Post Warranty work Complete!

Dropped the S into Guildford honda today to get some Warranty work done.
Good news was that I got 4 brand new alloys and centre caps all swapped under warranty for bits of corrosion. Also had the passenger door rubber seal replaced where it was slightly torn by the window (Had drivers door one swapped already).
And the Last thing was that they fixed a clanky clicky noise when I was changing speed /direction (possible Hub nuts?) By replacing re-greasing bits.

Downside was that I really needed 2 new rear tyres so got Honda to put 2 new ones on while they were at it. They dropped the cost of labour as the wheels were off already, so charged me

Cheaper to get a backstreet garage to fit them. There are very few tools needed (and I worry about "men" who don't possess any proper tools. I'm still concerned that LL and Jenny's wedding is a cover up....)

Eni, do you have any photos of the corrosion on the wheels?

If not how bad were they?

Thanks Russ.

'Men' should have a full set of Snap On tools to hand.

I would just like to voice my appreciation to Eni for spelling "warranty" correctly.
Where on earth do these eejits get "warrantee" from?

Corrosion was very minor. The worst wheel had a spot about a 1inch long the others had only 1 spot if that! Lots of black brake dust embeded in too and 3 of the 4 wheels were kerbed! I was quite shocked they replaced them all!

But I won't complain.

Oh and Beardie I'm Dyslexic
