Well was still not happy so booked my car in last week to go in yesterday to have it looked at.
Took my car in on the 23rd Jul, orginally told that it would take a couple of days so was told wed at the latest.
had the call from my Honda dealer yesterday eve. turns out that my car is up on the ramp *** the gearbox in pieces and will be for quite a while, they have found the problem and will require a nre 3rd gear syncro. and linkage, The technician has been in contact *** Honda UK and all of a sudden they are now ware there is a problem and that a 3rd gear modification kit is being released, seems Honda were even keeping the Honda dealerships in the dark about this one.
So to get to the point, the kit is not coming in til the second or third week in Aug. so by poor little baby is gonna be in bits for a few a weeks....and to top it all Honda UK were meant to call me today to arrange to deliver a courtesy car to me, and did they? NO!!!! so not only am I without a car but am now having to chase Honda, is this really the service we have come to expect from Honda, even the technician at my Honda dealer seemed annoyed *** them.
This would imply that the recent (post Aug 07) Type Rs should have the mod fitted as standard and should not therefore have a problem. It would be very interesting to know if and when the change was made.
