thanks

Yea is a 2007 model thanks umm I have warranty from garage just bought off
Is it best to avoid the 2007 model then ?
No. Just buy one that's previously been fixed under warranty.
It's a general fault on the 07 model, but a quick fix once it's in at Honda. I had mine done shortly after buying it and it's been fine since.
Was it just the 2007 model ? Ive been looking at 2008-2009, however you dont know if a 2008 was just sat there for 12months before being registered..
How much did it cost to get it sorted ?
You can tell from the VIN what year it was manufactured, and yes very possible a 2008 car was manufactured in 2007 and would have the problem.
VIN breakdown (made up VIN):
SHHFN23707U000258
FN2 is the Type R,
next two digits are the body type and spec,
07 would be the manufactured year.
Warranty.
This is the notes sheet, item #3. It is about £90(ish?) an hour at main dealers. Parts are £270 on top of that.
Top man ! Im now armed with a bit of info for when i go looking at some FN2's. Close to a few honda specialists (TDI being one) so would probably go there instead of main dealer.
thanks again, and sorry for a million and one questions, trying to keep relevant stuff in the right place to not be annoying.
