Hi all, Been using these forums for years, and I’m back after some time - such a great resource. I have a question. I bought a new Kenwood DDX9019DABs headunit as I wanted to have wireless CarPlay. I’d installed head units in previous Honda’s so I more or less knew what to do. Everything was...

Interesting, sounds similar to mine. Its like a faint whine or wurrrrr for prob a second - I'll only notice it in 1st or 2nd year from low speed takeoffs. Thing is, I'm not sure exactly how to test the clutch for wear but 38K couldn't be needing replacing esp given I've had the new since new and...

Hi all, Have a 2010 CTR with 37K on the clock (its compliance plate is 07/2011 and I bought brand new so really 5 years old). Anyway, about 2-3 months ago I started to hear a whining noise as I released the clutch from a stationary start (as well as sometimes in gear two from low speed take...

Thanks Loxy soz for the delay. You're a walking encyclopedia on CTRs mate. I will look into that re suspension tuning, Pedders aren't Honda specialists perhaps I should ask the dealership who they might recommend. I need to replace the front tyres soon so would do the tuning after that (rear...

Thanks Loxy & S2KIP for the info, super interesting stuff. I don't break hard often at all, but definitely do drive aggressively / spirited (why own a CTR otherwise?!). That includes a lot of driving hard through corners or twisted roads, where VSA would no doubt work overtime. I've only seen...

Yeh it does & basically never been turned off

Hi all, Had my 2011 Civic Type R from new and absolutely loved it. Put it in for the 40K service today and was told I need new rotors on the rear as well as new rear brake pads. The rotors especially were surprising as I've only done 32K and I rarely brake hard - I'm pretty smooth with using...

Hi stu thx for reply. I've owned the car from brand new so the bulbs weren't changed. Not sure if you or others would know but these are the part no's of the headlamps per the estimate I got a copy of: Left 33151SMGE01 Right 33101SMGE01 They definitely feel replaced as the plastic is grime...

Thanks mate. Du mean didn't replace hl unit & only couple of bulbs re ur first paragraph? I def noticed both feel very clean & new if I run my hand on the plastic of the headlight, exactly what you say re basically grime free. So wonder why one has orange bulbs and one the silver type? Also...

Hi Loxy, can remember messaging you a few years back! Thx for the reply. Re the repair, the estimate I got a copy of had quoted that both headlamps be replaced (as in the whole headlamp assembly piece). So this would make it seem like the left might have been kept as is & only the right one...

Hi all, Have followed this forum for years and think it's fantastic. I've had a 2010 Milano Red FN2 CTR from new and love it. Had a low speed front accident a few weeks ago that has now been repaired. But two things I've noticed - the left headlamp has orange indicator bulbs yet the right has...

Does anyone also have this - i.e. from getting in and out, slight 'scuff' marks on the lower left of the door? I've noticed quite a few now and am wondering what the best product would be to remove them? I'm yet to use any sort of protectant on the doors - does anyone put anything on them and...

(pushing it in meaning around 3/4 way down to floor the clunk comes, but I keep pushing it to floor - don't only push it to 3/4)

Interesting timing... I put my car in to have the EGR port plate gasket replaced (Loxy you'll be smiling!). Now a couple of days later, I'm noticing a clunk like noise when I press the clutch pedal in. From looking down there, it *seems* the noise is coming from just behind the actual pedal...

Loxy and Cheempeej - embarrased to admit but it must have been the flat battery re headlights (which I just 100% forgot about) and obviously the trip computer has some fail safe setting where if it loses trip A's average mph it just uses B's (but then wasn't B's also erased... and surely all the...
