True, but it would probably be another >MY09 engine...

Was there ever a definitive response from HUK on this issue?

Not true, apparently.

Asmat, send a PM to Aqulia Eagle https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/user/18211-aquilaeagle/ He will be able to point you in the right direction with Honda UK if needs be. But, as others have said, your first port of call is with the selling dealer.

I would suggest to download a youtube video first for us to hear the knocking noise. It might be something loose in the engine bay like the manifold heatshield or something else. This would be better i suggest before you take it to the dealer

Asmat, I don't know if that's rotten luck - or good luck, in a way.

Honda seems to be dealing with it on a case-by-case basis. Soooo, you can either reject the car, or see what sort of warranty you are offered on the new engine.

It's a pity you didn't find this site earlier, though.
