Likely to be the secondary shaft bearing in the gearbox.

I guess you can hear it more next to concrete barriers and walls?

oh right, that hasnt popped up in my searches.
its coming from the near side rear so that surely wont be a gearbox issue?

I can hear it next to walls better yes but the sound seems to be in line with wheel rotation.

Will tighten the axel bolts today and see if there is any improvement as it seems to be a fairly simple fix so it makes sense to start with that I guess.

Honda want £160 to do an oil change...

which is obviously the most ridiculous thing ever.

At this point, is it worth keeping the FHSH or should I just find a decent garage to do it.

I would do it myself but mindful that a stamp on the book is going to impact the value of the car somewhat.

what do?

Poppy · 10 Mar 2016 at 12:10

Personally i'd do it myself.

Keep hold of the receipt / invoice for the oil / filter cost and bang it in the service history. Decent oil and filter will cost £50 ish.

rjk · 10 Mar 2016 at 12:13

im well aware of that, but would it impact the value of the car significantly is what i want to know.

I'd get it done because of the way the s2k market is going. It's a two seater roaster that old dodders will want in years to come, FSH will be preferential for them and it's only £160.

rjk · 10 Mar 2016 at 12:35

that was my train of thought. I'm going to call the Jaguar/Sports car specialist where Gibbo takes his cars and see what they quote. Its only an oil change.

What service is it

Get an independent garage local to Honda to quote you (£100 or so?), then price match.

the 60k one I think?
last year was the major one that cost loads of money.

this one is just an oil change going off the service schedule on s2ki

You'll never be forgive for a snapchat picture :confused:

Muffin` · 13 Mar 2016 at 19:35

DC2 update lads

Brockoli · 13 Mar 2016 at 20:08

Might be thinking of getting a FD2 over summer, hopefully a fresh import, is there anything that I should be watching out for if I do get one

Illusion · 13 Mar 2016 at 21:27

The extortionate prices they demand?

Vita · 13 Mar 2016 at 21:39

Muffin what's with the weird mileage on mot's. Is it because of the previous engine going pop?

Muffin` · 13 Mar 2016 at 22:04

the cluster died, so i replaced it and kept the old one for the next owner

Vita · 13 Mar 2016 at 22:09

Was going to ask that next.
