Jenson
Saturday afternoon was perfect for a topless so I got Jenson out and went for a bit of action to raise a smile. Changing from 3rd to 4th gear at just on 8,000RPM I heard a funny pop and Jenson didn't sound well at all. I took him home.
On Sunday, I got a mate to have a listen and we agreed it sounded like an exhaust-related complaint. So I drove the 92 miles to work today with a VERY noisy car and a radio which got ever louder.
By the time I got to Swindon, Jenson sounded awful so I got a mechanic to have a look and listen. His verdict: That's not exhaust - it's either transmission or engine!
Cue Gaxxy & the team from Honda Assist - and the FABULOUS Bob from the AA who reckons it could be transmission as the very loud grinding is louder when in gear or could it be valves as there seems to be a blowback through the airbox.
So anyway, Jenson has gone on a journey...all the way back to Bristol Honda to be fixed.
But this'll make you smile! What did I get as a fair exchange for my S? A purple Nissan Micra - thanks to the comedian at the Oxford meet who carded it tonight!
Jenson goes walkabout...without me

awwwww!
poor bokkie! (and of course Jenson). Narrowly missed the meet, due to being forced to attend an evening works reception, so no opportunity for banter
Where are you working in Swindon? ...The landscaping in the background looks familiar...

That sucks balls.
On the other hand, Jenson is probably pleased to have had the opportunity to be driven at a bit of pace for once.
Fingers crossed for a quick fix.

Sorry to hear about your car and hope Honda can fix it for you
However I'm a little surprised you decided to drive it all the way to Swindon before having it fully checked out by the garage. If in doubt get a mechanic to take a look.
