The shoe is now on the other foot. It is reasonable for owners of Civics which have had the parking brake modification done, to receive definitive advice on how to apply it and in writing if asked to do so. Failure to do so displays cageyness and lack of conviction in the product.

I am writing to Honda UK over the weekend regarding the modification to my Civic and asking them to advise me on how to apply the modified parking brake, once it is fitted. Affected Civic owners need answers now. You can either wait until I publish the reply from Honda UK, (hopefully) or perhaps better still, write to Honda UK yourself and obtain a written response. I think this is the only way you will receive written guidance. I shall despair if Honda say what NH Dan thinks they may say. Good luck.
