I Have been having a droning noise from the rear passenger side wheel I am still under warranty but the dealer said to go to a garage first to check for an obvious problem because they would charge if it turns out to not be a manufacturing fault.
I did as they said and they guy at the small independent garage said the rear tyre is bumpy on the inside which is probably due to excessive heat, and he said I need a new tyre??? I sating perhaps the bleeding obvious asked what could be causing the heat before I purchase a new tyre to subject it to the same fate!!!
He jacked up the rear and spun the wheel and it didnt do a full turn and was scratchy, he then said there was either a warpped disc or a stuck caliper, I called the dealer who said I would still have to take it in and if the caliper was jammed via a manufacturing fault they would replace it if anything elsew they would charge me and also 72 quid for diagnosing the fault, what a flaming cheek, HONDA flaming happiness bejesus I traded in my accord 55 plate ex estate with 150 k on it which drove like new I wish I hadnt bothered now!!!
:blush:
any suggestions should I just try and get it clened out as I had a quick look at the faults section but a bit ensure still?
My father had a similar fault on his car (VW) and they blasted the disc and pads with air?
comments very much appreciated cos ive got to get this sorted
