I've been extremely reasonable with Honda Uk, and yet they're absolutely refusing to extend my warranty, after a number email exchanges.
Any suggestions from you guys on what to do next??
I still love the S2000 - but at this rate will be picketing Honda in Swindon....

bokkie, how many miles do you have on your new engine ?
A quick update: Gaxxy and Bristol Honda have kindly agreed to take Jenson in on Monday for the wunderkinds Kevin & Darryl to have a look-see. This gives me a lot of comfort given that they were involved in stripping & replacing Jenson's first short engine in October last year. I'll update the thread once there's any definitive outcome.
I have that this rattle is nothing major - just some sort of air intake anomaly....time will tell.
Many thanks to all for their kind words of support by post, PM and text.

Jenson currently has 30,000 miles on the clock which equates to just under 20,000 miles on the new engine. I don't think mileage has much of a part to play in these sorry developments as I understand engines have been popping from 500 miles and beyond. Not much of a consolation, I'm sorry!

I could cry as I type this:
Jenson does indeed have the Gaspode Death Rattle - a new engine is required
Jenson returned to the Bristol Honda fold this morning (thanks Gaxxy) where the living-legend-that-is-Kevin confirmed the terminal diagnosis within minutes. So Jenson is staying here for further open-heart surgery whilst I have the pleasure of another Bristol Bullet.
My heartfelt thanks to the Bristol Honda team for once again stepping up to the plate

Surely it's about time Honda made an announcement about these engines having possible problems. The thing that now scares me is what if my new engine goes pop in a couple of years time and the car's 5 years old what will honda do about it then?
Bokkie you must be so stressed out, I feel for you I really do. This whole engine saga has seriously got me thinking about selling the car and buying something that's not going to be a lottery wether your engine will blow or not!
