Happy New Year Everyone!

Well, after the Christmas and New Year hols, I am pleased to be back in JP and get away from turkey curry, turkey sandwiches and bad jumpers.
I had to put the car problem on hold as I had to return to the UK.

As soon as I was able to, I took the car out for a bit of town driving. I wanted to do this to be sure that the problem was still there because I had an appointment at the dealers that very same week.

To my surprise, the problem had disappeared. I tried my best to make the symptoms return but to no avail. I had so much fun I piled on 200 km on the highway too. I still went back to the dealer last Sunday to explain what happened and they spent a good two hours with me trying to work out what happened. There was no firm conclusion (especially with language problems) and I was a little frustrated because the lack of concrete answers.

However, I am very grateful to the Honda Verno staff who took their time to help me and thanks to all those respondents on this subject.

FYI: Shaken (from memory)
JPY 170,000 (includes oil and other consumables).
Others: Steering Re-alignment, tracking, 4 new Potenza's S02 and extended two year "warranty". This pushed the total to JPY 220,000.
Ouch.

 

Vincent,

Don't you have a 2000 model? I thought that the Shaken was after 3 years ?? What was the registration date of yours ??

 

Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu James-san!
Been to any skijos yet?

I stand corrected James The registration date was Dec 1999.
When is yours due? Will you take it to a Honda dealer or some other garage?

 

Thanks Vincent - first ski trip planned for Feb 1st ..... many other plans for January .....

My Shaken is due in August I think .... better check I guess. I will take it to the Honda Verno next to my office .... may be more expensive but it is SOOOOO much easier !!! It's only money at the end of the day
