Genuine Honda drop links fitted to both sides at the front this weekend. Car is driving perfect now :) Hoping for a refund on the ebay ones.

Well I had to service the car this weekend so while I was doing that I decided to have a look into the clunking problem too. Inspected all bushes - all looked very good. With both front wheels jacked off the ground got the wife to steer from lock to lock - no clunking, no movement from top...

Fitted the ebay o/s drop link today. Old one was fine movement wise but having 4 of the 8 plastic pins snapped it was on it's way out. Anyway thoroughly moved the new ebay jobbie before fitting it, sure it was stiffer than the old Honda one but I can't imagaine that it is causing such a clunk...

Just been to the dealer and the finger was first pointed at the "non genuine" front n/s drop link and if it isn't that then they said it will be the steering rack! I was quoted £1600 for that! It's a 2005 54 plate facelift, I thought the racks were good on those? I'd much prefer it to be an...

Should a problem with 2nd gear be on this list? Making changing from 1st to 2nd quite hard. I had my 5-6 synchro replaced (£££) when the DC5 LSD was dropped in. Really wish I had the 1-2 synchro changed as well. Also drop links seem to fail on every car, front and rear.

Thanks for the replies guys. It seems to have gotten a bit worse I'm sure I can feel the click go through the whole car now. I could do top mounts myself but not sure about engine mounts. Since I have no idea what it actually is I've booked in at the dealer tomorrow. On the phone they said...

I've got what sounds like a nasty clunking coming from the front end N/S or centre. At first I thought it sounded like some sort of very bad transmission slap / backlash but I've heard it when coasting with the clutch dipped . . . The sound appears when going over bumps at low speed /...

Who can fit an LSD - Stoke or Nearby? Any suggestions please people?

Thanks for the links, they are great. £374 for the OEM parts sounds steep though, when aftermarket is a lot less.

£200 doesn't sound too bad. For an EP3 is it possible to buy the bits from Honda and DIY?

Hi Guys, What are the options for retro fitting reversing parking sensors to a civic EP3? OEM or aftermarket? I could measure up a civic bumper that had them from the factory to get the right look, but are the OEM parts available from Honda? Thanks
