Default Back on the road

well it has been a few weeks maybe even months, but yesterday I got to go out in the S2k. The noise from the O/S/R turned out to be bearing and this had worn the hub and cost lots of money. I had been putting off getting it repaired and thinking of selling up, but after 100 miles of fun I'm keeping it. There's nothing else about that offers such value for money.

Have to agree there. I keep looking around but it's hard to find anything that ticks all the same boxes.

Same, that plus the fact that it's lost half its value over the last 2 years means it'll stay with me forever

I had exactly the same issue, back left/near side. Took three attempts at Honda to solve - was intermittent, so couldn't reliably reproduce. Done under warranty though.
These 08/09 cars aren't exactly well made......?
