Go to the diaphragm and you can see it in action.. this should be a good idea?

Not as far as i know - Honda list the same clutch and parts so i'm all good. Only picked it up because it was a cracking price

Got the throw out bearing for 1/3rd the price of the HUK price.

OH and yes, both garages agreed that it was noisy and that inspection would be a good idea but since neither of them would agree it was warranty related, the inspection labour would be chargeable unless a fault was found. I just wasn't convinced they'd manage to find a fault covered by warranty so i left it.

Sounds like they bullied you a bit..

I would have asked HQ... although the branch could fight it as wear and tear

If i NEVER deal with Hondas customerscare department again it will be a day too soon.

They are without question the worst manufacturer i've ever had the misfortune to deal with.

It was less a case of bullying and more a case of inept and disinterested. It has been serviced by indies since that happened and I would never buy another car from a Honda dealer ever again because of that experience.

Yet another example of Honda shite service then...

Am I correct in thinking that if I remove my air conditioning I can run the OEM alternator belt off the CR?

Some CRs came with aircon so you would need to get a belt for a non-aircon version.

Alternatively you can get a non-aircon belt from Mugen, Spoon and even Halfords (search for the part number on here).

With Air Con = 6FPK1470
With out Air Con = 6FPK1138

Priced an exedy clutch at work today for the S, £378 for a 3 part kit, makes the oe release bearing price seem like highway robbery.

That's because it is!!
