Took my car today to Grantham Honda,Suspension noise from front and the other various recalls,ie Fuel filler cap,Drivers door latch.Theyve had the car all day,went to pick it up at 1630,all done.Drove home 35miles,parked up and went to put the handbrake on.The handbrake has 2" of travel before it engages on the 1st click.Ican push the car on 7 clicks and it manages to hold the car when the handbrake is basically pointing to the glass roof.Obviously not happy.Phoned Honda,they say they have had a couple of cars in that have had the handbrake recall done and have had the same problem as me.Its going back tomorrow and there refunding all my fuel costs.Suspension now fine and fuel filler cap ok,but this does not instill me with great confidence in their mechanics.Ill keep you all posted.
