Seems I've arrived at this too late, but my 2005 1.4 manual has developed a noisy gearbox in lower gears. Bought last year from a main dealer, full service history, 24,000 miles. My first Honda car after 15 years of Toyotas, first main dealer buy. And then at first service they quote me over £900 to fix what I discover is a known problem! That's 20% of the price I paid for it!
I contacted Honda and they've agreed to pay the parts, so kudos to them for that. Dealer has offered 10% discount on labour, so it's still over £600 to pay out.
So can someone tell me if I leave it, will it break anything seriously expensive? And what do you think of the dealer's attitude (their slogan is 'Where peace of mind comes as standard'!)
When the dealer gets a TSB, are they required to contact owners, should they be looking out for this at service time? Or do they wait until it's reported?
Any help and advice appreciated- help restore my faith in Hondas! Had several motorbikes and they were great.
