Honda Civic 1.0 SR - First impressions 9 May 2019 (Forum)
Technically I am disappointed that the 1.0 is a cam belt in oil with a 65k change interval.bNo issue to the fleets but a cost for those of us who run to higher miles. The electronic parking brake is not intuitive in manual mode. You can only apply and release it with the foot brake engaged. So setting off requires you to treat the driver behind to a blast of brake light, and then manually release the button. -

Honda Civic 2017 - Warning Lights Pinging on Startup 31 Mar 2023 (Forum)
When I put the key in the ignition and switch it to the on position I regularly see the Deflation Warning Light flashing and then pinging followed by pings for the City Brake Assist (CTBA), the VSA, and the ABS. These warning lights stay illuminated on the dash during that driving session but the car runs perfectly and all braking-related functions are fine This only seems to happen when the car has been driven and warmed up and rarely, if ever, when starting from cold at the start of the day. -

Hyundai i40 Tourer - Car Noises at slow speed 6 Jul 2021 (Forum)
Hi all, I’m after a bit of advice if you can, I have a Hyundai i40 Tourer, March 2015 plate, 75k on the clock, Just lately when driving at slow speeds I hear a squeaking sound, sounds a bit like the brakes do when they need replacing but it’s not when I’m braking it’s noticeable when moving off at slow speed or even letting the car slow on its own (rolling up to light/junction etc) alongside this I’ve also noticed it feels wobbly/vibration up through the steering column when going over bumps or simply an a road which isn’t totally flat , seems worse when slowing down on a decline, I had the steering column replaced this time last year due to a knocking noise when turning the steering wheel (it is making the same noise again) if I turn the wheel when stationary left and right it’s making a clicking/knocking noise (I don’t know much about cars so don’t know if that’s normal etc) Overall it just feels different to drive at the moment (I don’t think I’m over thinking it) :) Feel like I would like to get a rough idea what it could be before I go to the garage as I saw on a Hyundai Facebook group someone had some Vibration and it’s been back and forth to a garage and cost him £690 so far replacing bits and he still has the issue, would like to avoid that if possible.
