Mike.
I notice you say yuo live in Hampshire ??
Where abouts ?
I am currently suffering with injector blowby.
this can be checked by removing the engine cover and checking around each injector.
My issue is this injector...
closer in......
You can easily see if its leaking or not as it will be 'wet' or sooty around the injector.

I phoned Honda Ascot earlier this morning and I'm waiting for a call back (they are going to check if Honda will cover it).
Thinking about this a bit more I'm convinced this is why I have been feeling tired and have had headaches over the past two months or so (I actually went to see my doctor about it but he could find nothing wrong - I should have asked him to check for carbon monoxide poisoning!).
Until I get it fixed I'm going to keep the heater on the re-circulate setting (I'm guessing the fumes get dragged into the heater plenum and enter the cabin this way).
I'll let you know how I get on and thanks again

Booked in for tomorrow - will be FOC if it is confirmed to be the manifold and should be fixed for Thursday - £18 for a courtesy car for two days.
Impressed so far - I'll report back how it all turns out.
Fingers crossed it is actually the manifold cracked and not something else chargeable (whatever it is makes one hell of a diesel smell but I can't actually see the state of the manifold itself because of the cover that is fitted on top of it - I guess the technician will have to "diagNOSE" as well ).
