Just wanna check with u guys, HM didnt provide those essential tools such as screwdriver & etc, I only got the carjack, & tyre nut opener ni!

BTW, auto door lock also ignore huh!

Thank pal, any idea where 2 get de speed detector 4 door lock. Y do Honda ignore such safety feature ?

luckily i read this thread, i tot i got ripped off by my SA for not getting a tool kit with my civic..

One more suggestion.

Upon reaching home with your new FD, remove all floor mats and the panel covering the spare tyre. Ensure all windows are wound up.

Have someone sit inside the car.
Using a high pressure garden spray, shoot the entire car with a strong jet of water. Once done, look and touch the carpets inside to see if there's any dampness. Check the spare tyre well for any accumulated water.

I've encountered 1 FD in my shop once with water leakage problem and it was traced to the rear window seal.

thanks KelvinW. i also used this c/list. very useful. on top of that, based on members' feedbacks, i also run thru the following to ensure the car doesn't have :

Steering
1) Steering (car stationary with engine running) - When turn slightly faster than normal frm left to right, kruk! Kruk! Sound coming frm steering.
2) Steering (car moving) - When reaching a corner, turn steering wheel slightly faster than normal either to the left or right, kruk! one time. Sound is frm outside (undercarrige)
3) Krek2 sound when over the hump and also like loosen absorber when over the zebra line b4 traffic light...sound like krukk kruukk.
4) When you turn your steering, it sound "tik-tik-tik" will come out. It is obvious especially during parking.It just sound like when drive shaft kaput.

Suspension
1) Metal hitting sound from front suspension.
2) Keekee sound coming from the undercarriage when car is in D or R mode (park your car, step on brake and engage D or R) wind down your window -cat con

Wiper
1) wiper produces noise a highest speed level, due banged to side of screen
2) wiper jerking

The checklist proof to be very useful. However due to the excitement of getting the car, didn't manage to go through the entire checklist b4 going vrooom

However, its so far so good, fingers crossed.

I also thought the SA ripped me off by saying the car does not come with a tool kit until I read this tread

However, the tools holder that was on placed on top of the spare tyre is not completely filled up. Am I missing something Jump start cable or tyre pressure gauge maybe

thank you for the checklist.

i feel so much better already! thank you.

Beside the triangle and flares, this is what I got: -



Is that all What's with the 3 empty compartments
