Not sure if you managed to find anyone but crystal clear detainers in Swansea are **** hot they get people travelling from all over the uk coming to them. They have a fb page.

The grilles are different. The dealership has confirmed the issue with the normal civics are different to the type r civics, but there is also an issue with the sensors on them.

Oh dear, they’ve not given me a cheque or anything. Just a reference to give the dealer which has £200 credit.

Just an update, ive had this off Honda: I pleased to advise that the countermeasure for the replacement grille is now in its final stages and they should be available to all the dealerships very soon, I’m afraid that we don’t have an exact date as to when these will be available. They've also...

To confuse this. The Honda dealer in Swansea insisted this issue wasn't the same as the other civics They said they sent the diagnostics off from my sensors to Honda and they noticed it wasn't the same sensor issues other honda civics were having. Hence why they wanted to try other things. It...

Today it’s suddenly started happening again so it’s not a fix! Spoken to my local dealer and their going back to Honda to see what they suggest next! As you say it stops when you pick up speed but at lights it’s annoying! Will keep you updated with what they try next! It wasn’t even raining...

Haha it’s bad that I actually did check that they still work and didn’t just disconnect them! Shows the trust I had in them!!

I’ve been sat trying to work out how to upload photos off an iPhone for ten mins, I give up! I’ve checked the photos of my previous grille and this one and both look identical. It may well be thinner *** I’m just going off photos. Something’s definitely changed though. It’s rained again today...

Hi mate, Yea ** take some photos and have a proper look tommorow, I haven't really paid that much attention to it, but having said that the sensors haven't gone off today and we've had light rain (when they'd usually go off) so something is different!

Yea there's sensors in there, think there's the two central ones under neath the actual mesh part with type r logo, they said it slightly differs so I can only presume it's angled differently so they rain won't sit on it, only time/ rain will tell!

Hahah I had a chip in mine off a poxy boulder judging by the size of it! At least I've got something out of it even if the sensors are still knackered!

Just an update on the progress with my car, they've changed the front grille today, so I've got a brand new section where the red H is located. I'm not sure what's different about this one to the other one but ** wait for the next rainy day and see if the sensors go off!

I took my car in they tried something with the sensor placement but it doesn't work, it's going back in Monday again because they now want to change the grille. I honestly don't know how they can't fix it! It's dangerous

Another update guys.... my local dealership just rang (Swansea - Archer13), Honda have contacted them after i went direct to them and think they've found a fix, my cars going in next Thursday for them to fit the part and see if that works.....** let you all know how it goes. It does look like...

For those of you who have this issue I had a response back from Honda today....hopefully it can be sorted soon! I can confirm that the stage that we are at with this issue is that the factory are currently at the final stage of investigations. A fix has been found for this but the parts are...

I've reported it direct to Honda now and they've said a fix is in progress but they can't give timescales. The dealer has just said their waiting on Honda to have a fix but they're well aware of the issue. I think everyone just needs to complain to get noticed. It impacts the standard civics too...

Something doesn't seem right, perhaps there's a volume setting, I certainly know if I'm close enough to a car to get the red lines, and that's what I get in the rain!

Oh yes, its dangerous! i don't get how they cant find a fix for it, apart from just turning the sensor off!

Yea I wasn’t impressed with their response. They showed me Hondas response which basically translated to- we haven’t decided how to fix it at the cheapest price yet, keep driving with the issue and we will try find a fix. Get it reported mate the more that report it the quicker they’ll find a...

I've noticed when it's raining the 'object approaching' warning comes on from my front parking sensors! i took it to the main dealer in Swansea today to be told they're aware of the issue and Honda are trying to find a fix. Apparently i'm the second in Swansea to complain of it but the Cardiff...

yea i mixed the type r's up mate

I agree mines reasonable. I'm just saying that price given for an fk8 is ridiculous

I just had 23500 off Honda dealer for my fk2! Car sales places are just a con market

Thanks mate I presume that’s it. It said vtec next to the lights on fk2, so I presume this is the equivalent on the fk8 Thanks again

Is there? To be honest mate I didn’t think moving from an fk2 to 8 would be that different

Thanks mate Any ideas how I enable it?

Hi guys May be having a very dull moment here. I’ve just picked up my fk8, does this model have vtec lights? I’ve blasted it but didn’t notice any vtec lighting pop up? Just moved from an fk2 so use to it on there. Thanks
