Pinkie, just bought mine and was thinking that rylands in warrington would be doing the servicing guess I'll be thinking again !!!

That really is complete negligence .

 

Sweet Jesus...talk about dealer incompetence .

I'd ask for all my servicing money back for starters else threaten Honda UK contact or Top Gear etc!!!!!!

 

Could you argue that this technical defect, the fault of the supplying dealer, caused you to exceed the advertised speed limit I wonder?

Pinkie,

you're sooooo lucky not to have lost it with that(those) spacer(s) in your springs.... doh!



Methinks, a huge, and I mean huuuge,

 

Thanks for all your advice peeps I have decided to take the offending "alien" into the dealer tomorrow and kick off, car not booked in til tuesday but what the hell I am seriously worried and shall demand they put it on the ramp there and then so i cna show em the wear on the inner rims too and exactly where I found it, which, scarily enough, is exactly like the picture Tonky posted!! Defo not one in the right front but dont know about me rears. Anyway shall let you know how I get on..neglicence..I like!! Oh and I will get them to obtain the PDI from Warrington too!!

BTW I drove her to the farm and back today and she much sweeter, wierd innit!

 

Can't believe you've been driving around on it all this time and you've not had a crash. Definately a very scary thought.

Let us know what goes on ..


p.s better just check mine :Paranoia:

 

it's funny I was thinking how big a gap I've got with my rears when I washing her this weekend.....might have a shufty in the arches at the weekend.....

I've put the rock hard ride down to the car....maybe I've got spacers in there?

 

OK really REALLY not happy the dealer couldnt really have cared less saying its not at all dangerous and wont do any long term damage. Even when I pointed out that the suspension will not be even at the front after 32500 miles and under hard braking could pull to the right, he just smiled at me I asked them to check with Honda UK and when I chased them 5 mins ago they said that Honda said it wont do any damage and not to worry. When I said that I disagree and am uncomfortable with the car now, he just said that Honda said it was ok so I am left with a car that I do not now trust if I push it and diddly squat. I have not had time today to pen a letter to Honda as am steeped in work and am now not sure I will get anywhere with them nw anyway :sigh: :nothappy:

 

Sounds like a very familiar situation, Jaq....... It's ultimately what made me decide to p/x the 02 for the 04.

I very much doubt whether a letter to Honda UK will actually get you anywhere, but I think you should write and send it anyway.
