What do you make of this then?...
They've had my car from 8.30am till 5pm tonight...
Paint on rear caused by plastic fouling -
"not caused by plastic, has been *caught* by someone/something"
Failing left mirror motor, slow to go in/out, creaks and one cold day even failed to move out -
tested and found nothing wrong!
Creak from rear -
couldn't find anything.
Gearbox 2nd to 3rd too notchy -
apparently nothing wrong with it!
Request "official" Honda
HFT microphone fix -
they've increased the volume setting.
Fuel fill cap -
not heard about that one yet, presume nothing at all done about it.
So... they've had my car ALL day and all that's been done is an increase to the microphone volume, not the official fix....
Took Assistant Manager (Devries Honda) out to my vehicle tonight, showed him the mirrors opening/closing, he could see the left mirror going slower and could hear it struggling to move - said he would order a new one for me... guy who tested this in workshop must be the same muppet that thinks my gearbox is perfect as well then I guess!!! 
Discussed the paint issue, going to touch it up, he knows this has happened on a LOT of Civics...
Reminded him that they won't hear the creak from rear unless it is reversed off a kerb at an angle, that was forgotten about - I reiterated the issues on here about that, i.e. glass-roof models, welding points etc....
He's going to call me tomorrow once he's heard from Honda about some of these issues, apparently they have someone monitoring all the faults on HERE a lot of the time.
What do you lot think then? They've had my Civic all day and the ONE and only thing done on this list was the microphone volume which I could have done myself in the diagnostic settings which makes next to NO difference as I've just tried it on the way home...
Oh! I had a 1.8 petrol Civic today and the gearbox was so loose and easy to shift - is there such a difference between petrol and diesel gearboxes or is it just that mine is still way too stiff after 4500 miles??? I asked if I could have a diesel courtesy car next time to compare gearboxes...
