    I have a 2007 Civic. Here is a picture of the RF Backing Plate. I originally brought it in to check on a noise that happened to be a loose shield on the LF backing plate. That can be removed pretty easily but they are also recommending completely replacing both knuckles, which cost $950 each and...

    Hey. Had a PGM-FI warning come up yesterday. The only thing I changed was LED tail/brake lights. Put the old bulbs back and tried the reset procedure in the manual but it doesn't work. Anyone know how to reset it? The reset procedure is apparently done by turning the engine on and off at 30...

    Hey, I'm new and was just hoping one of you can help me, I have a 56 2.2 I-cdti civic and I have a grinding noise when I brake sometimes, but the brakes and disks look like they got plenty of life left in them, and another thing is there's a screeching sometimes when I drive coming from the...

    I am still not happy with my brakes. And that is after EBC Ultimax discs, YellowStuff pads, HKS braided lines and uprated fluid. My pedal still feels like its made of butter after a few hard brakings. Is it the master cylinder or is it the size of the discs? 282mm std. Or even maybe a pad that...

    Honda Civic 2008 bought recently. I’m getting a clicking noise (same sound as when clicking a computer mouse but amplified X1000) at sudden braking and sudden pull out.

    i double checked my admiral insurance policy for changing my oem honda disc and pads to ebc turbogroove and green stuff pads. it will cost me extra 14.84 to add to my policy, is this normal guys? you would think they would charge less for putting better brakes on the car :confused:.
  16. Buying, Dealers and Servicing
    Ok, just put my car in today for a service after I have done about 10k miles in just over 6 months since I bought my 09 2.2 es civic from them. They said the rear brake disc had corroded and needed replacing and that would be £195 for the parts (no pads). Does this seem a little pricey? Could...
