Soldato
You got rid of the Mondeo, what you got now?
I'll call him tomorrow on my way home from London.
Just a heads up that he normally books up months in advance for weekend dates. Had to wait 2 months with a leaky roof for mine to be done.
He has his bad reviews but also has his good ones, seemed a decent guy but very much a case of leave car with him and leave him to it was the impression I got. Didn't bother me as went for a wander & had a nice lunch etc![]()
AA man came. Ex honda mechanic, tried to Rock it in 2nd and get it to go over so the car would roll. Couldn't do it so he's saying engines seized. Still oil in it so something's given in and I won't know till it's been taken apart so it's been sent to Honda.
Not having much luck at all. Oil at the bottom of the sump
But nothing seems to have cracked at all. Worst case is
Engine will Have to be rebuilt.
I don't know to be honest, I'm not that knowledgeable. It might just be a coincidence, but the engine is much much quieter as you can see in the vid I posted. They may have over-tightened them, this could explain the smoke coming out of the air filter, who knows.
Codes have been stored on the ECU apparently, but the EML doesn't stay lit on, so they could be old codes. Car was fine albeit tappety before it went to Honda.
Always have a bad experience with Hondas lol.
