Hi all, I am new to the forum so firstly I'll start by introducing myself,
I picked up my new (2006) accord 2.2 i-cdti sport yesterday from an independent dealer and overall I am very pleased with my purchase
However, when I test drove the car I noticed the cluth was slipping in 3rd, the dealer has fitted a new clutch and dual mass flywheel and when I picked the car up the speedo has stopped working, I had to take it back and wit for an hour why they checked the obvious things and couldn't find anything obvious which brings me to my question.
He told me that the speedo is electronically controlled and due to the clutch being repalced may need calibrating so to drive it for a 3/4 days to see if it starts working and if not he will book it back in and loan me a vehicle.
I can't fault the dealer to be fair for the work he has done on the car for me, but I have never heard of such a thing before and was wondering if anyone has come across this? or was he just trying to gey me out his showrom for the day!
Thanks in advance, and love the site!
