Hi all, I had my rear pads replaced a few weeks ago by the local Honda dealers, all was well immediately after that as far as I could tell. Last week I noticed (all of a sudden), the handbrake lever had excessive play and i had to pull it up much higher than usual. I also noticed a slight...

The front lines have definitely been bled now. Still spongy. My money's on air in the ABS modulator, as that was the unit that had been replaced when this problem started. Metis.... the m/cyl was replaced with a brand new genuine Honda part (at £350). So I don't think it's that, unless both the...

Having had a long chat with the old man about it, he said that the front bleed nipples were a bit rusty, which suggests that they hadn't been touched for quite a while! He did try a vacuum bleeder but couldn't get a good seal around the bleed nipples, probably because of the rust. I'm going to...

I'll resurrect this thread rather than creating a new one for the same topic ... :-) I had my ABS unit replaced with a recon unit a few weeks ago, due to the dreaded VSA 66-1 error code. This fixed the electronic error, but unfortunately it also introduced a spongy brake pedal with excessive...

Plymouth to Leicester, cruise control on at 70mph. Probably helped a bit by the prevailing south-westerly winds!

A picture paints a thousand words:

haha, sorry about the confusion! it's none of the above. it's the unit below the radio, with a large door that opens in a garage door style.

Hi Paul. Not sure which clip you're referring to? Does your door open nice and gently, or does it open with a small thud? I have taken the unit out again for a closer inspection. As far as i can tell, the door moulding incorporates a toothed plastic arc on the left side; as the door rotates...

does the door of your centre console bin open nice and slowly, or does it open so fast that it makes a little thud which makes everything inside it jump? i had to take my bin out recently to fit the Xcarlink, and it now the door opens with a thud, but i can't remember if it did that before i...

Also do not rest your foot anywhere near the clutch pedal. The clutch pedal switch is very sensitive. I made this mistake when test driving my car and surprisingly the cruise control didn't work! :rolleyes:

Cheers chaps, that puts my mind at rest! I'll get it serviced soon, including fuel and oil filters and decent 0/30 oil. The remap will likely follow soon after, as I find the lag a nuisance. You have to anticipate a lot and put your foot down a second before you need the power. Means I have to...

Hi guys. Now that I've had a few days to get to know my car, I've noticed a few things about it that are bothering me a bit. Firstly, the steering wheel isn't central, the car pulls to the left a bit, and it sometimes pulls to one side under hard braking. Could all these issues be fixed by...
