    front discs & pads

    Give a motor factors a call, they should be able to give you the information for free even if you have no intention of buying from them.

    Rattling Noise From Engine

    To clatify, it was a Honda dealer that did the work?

    Rattling Noise From Engine

    Something just doesn't ring true with this for me. Brand new Honda parts don't just fail like this and combined with a vague diagnosis method I'm thinking there may be more than meets the eye. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid.

    Rattling Noise From Engine

    I know it's only 3 weeks away but that is awful. I'd be inclined to push them a bit on that otherwise consequential damage could be through the roof.

    20 months ban for this ?

    I think they have just been made an example of to discourage similar behavior.

    Unfortunately I think this will end up being a classic case of only half a job was done last time.

    £110 for garage oil change. Eye-watering?

    I hear that if a dealership makes a 2% profit throughout a year it is considered to be a successful one. I wonder how many independents work towards them figures? Who really is the "stealer"

    £110 for garage oil change. Eye-watering?

    Operating costs. Like the example I gave. EDIT: Here's another quite amusing one. Say for instance that you have a franchised dealership and within the showroom you are selling official merchandise for the manufacturer and they say that you have to display that merchandise in a particular...

    £110 for garage oil change. Eye-watering?

    Which is fine, but people can't expect a business/professional to work for the same lack of profit. They are providing a service and it's their livelihood and how they feed their kids and pay their mortgage.

    £110 for garage oil change. Eye-watering?

    Seems a reasonable figure to me. Take £50 out for the oil and filter and £60 to first open the doors, pay the bills, pay peoples wages and then try and make a profit afterwards it doesn't seem that bad. I don't know what sort of margins you think garages work at but when you have to pay...

    Horses for courses?

    As I said, most people walk in to a showroom insist on a diesel and won't consider a petrol despite any advice that is offered. Usually they're the ones who bleat about costly DPF repairs that are caused by their own driving style. Diesels are for penny pitching tight arses anyway. So 'm glad...

    Horses for courses?

    She may have been one of them people who simply can't be discouraged from buying/financing a diesel. The amount of people who will only buy diesel because they've had them for years is enormous and no matter how much warning of the effects short distance driving can have on a modern diesel...

    I've driven quite a few S2Ks and because of my height/size I only feel comfortable in one with the roof down. They are a car that you really have to respect and aren't all that forgiving. Particularly in the wet! I have a RWD car as well already and I'm a bit weird and actually prefer a well set...

    If it's going to be a another toy, I don't need the 4 seats and big boot like I did when I had one as a daily drive.

    I think I'll have to have another proper VTEC engined play car within the next couple of years. I doubt I'd have another ATR but either a Prelude or DC2 would be cool.
