Just had the car checked over with the UV dye and Honda found a leak in the condensor. This is the radiotr like thing in the front of the car and according to him it’s doesn’t look like a it was caused by a stone. Another part failed then.
It would cost £300 just for the condensor! Plus another £200 for labour and you get £500. Now add that to the gearbox estimate and it comes to £1100 – £1500. I think it’s fair to say be careful when you buy a Honda now. Although the customer service is pretty good and they have assigned me Jason to deal with most of my case.
The car is definately out of action for most of the time before 3rd July when it goes in for work.
