[B]S2000RJ...i read through your post and i asked my wife about some of your points (shes american).
its here experience (albeit only having driven automatics) that the e-brake is hardly ever used in everyday driving in the states.

thanks S2000RJ...thatts exactly what happened apparently...they did tighten it and it seems fine now....just hope it was a one off freak occurence thats all!!

That's what I thought. So if it was badly adjusted, and could not hold the car, it was a fault. Nothing too unusual, although not to be expected on a new car. It's a check and adjust on PDI and every service. Why the b.s. about the heat? I think we need a separate forum on this board What the dealer told me It could certainly keep Honda amused

lmao...should be more like a NAME THEM AND SHAME THEM gallery..
...have the name of the dealer, name of the person who you dealt with and their classic line of BS...
...with a weekly award for cheesiest excuse!!!


btw...coming to the meet on sunday??

S2000RJ

Yes, that would work too

Yes, I'll be there, I'm leading the Horsham pre-pre-mini-meet-meet. I can show you the scratches the dealer put on my cam cover. When I showed the mechanic, his initial response was They're all like that They've now agreed to replace it, but only after I wrote to the M.D.

kinda digressing from the point of this thread (we should start another one!!) but after a week of having my car i took it back to the service dept complaining that the gearbox was making a grinding noise on changing from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd occasionally.....i knew i was banging my head against a wall when out came mr cheif mechanic - the "s2000 specialist" as the service manager called him...who incidentally was the guy who did PDI my car - no prizes for guessing that he didnt find anything wrong with my car - not when he has a job to protect.

his explanation after being out in the car with me for 25 mins and hearing it several times - IM NOT DRIVING IT PROPERLY....his words.."i dont know what your previous car was but you now have a 'proper' sports car" I MEAN WTF!!!

i complained to the service manager who put in a report to honda on the problem because they hadnt sold too many s2ks and obviously all problems are new to them.

since then and a month later it has gone away...had the car rechecked over and they found a loose exhaust bracket but nothing else.

makes you wonder how some people are actually allowed near the public!!

Id be more than happy to contribute to a Name and Shame Them thread.....In fact I have a dealership very very close by that I would happily nominate....

my S2000 won't actually start unless you dip the clutch, there seems to be a switch connecting the started and the clutch peddle.
