Still low millage for one of these mate
It is the most complete car i have had mate, perfectly balanced, goes like stink and very good value for money. Also you have th added bonus of room for 5 and so comfy front seats Fuel isnt the best tho, 82 miles to £15 of optimax driving carefully, but i guess power has a price
WOT............. 15 notes is getting u 82 miles driving seniblly!!!!!! my astra with 282 bhp driving sensable with some blasts of heavy right foot wud still get u at least 100 miles from 15 notes!!! i thought the type r wud be good on fuel if u drove it normally............just be bad when u nailled, bet is such a nice smooth car to drive, cant beat the new cars to drive, makes corsas seems so old and dated i bet

That was hitting the Vtec on only a few occasions; its a heavy car so fuel is always gonna be worse than CTR's and ITR's Not using it for commuting anymore so not to much of a problem.
Col182- cheers mate, think its gonna be done at honda as they replace the parts under good will and i pay the labour. Thanks anyway tho

Exactly what happened with my brothers mate, get a new clutch while the box is out aswell, my bro didn't then had to shell out another 5 ton to get it doen cos' the release bearing or something was fucked

Yeh they said they will look at the clutch when its out, not sure if its been done already or not. Just waiting to hear back from Honda at the mo but im pretty sure the specialist will still be cheaper

My mates gearbox fucked up on his 'Teg Type-R and that was only on about 50,000 miles. He had it fixed under warranty with Honda as he hadn't had it long, then he sold it and got a MK4 Golf GTi instead

They have just called back, they said it is unlikely with the millage that honda will contribute They have quoted me 634.73 for just the 5th gear doing
