14,000 miles no problems or complaints so far, touch wood!

26 - 28 mpg on Shell V power .
never uses any oil, due 2nd service due next month.
warranty until May 12 and I shall then extend it for 3 years, worth the cost.

needs a new screen, to be fitted by autoglass tomorrow

rear tyres at 3mm so they need replacing in a couple weeks.

Very similar - just past 15K - no problems whatsoever.
Never uses oil and since sorting out the geo and replacing the rear tyres a couple of weeks ago, drives like a dream.
But will be extending the warranty just in case, so suggest you do the same.

Thanks, do I have to wait until the current warranty has expired or can I purchase an extended warranty now?

Wait until the 3 year warranty is up, then buy an extended one. Your dealer will almost certainly send you an application form when the time is near.

Don't pay more than £300 per year for it.

Are the issues still on-going in relation to Bokkie's car ?

Or can we now have a definitive answer to the engine failures on 09 cars ?

lovegroova

Bokkie's situation is ongoing, and redress is being discussed with Honda.

The engine issue that affected a small number of MY09 cars has been identified and can be easily cured under warranty.

GREGSTERWIZ

Thanks for the reply

So I'm guessing big end bearings,shells or crankshaft thrust washers

Bristol Honda are on the ball with the issues, sadly many other dealers aren't

lovegroova

In fact, contacting Bristol Honda might be the best way of obtaining the facts. Any volunteers from the MY09 owners?

GREGSTERWIZ

Already have

The service manager Ian was very helpful and made a very refreshing change to the Honda dealers in this part of the country

Some cars have had a bootom end rebuild, others have had parts changed

My money is on thrust washers and crank walk

I am taking some spare batteries for my dealers hearing aid tomorrow although my issue may be unrelated

Surely Honda know the batch of cars that are affected so it should be easy to identify by VIN number?
