I've just taken my car in (As its still under extended Warrenty from the dealership). My problems were as follow's (The Car is still at the Garage);
Suspension / nearside dash / near side front wing
Clicking noise, seems to be coming from the nearside suspension, although I can’t pin point where the noise is coming from, I’ve done some research, with a mixed response. Some say that this could be a bush? CV joint needs lubricating, or also, and the more likely is the Body Seem needs separating? This could also be a Build up of dirt between the two sections of the vehicle sub frame. This causes the two sections to ‘stick-slip’ under the application of braking or acceleration forces / bumps in the road.
Honda Response:
Can't recreate the noise... No problem / no cure.
High pitch, vibration when hitting the end of the V tec (7,000 RPM) / Passenger window
Owning many Type R’s, I am aware of the noise that they produce while hitting the VTEC. The noise in my car has altered over the past month or 2, and now makes a louder vibrating noise in 3rd when hitting the vtec at around 7,000 RPM (just before you change gear). It sounds like something is vibrating near the passengers window.

Clutch Noise
There is a noise coming from the clutch, only when at biting point in 1st gear (2-3mph). This can really be heard best going at very low speeds, with the clutch held at a biting point. Defo a Chewbacca type Noise, maybe slightly worse when cold, but I am positive it happens even when warm.
Honda Response:
Honda UK are aware of the problem, but no Fix available? My question is: How long does it take to create a fix? If a fix becomes available, after my Warrenty has expired, then what rights have I got to get my Clutch sorted with the Fix?
Locating 3rd Gear from Cold / Gear Pop’s out.
Quite often, the gear will pop out of gear, just as I have changed into 3rd, occasionally grinds.
Honda Response:
Can't recreate the problem... No problem / no cure. (Although I am fairly certain this is a common fault, The transmission has a faulty 3rd gear synchronizer or 3-4 shift sleeve. CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the 3rd gear set. Failed Part: P/N 23444-PNS-306 H/C 7407042 Defect Code: 03214 Symptom Code: 04101
Can anyone help with anything that I can give to the dealer to try and correct these problem. Most of the problems are noise related, and don't happen every time I sit in the car (Apart from the clutch and vibration noise). Do they have to recreate the problem in the Garage, can they not just go on what I have told them?
HELP PLEASE!
