Very nice danny.. and i bet every one of them was a pleasure to own with no reliablity issues at all? all mine over the years have never missed a beat.... my wifes GD '02 1.4 DSI SE jazz has just got back from its service and MOT.. 103,000 miles, no advisories, passed with flying colours, just had the original japanese water/coolant flushed and replaced again with 10yr antifreeze..... good do!! 

[guest3080]

Yeah they were all great, i miss the del sols more than anything! But had to get rid of them due to missus being pregnant at the time!

My jazz had MOT on 7/2 and passed fine! Although it did go into Preston Honda the week after for gearbox bearings to be replaced FOC under warranty. I had clutch done at same time too so that should be good for many a year to come!

[guest2898]

Yes, the del sols were cracking little motors.. ahead of their time! i loved the roof section that electrically gets lifted out with the two bars!! its like a fork lift truck doing the job!!  lol. Its handy having the preston honda dealer now on blackpool road isn't it? i really miss riding and co.. they were great.... 

[guest3080]

All 3 of my del sols were manual roof... the lighter model!

I used to work at Riding & Co!!

[guest2898]

Yes, i can beleive that! must have been a big motor, and link arms etc for just lifting a roof panel out... looked pretty cooll though... like something from thunderbirds!!! lol. 
You worked there?? i probably saw you, i was always popping in for little bits! the trade counter did me a great deal on a rear spoiler once for my 95 civic 1.4 5dr, it was silver, i got it re-sprayed green... then i sold the car, and bought a silver civic 5dr with no spoiler from riding and co.... typical!! 

[guest3080]

Yeah i worked there around 2001 in sales administration.

[guest2898]

Thats about the time i bought that spoiler! lol. I remember buying the silver S Reg civic from there... i had the sales man in and out of the office, hammering out a deal!! in the end mr riding came out of the offices with his hands in the air, saying "i cant give you anymore!" lol. they did me a good deal, and the after sales were great... i would still be getting my cars from there if it was still open, instead i bought my jazz from blackpool honda this time and did not receive the same care this time.. a bit of a "i don't want to know" attitude after buying the car... they even handed it over to me with defective brakes!! and they did not address issues i had pointed out on the body work, i wrote a big letter of complaint to the manager and he just ignored it and took no corrective action... i will be reluctant to buy a car from them again.. my neighbour wont be dealing with them again, he goes to greenacre honda in blackburn... he is picking his brand new jazz EX-L with sat nav up from there tomorrow! cant wait to see it... 

[guest3080]

Yeah I know what you mean with bpool honda. I got mine from there. Since then I've always used preston honda who gave an excellent service!!

[guest2898]

Apparantley preston honda are owned by blackpool honda (cox motor group) but they seem to be the best of the blackpool bunch at the preston branch... 

[guest3080]

Yeah thats right.
My Jazz went in to Preston Honda the other week to have gearbox bearings replaced under warranty. Was absolutely no hassle at all, got a Jazz as a courtesy car too!

[guest2898]

Nice one dan, did you enjoy the GE? great drive aren't they?
