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...

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...

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 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...

Hi all, (on my FN2) Just noticed something weird the other day - both my trip A and B are showing the identical average fuel consumption. I've set A to reset when I refuel and it's worked fine (B is the total kms from when I picked it up). But just the last few days both are showing the same...

Hi all, Well I've done a bit of research and Milano Red (the colour of my new Type R bought last Oct) is an "interesting" colour to say the least - I've read that it fades quite easily and nothing can be done because its under clear, BUT then I've read its a tricoat paint whereby there is a...

Hi all, I bought my Civic Type R brand new here in Australia last Oct - the car has a build date of July 2010 but interestingly the compliance-plate date is July 2011 (VIN is SHHFN2360AU100284). I've previously had a 95 Integra VTi-R and its build date was June 95, complianced in December (6...

Hi all, Have seen this orange (almost rusty) looking subtance under a part in the engine bay - see the picture below - is this normal on Civics? I bought my car brand new about 4 months ago so was wondering if its like on all FN2s. Is it some sort of sealant maybe or? I'm not even sure what...

Hi all, Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'm struggling to see the level of the coolant reservoir bottle - its so far down into the engine bay. Surely people don't remove the black plastic cover along the front of the bay each time? I can just see the "MAX" letters, but definitely can't see...

Hi all, Am after some advice on how best to repair two paint 'chips' that happened the other day - I'm kicking myself how it happened. I bought the Civic Type R (brand new) back in October and still have my Integra VTi-R which I'm in the process of getting ready to sell. Anyway I came back...
