I was truly & utterly defeated by a Honda Civic 1.6 Sport the other day

My friends grlfriend has one & I had to move it off my drive the other day so that I could get my shitty granny mobile Corsa out. After selecting reverse from on top of the dashboard I pulled it off the drive & parked it just outside my house. When I went to get out I couldn't remove the key. I had to call my friend to ask him how to do it

Turns out you have to push the key in slightly before being able to turn it to the point where the key comes out.

Whats even more worrying is that this system has NEVER failed, making it without doubt one of the greatest motor engineering advancements of the past decade.

Be very very careful, they are much better than you think.

i particully like muppetsports story of when honda owners tell him the v-tec system has never failed, and his reply was along the lines of "neither has a mk3 cav header tank"

Whenever Vtec (yo!) is mentioned it must ALWAYS, under EVERY circumstance, be followed by a "Yo!" - I have ammended your posting, please ensure that it doesn't happen again.
