Hi there, My 2007 fk2 5 door failed its MOT this week, and after investigation, the warning lights had been hacked off the instrument panel. :( After a faff disassembling the various needles from the panel, I found and soldered original VSA and ABS LEDs back to the PCB. Naturally, the ABS & VSA...

Hi guys, So I've just had to put a new set of front discs and pads on my fn2 as my old ones were warped. Properly annoyed as the 15k mile pads were still basically new, thicker than the pagids I just put on. Anyway, I took the caliper carriers out wire wheeled the life out of them to get them...

Just replaced front and rear brake pads at the garage ( i provided the parts) as i felt the car brakes weren't too sensitive at high speeds, after fitting them they said the discs should be replaced too ( newbie mistake :( ) as it's lipped and can cause squeaking going forwards.. they quoted me...

Hi, I have an FN model (1.4 petrol) and recently ABS is being engaged even when not braking hard and it seems it is getting worse. Also when this happens the brake pedal goes further down (like it sinks further in). I have no warning lights. Any idea of what this could be before taking it to the...

So in my absolute incompetence while changing front calipers I managed to fail to properly plug the lines and got called to work leaving one dripping out over night. Come morning calipers on, whole car bled as per the Honda workshop manual '2 person' method' after filling up and gravity bleeding...

Hi guys, I've noticed my fn2 pulls to the left when braking fairly hard. Not noticed it when braking gently but when over about 1/2 the pedal travel it pulls. The steering wheel doesn't move at all. The pull would be enough to make me change lanes if braking from 50-60 and I didn't counter...

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before I have just joined. I have an 07 plate honda civic and the rear brake dust shields have rusted so bad they are just crumbling when I touch them. I can't seem to find replacements anywhere, are these necessary for when I change the brake discs and...

So I recently upgraded from my ancient Ford Fiesta to 2011 Honda Civic Type S 1.4. I wanted an upgrade, something with more kick but still economical. Unfortunately I'm not a petrol head or mechanic, I wish I was. I purchased it from an independent dealer, someone who I half know. Very good...

Hi All Hope everyone is safe and well at this strange time! The missus has a 2008 civic and I did read the sticky on removing stones from the brakes but is there a way to get stones out without removing the wheel or disc? It's making a hell of a racket! I have already jacked one side up...

At almost 10 years old my car had its first repair today. My wife has been using the car most of the year as I was enjoying my E Class prior to mid-March and WFH. Anyway a few weeks ago she came home and advised me of a burning smell and heat at the back wheel. By the time I got out to it no...

Hello. I haven't been out much in the Civic lately. Not much need to what with working at home etc. But on a trip to the grocery shop I noticed the rear brakes were squealing, so with a sunny weekend I thought I'd take a peek. Right side had one completely worn pad. turned out to be that the...

Pads need changed all round, got them and I’m getting fed up waiting on my cousin (who’s a mechanic) getting back to me about when he’s free to do them. Read that you need a windback tool for the rear caliper piston although there’s videos on how to do it without the tool. Also that you have...

Hey. I have 2012 White Civic 1,6 Diesel 130000km. Just found out the paint work is full of scratches and dents most likely from the brakes. Anyone with the same experience? Mads
