A claim has gone into Honda for warranty replacement of my corroded wheel nuts....Honda UK said it's road film....

If you let me have your emails I'll send it. Not sure if you can send on here though.

Well I started this thread and I e lost patience with Honda. I have started proceedings to return the vehicle. To say that Honda UK are not interested in customers is a understatement. I have written three times to customer services and had the same Inept answer....i can always use on...

My service light has come on at 5k miles. No abuse just normal commuter and extended motorway runs.......it's just another issue with the car. I'm not having it serviced when the intervals clearly state 12 k or 12 months ok i'm not to 10% either way but service at 5k forget it...i'm annoyed

For all us out there here is Hondas response regading brake squeal.....funny how no other car suffers from it...With regards to the brakes I have checked with the Honda (UK) Technical department regarding the noise issue you raised. They have said that there will inevitably be a small amount of...

The RS started to lose a lot of money. I was only offered 24.5 and it wasnt 12 months old however WBAC offered me 28.5 k...so I sold it to them. Its a great car the RS, however the ride is quite tiring and the MPG is a lot less than the CTR, as I use it as a adaily I have to take these things...

I was just wondering how many decibels it was. People can hear it when im on hands free....arent there limits on noise from vehicles ?

Ive reported the brake squeal issue to Honda.....decibels wise is it legal ???? It must be near 70db I would say at a guess.

If it was a design issue combination of drilled discs and brake compound then it would be every car !! Its a quality issue as some are affected and some are not. Again can we have a count of those with oxidising discs and those that are like stainless....mine are like mirrors lol.

I have opened this thread for us all to list quality issues we are experiencing with our new purchases. Please don't think this is a knock, it isn't however I am disappointed with the quality of the car to date, including the latest issue. If anyone else has experienced any of the issues below...

Hang on a minute im the oldest FK8 Type R owner........surely im not going to lose my only "No 1 status".... In answer to your "age" related questions. Its a bit boomy on the motorway certainly more noisy than my Focus RS 3 The fuel economy is fanatstic considering, 40mpg plus on motorway is...

Looks grest doesnt it. Mine is same colour but i have the option spoiler fitted. Sorry to go on again about the brakes. Yiyr discs seem oxidized, are they ? Mine look like stainless steel...i wonder if they (Honda) have changed the disc material type ? My serial number is 5891.....thanks

I am 60 and drive like im 60 so no abuse from me. I dont think that the brakes are anything special certainly dont have the stoping power of the Brembo on the RS. Again why dont they oxidise mine are sparkling even after leaving in damp overnight, does anyone have oxidised discs....what about...

Well it's 660 miles so far and I had a puncture, managed to fix the tyre replacement quoted at £200 fitted !! I can't say I'm enjoying owning this car, early days I know and many will say "you just like moaning" but with squeaky and embarrassing brakes, which don't seem half as good as the RS...

I think the sympton get out is rubbish. Had Brenbos on my RS never a squeak from them....mines going in for squeaky brakes if they come with the accept it rubbish ill e mail Brembo !

My wheels squeak when in slow traffic. I also had oil warning light come on with the ever present tyre deflation warning light. This car isnt looking like one of my better buys....

500 mile report CTR FK8 in PMM. Well 500 miles has come in a little over 10 days, I’m now in a position to judge it against my previous car Focus RS Mk 3. Comfort, a no brainer the comfort and Sport mode and even the R make the CTR ride seem like a Citroen DS when compared to the RS, although...

Have you got a diffinitive answer to the winter wheel issue I need to get some or buy a car for winter use.....cheers

I'm 60 and just took delivery of my CTR! And I got the optional spoiler. I suppose it also explains me getting 40mpg on a run and averaging 31mpg over my first 250 miles...tee he x

Picked my PMM on Friday. Girlfriend gets in it she might as well have got in with a flap wheel and a 24v Drill....why do they have to drag hand bags and coats all over the dash ??....rant over. First driving impressions are positive but I don't like to fully appraise till the car is run in. Got...
