Don’t suppose you can make these for the ep3’s fog lamps?

Hey folks, final update. New Honda front struts, top mounts and Eibach pro lowering springs fitted by Honda. No more rumbling noise over bumps. Comically they didn’t check the wheel alignment after and said it would be fine! Fortunately I have enough knowledge about cars to know this is bull and...

Yeah I heard that the spring cups could cause issues if not fitted correctly. For this reason I took detailed images of the originals before removal. I'm looking at roughly Christmas time for the new honda parts, no presents for anyone as i'll be bankrupt :smt111

Hey Mike, I'm saving to buy and fit Honda standard front shocks as I believe the Sachs Struts are the source of the rumble. I have literally replaced everything else. Sachs components are clearly rubbish. Once I've fixed the problem i'll post a definitive solution ](*,) sorry I can't be more...

Replaced top mounts! Quick update and advise to avoid Sachs top mounts. Fired new Sachs top mounts on (thought it would be good continuity to keep all sus parts same brand). First test drive knocking noise ten times worse! Couldn’t fathom it out, investigated all bushes and older company’s...

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. Tbh I didn't do the top mounts, I gave them a thorough going over at the time of the change and they looked in good condition. so decided to leave them. Regretting that decision now :( I'll replace the top mounts and see if that does the trick, if not i'll put...

Hi Stu, I have just found myself in this very same position. Thought i'd freshen up the suspension so went with sachs springs n shocks all round. I did drop links all round at the same time. Now i have this crappy little rumble/knocking from the front passenger side at low speed from bumps. So I...

What was the verdict for the MOT? I’m no closer to finishing a solution. The DC5 option is interesting though, do you know of that working?

Hi folks, Having a bit of a nightmare with the rear brake calipers on my ep3. A few years back I refurbished fronts and rears (new seals n pistons), as they deteriorated again I splashed out on a Tarox front brake kit (fronts have been outstanding since). Recently the rears started to bind...

If u don't have an air gun, free the caliper but leave the brake lines attached and remove pads. Pumping the brake peddle will pop the piston out. Be ready for lots of brake fluid spewing out when the piston comes out. Do both at the same time ;)

Outstanding! Thanks man

Hi, I too have the paddling pool feature in the boot. How did you remove the trim in the gutter area of the roof? Don't want to force it n brake something. Anyone addvice welcome.

BOOM! Completed the overhaul of both my front calipers! Brakes feel way better. If anyone is thinking of doing this you'll need a service kit which as kreddie said you can find on ebay. Also I found my Honda workshop manual extremely useful-this too can be found on ebay. If anyone needs any...

Thanks man, was hoping I would get away with just replacing may pads and discs but sadly after completing the job the brakes are still rubbing!:@ Two service kits ordered, will post result. P.S. What fluid did you use when bleeding your brakes?
