Is it wise to post that?

Brimington test centre?

loltim · 11 Apr 2013 at 21:03

erm, I edited because you've got me worried. It was a genuine emissions test on a pre 1990 car? :confused:

No GT3, was at a garage near where I work in S8. Is it dodgy?

GT3 · 11 Apr 2013 at 21:10

One of my tests was done by a Lindley and I always use Brimington test centre, that's all! Best test centre around!

lol. What's up with it now?

Vita · 11 Apr 2013 at 22:48

It decided to pee all the oil out of the crankshaft seal from the looks of it. The release bearing also seems to have gone making a metal touching metal sound.

All was fine this morning so I'm thinking bearing went taking the seal with it. Fed up with it, it can go as a loss.

Booking in for cambelt / tensioner / waterpump in a week or so.

Refurbished cam cover arriving next week.

Scottland · 11 Apr 2013 at 23:31

Damn, that cam cover looks good. What colour is it?

fonzee · 11 Apr 2013 at 23:34

Spooner sesh?

bledd · 11 Apr 2013 at 23:59

Yes, Spooner

This is where I first saw that colour..

Apparently it's Deep red high gloss

He said it's hard to capture the colour on camera. Should be far easier to wipe this clean than wrinkle red!

Thats really unlucky vita, I think I'd feel the same, cut your losses

When stuff goes wrong when you've spent a bomb you're bound to be disheartened and then won't wanna drive the car "in the zone" just incase...

Bad times

Yup exactly that. It's strange as I was just driving under the speed limit on the motorway. Totally fed up with it, I bought a lemon simple as that. Regrets to be had but lessons learned. I won't be coming back to a Honda anytime soon. I realised I need the extra boot-space/foldable seats so back to an estate I will go.

Really gutted though, as I probably won't get half what I payed for it.

^What are the problems you've had with it? How long have you had it? (save me trawling your posts)
