The end of an era . . .
256,000 miles and there was a strange knocking noise from the front left side when accelerating. I took it to Honda and the mechanic calls me into the workshop and says "Its not good."
All the underneath is covered in oil, the gearbox is dry of oil and two oil seals on a driveshaft have blown. He then moves the driveshaft a couple of inches to the left and right saying that the diff has gone so it needs a new gearbox. He reckons a gearbox from a breakers is around £800 if you can find one, then we are looking at 8 hours labour to remove and refit a gearbox, and then how good will that one be?
So I have condemned it . . . . and bought another !
I'm getting a 65 reg HS-T in white !

Wonder how many other cars would have lasted that many miles as a driving school vehicle, what does the logbook say '500 careless drivers' ?
Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot
