Popped down to my dealership yesterday for two reasons:
1) I've had my Civic over 4 months now and have a nice list of faults I want sorting now.
2) Dark nights have made my LOW headlights even more apparent, it is lethal to drive on an unlit road.
So far so good... showed them the list (below), said they'd need to have it for a day and booked me in for next Monday. While booking me in they took my Civic round to the mot bay and sorted the lights out, quick test lastnight and it appears I can see where I'm going again, although need to try a pitch black road to confirm.
My list for next Monday...
- Paint on rear caused by plastic fouling, gave them thread photos from these forums so they could see it's not just mine
- Failing left mirror motor, slow to go in/out, creaks and one cold day even failed to move out.
- Dangerously low headlights - FIXED while waiting
- Creak from rear, not shocks, will ask about torsion beam someone else mentioned on here
- Gearbox 2nd to 3rd too notchy
- Request "official" Honda HFT microphone fix - I'm told this is a replacement mic
Overall, not bad for 4-5 months, nothing major as far as I'm concerned, the car is still a complete joy to drive.
Oh, you'll love this... while waiting for my lights to get adjusted, wandered around the showroom and checked the plastic fouling bumpers on them.
I kindly informed them that their lovely Milano Red model has paint missing on the rear!!!
