Civic Type R Gearbox Issue

Honda have been rather spiffing at sorting this so far.

I asked for compensation for having to pay an independent mechanic £20 to diagnose the issue, and whether they'd warrant there's no damage to the box to receive this reply:

Aftersales Manager said:
Good Morning Daniel,

I will send a cheque to you today for £20 in regard to the independent looking at your car.

I am sure that there will be no long term damage to the gearbox, however if any problem does arise due to the low gearbox oil within the next 6 months then Gatwick Honda will repair the gearbox Free of Charge.

I have noticed that unfortunately your wife hit a curb the other evening. I suspect that the lower arm is damaged. In some cases it can also bend the steering track rod. The lower arm from Honda is £131.88 plus VAT.

I hope this is a satisfactory conclusion for you and if you require anything further please contact me.

Regards

Text highlighted in bold - He's telepathic/reading the words that I post on here! Maybe our insurance company/designated repairer contacted him regarding the damage to the suspension, although the car is still outside our house, and we've not yet had any contact from the designated rerairer to give a detailed description of the damage!

I'm impressed though, and ultimately very pleased with the way Honda have handled this. Hopefully other people have more luck, and nobody has a similar issue in the future with their gearbox.

Props to Honda, and more specifically to Craig Curtis, the aftersales manager at Gatwick Honda.
