I'm going to request a complete new handbrake cover as I accidentally scratched the painted plastic on mine.

My fault so that bit will cost.

Just spoke to someone at Honda from that phone number on the Autocar page. He said they're starting to send out letters to all the affected owners now and its a case of "no news is good news" unless you've experienced the problem. Only affects a certain batch of 06 and 07 vehicles according the the guy i spoke to.

We know the problem is out there, so you'd want it done though surely... even just for safety's sake.

And stop calling me surely

Sub.

79,000!!!! I wonder how much that is going to cost Honda!!

Kremmen · 29th March 2008, 12:41

Just shows the likely profit margins

Fuzion · 29th March 2008, 15:47

No letter, ops thought I would call the Honda Contact Centre (on number above)

Nice friendly annoucment telling me they are currently closed and the opening time for Saturdays is 9am til 5pm

9th Gen?

I have not even run in my 8th Gen yet!

Next time I'll drive to the States, I reckon that should put some miles on!

You have to add some accessories to your spaceship... because even if the word ship is present it did'nt float

Or maybe if you wait for the next Ice age you can cross the Behring straits...
