Right,

Car starting to annoy me now. Definitely something not feeling quite right with it. Latest is a noise that started to come from the back of the car the other morning on the way into work. Stopped after 5 seconds but was a bit odd. When rolling along in traffic as well, it feels almost like the car has the handbrake slightly on

Damo..

I put up that problem on a seperate topic..More likely to get a lot more views than an irish thread...

Im sure that someone has encountered that sort of problem or knows of it...There seems to be very little stuff on here that people havent encountered before...

Excellent, a Paddy's thread!

For the gang in Cork, who do you use to service your cars? I'm using main Honda dealer Johnson & Perrott in Mahon Point. Have got to the guys in service very well, too well! I've paid for a lot of bonuses there over the past two years.

Thing is I have decided that i want to keep my car long term but I put up a lot of miles and was looking to see if any of you knew of a Honda mechanic or specialist that would work on an S2000.

It's booked in for a service tomorrow with JPMG and I'm having them replace the roof seals which were perished (have taken nearly 3 weeks to order by the way, why does EVERYTHING take so long to order for this car?!), and also to run a diagnostic on my O2 sensor which I reckon is buggered as I am having the stalling and low idle problems allied to drastically reduced fuel consumption.

At the moment I reckon the clutch is on the way out. Any recommendations there?

Then I spit my rear screen at the weekend but have seen philss2000's report on this on importing a new roof from the US.

Any recommendations appreciated! Thanks.

Good point! :pat: I'm based in Dublin but will have the car down in Cork the week after Paddy's Day as well.

Put the post up here simply to find a garage recommendation. Had started another post in the main section re: the problems I was having. Most had put it down to tyres but I think it might be something more serious at this stage.

I was home for the weekend and saw my 2nd ever S in Ireland.

Silverstone in Rathmines.....

Bloody traffic in Dublin hardly gets above 20mph, we had to take our hire car up to Kippure to thrash the bejaysus out of it.

3.0 diesel Range Rover Sport and we had it airborn :)...sorry Mr Hertz

Guinness and Tayto cheese and onion crisps - you boys don't know how lucky you are !!
