Cracked Exhaust Manifold

Good result mate, it will feel like a new car when fixed.
 
what are the conditions of this warranty repair ? 125k and 7 years ? does your car have to have a full honda service history ?
 
7 years old or 125k whichever is the sooner if like mine 1 of the criteria isn't met you'll need to speak to H UK customer services and argue good will from them. With regard to service history if its within the time limit and mileage it shldn't be an issue but if not then a service history will go along way to helping
 
Hot fuzz i was in the same boat as you honda paid for part and i have to pay for labour ive got marshalls york to do mine for £54 hr which is the warranty price they would normally charge Honda.
There normal price is £79 a hr said it would take 5.5hrs = £434 50p have sinced checked with other dealers and should take 2.5hrs~3hrs,so phoned marshalls up again and they will not charge me more than 3hrs at £54 hr = £162. You can also get any dealer to fit so you have that in your favour to haggle over price. so in my case i have saved £272 dont be scared to pick the phone up mate they also wont have that much work on this time of ;) yr

Cheers for the info Dave I'll call them to see what they say about a warranty rate they quoted £240 + vat. I'll also remind them that in the past they've given me a discount for being a member of TA. It's worth a try but I wont go anywhere else to have it done they've been really good about fitting me in.
 
Thought I'd give an update spoke to the service manager today and mentioned the warranty rates. He was very accomodating and said he would sort something out for me I'm actually lookinf forward to getting it done and having to spend a little money! must be christmas :lol:

Santa's come early and managed to squeeze a manifold in his sack :lol:
 
Its a shame his sack wasn't big enough for 2! I could do with a manifold right about now..
 
Well works all done and they've done a great job new exhaust manifold total cost £214.99 inc VAT thats 3 hours labour :D and cars running sweet as a nut with NO fumes :D :D
 
Nice one Chadders, I remember when I had mine done, it felt so tight and 'new' afterwards.
 
Eventually got my manifold done i had arranged to have done week before xmas by local dealer so i rang my local dealer, got put through to service dept not sure what your talking about ???? i explained the situation also asked could they fit a Hid kit at the same time,whats a Hid kit the mechanic said??? Stop i said to myself were going to Hallcroft Honda cant take anymore of these morans. Phoned HH explained manifold issue and Honda UK paying for part, booked car in week later set of on 2hr drive. I had manifold changed £204 also 137k service, gearbox fluid changed,clutch adjustment+Hid kit fitted i supplied all parts was charged £115 and was treated like a customer should be on the way home it felt like i was in a new car,clutch is fantastic id had it in 3 times with local dealer (no its fine sir) cant believe difference with manifold gears feel better and lights why have i waited so long for these to be put in.Im so glad i went through to Hallcroft like my wife said you will get peace of mind.Only down side to the day was i had a advisory play in inner cv joints then today local dealer rings me to see if i can book car in so they can have a look at my suspension ????
