Your engine number is 27 above Gaspode's which, I believe, was the first 09 to fail

Don't panic just yet

Is it the faint, metallic, "pinking", loose heatshield, very tinny kind of noise and what is your mileage (just for info on this thread)

Believe me, it's crossed my mind

Especially as I have been waiting since Monday for a reply from Steve Dyer at Honda (UK)

It may surprise you but I can be extremely tenacious when I need to be

Jonesey, doesn't sound too good

Paranoia can set in reading this thread but if it's something which has developed and isn't "normal" then best of luck

Bristol Honda seem to be the best dealer to take it to as they are aware of the issues
