Spare Comfort Zone

HondaTiger · 7th June 2007, 20:42

We are going on holiday to the wilds of Scotland soon and thought it prudent to have a spare fitted. My Dealer charged £150 fitted and I had to wait 10 days as they were on back order. As far as I can ascertain the price appears average.

Will be interesting to see how my mean red machine performs on it first really long run. Puncture free I hope.

Yeah, I don't have one, but my dealer said it would be £100 flat. Seems like you've been ripped off a little

£50 WAY OVER PRICED.

List price £100, (or thrown in free).
Go back and ask for refund if payed allready
These can be found on E-Bay buy it now £100

After many years as a Mazdaphile, I just joined the Honda fold....and I already need some help!

Just picked up an '88 CRX HF. Front passenger wheel-bearing needs to be replaced badly. When I bought the car, didn't think it would be a big deal. Didn't realize these things use sealed bearings that have to be pressed in and out.

I really want to do as much of the work myself as possible, but I don't have access to any of the "special tools" the Honda manual says I need, or a hydraulic press. Any chance I can do most of the work in my driveway with hand tools, then just take the hub to a shop to get the bearing pressed out and a new one pressed back in? Or do I really need to take this thing to a professional.

Really need some advice on this, as that Honda wheel bearing's gonna go any day now.

Thanks in advance!

I was quoted £130 fitted(!) from my dealer (forgot to get it in the deal

) bought one off ebay for £50 and the guy delivered it for me too

Dalboy · 8th June 2007, 18:45

I was charged £100 then when it was fitted they tried to charge me another £20 for fitting it? I refused to pay.

Sorry man, this site is for the 2006 Honda Civic, Nothing for 18yo motors! Maybe someone else can shed some light.

I was charged £100 inc fitting in December. After information from this site I went back to the dealer two weeks ago and asked for the net and cover etc which they provided free with no problems. Then.........suffered my first puncture.

I paid £100 for mine and fitted myself it took me approx. 5 mins seems to me you are being ripped off.

The spare is definately only £100 sounds like some dealers are adding on a healthy little profit for themselves! Mine was thrown in due to hassle received but I certainly wouldnt pay more than 100 quid for one when the Honda site states it at that
