Sounds like the gearbox knock is normal then, that's good, thanks.

AEM V2 is always popular with Hondas, but I always worry about hydro-lock with those kits... Has that been an issue with the s2k?

Just don't drive through rivers and you'll be fine
Keep an eye on the For Sale forum too - there's been an "as new" PRM for £150 recently (it did go within about 11 mins of it being posted though) there's also been an AEM v1 up for a while from UncleFester I think , but I think that's recently gone too.

Will keep an eye out for a second hand one though if its in good nick. Would love a password intake though!

Honda have confirmed the noise is from the diff.... Diff and gearbox oil is getting changed and checked for debris. Hopefully that will cure it! If that what's my next step? Another diff or can it be stripped cost effectively?

I thought it would be the diff. Easy solution - source a replacement diff and install. Not so easy solution - take yours off and service it. Either way make sure you flush the diff prior to install. Have Honda stated the course or the problem. Or have they just advised on an oil change?

With regards to the AEM V2, I haven't seen anyone post on here saying they hydro-locked their engines with one of them fitted. To be fair though, when I get a proper aftermarket intake, I'll probably get a K&N FIPK because it would fit my carbon fibre cooling plate well.
