Jenson
 

Saturday afternoon was perfect for a topless :drive: so I got Jenson out and went for a bit of :vtec: action to raise a smile. Changing from 3rd to 4th gear at just on 8,000RPM I heard a funny pop and Jenson didn't sound well at all. I took him home. :cry:

On Sunday, I got a mate to have a listen and we agreed it sounded like an exhaust-related complaint. So I drove the 92 miles to work today with a VERY noisy car and a radio which got ever louder.

By the time I got to Swindon, Jenson sounded awful so I got a mechanic to have a look and listen. His verdict: That's not exhaust - it's either transmission or engine! :cry: :brokehrt:

Cue Gaxxy & the team from Honda Assist - and the FABULOUS Bob from the AA :tipwink: who reckons it could be transmission as the very loud grinding is louder when in gear or could it be valves as there seems to be a blowback through the airbox.

So anyway, Jenson has gone on a journey...all the way back to Bristol Honda to be fixed. :cry:

But this'll make you smile! What did I get as a fair exchange for my S? A purple Nissan Micra - thanks to the comedian at the Oxford meet who carded it tonight! :D

Jenson goes walkabout...without me :(

Oh dear ,another 09 fails :(, not good .

Hope they get it sorted soon. :)

awwwww!

poor bokkie! (and of course Jenson). Narrowly missed the meet, due to being forced to attend an evening works reception, so no opportunity for banter :(

Where are you working in Swindon? ...The landscaping in the background looks familiar...

So sorry to hear that Bokkie.

What is going on with these later cars?

:crycry:

You can always pop in with the Micra for a cuppa :chums:

Are these MY09 made by Reno or what?!!! :D

I hope it gets sorted quickly and to your satisfaction.

:iagree: It's like they've given up making them properly as it was the end of the line :confused:



Sorry to hear it Trish :( fingers crossed for a quick fix :kiss:

:( That sucks balls.

On the other hand, Jenson is probably pleased to have had the opportunity to be driven at a bit of pace for once. ;)

Fingers crossed for a quick fix. :fingerscrossed:

Terrible news mate, hope it gets sorted soon. :fingerscrossed:

Bristol Honda's workshop must look like a meet carpark at the moment :thumbdn:

Sorry to hear about your car and hope Honda can fix it for you :)

However I'm a little surprised you decided to drive it all the way to Swindon before having it fully checked out by the garage. If in doubt get a mechanic to take a look.
