Thanks guys, I have written to the warranty company in the first instance, but I think i will contact Honda in slough as well. Does anyone have a contact of someone who can get the ball rolling from within Honda?

Mark B The car was and has always been an S2ki club car originally owned by Tiffossi Red, who by all accounts was more anal than me 
Anyway, for what it is worth, you are absolutely right about Chris taking exceptionally good care of the car whilst he owned it. And he was very aware of the oil issue. Indeed he posted about how gobsmaked he was when he picked the car up, brand new from a Honda main agent, and the salesman told him there was no need to check the oil between services
.Good luck with the claim. In my experience, perserverence and a very clear paper trail are the best way to 'turn' the Honda UK claims dept.

Wayne,
Just a reminder based on the chat we had on the phone.
should be able to find some free time some time around the 27th or 28th to have a look at the engine. Actually they would be perfect days thinking about it.
I should be able to get some parts back to work with me and get them on the measuring machines. I should be able to give a visual assessment of wear on the 2nd/Napier ring but I'll be able to get a contour trace of the ring profile which will give some definative wear results. If you speak to them ask if you can get a brand new ring because then I can get a new vs old comparison.
The Oil rings sticking is plausable but if they're turning freely in the grooves then I can't see that having been a problem. Can't tell from descriptions above what the bore wear is like.
Might even have a secret weapon in my arsenal (if I can get hold of him )
Speak to you tomorrow
