I think I've already made up my mind not to darken Honda's doors again, considering the abysmal way they are treating UK customers. I bought my mk.3 used and do all the servicing myself. Fortunately it seems to be a pretty reliable version, and I like it and enjoy owning it and will keep it for the foreseeable future, but no more Hondas after this debacle. Sorry Hondasan, you've lost one customer and I will happily warn off anyone who asks me what I think of the company. Such a shame to ruin a good reputation by such foolish behaviour.
