I too have similar issues with honda!

I too live in london. We can combine forces and take the entire honda empire down.

Let me know if you are interested. I have done plenty of research on this topic.

Silly question - but as someone who is trying to decide what to buy - why do you need a new engine???

Yeah, the dealer did own up and they looked after me. New engines in and I have just passed 1000 miles.

This has not been the end of my problems though! The car returned from the UK, where the engine change had taken place with a 1 inch hole in the bumper and 8 dents down the passenger side. The hole and the dents were not picked up by my local dealer so I returned the following day and pointed them out.

So I now have a new bumper and the dents removed from the front left wing and passenger door professionally but awaiting work done on the left rear quarter panel as this is double skinned and can't be fixed by the Dent Wizard. Its going in next week again for this to be completed and all the work is being paid for by Honda UK.
