didnt want them to make more money...

Hello again, sorry about the delay here is a clip of the squeek... anyone else think its the bearing? The squeek as changed slightly it now only really sounds when reversing but you can hear it when driving but only if the back window is open... its a slight squeek more of a binding sound...

Thanks, yes that will be useful mine has started squeeking every now and again... I need to open it up and lubricate I think. I'll have a look on the DIY forum.

Aaaah now there is a good idea :blush: a pry-bar...just wish I thought of it... I'll have a look. Clearly this is not my day job.
