My '99 reg car also sailed through it's MOT and service at the Honda dealer on 149k miles yesterday

Only advisories were wear to the brakes and tyres, so no problems then - I'm trying to wear them out !

very happy bunny

I think S2000 have a good success rate with passing MOT's first time. Honest John maybe has stats on this, not sure.

This months WhatCar? magazine has a big reliability survey in it that the S2000 didn't do so perfect at. I think the car has a 33% rate of failure. Brakes were most common with a 75% failure rate.

I remember when i first bought my first S2000 and met you and Adrian in cumbria, and then never managed to find the group due to an accident haha.

Morning Pete, long time and all that.

Been stupidly busy mate, work, houses, cars and snowboarding. (also the demographic on here has slid a bit )

Never been to a cumbria meet though?


Oh and a 99k (or Honda 12 service) is going to be £115 with me supplying the oil.
