If they're a main dealer you should inform Honda UK of your "experience". Least you're sorted now.

I did speak to Honda UK about the availability of the ancillaries, they didn't seem to bothered to be honest, but I'll be writing to them in the New Year, need to get the warranty sorted with them.

Your boat is looking great

And I purchased my last boat from CTC, they are a real cowboy outfit. Luckily I had purchased the boat at a price to offset the issues, although I din get them to cough up for them in the end

Glad you like it so far, taking a little break now over Xmas ready to start again in the New Year

It's a pity CTC are they way they are, I just don't see any reason for it, they've got a great location and good premises, I think they just are really crap at organisation and try to hide that with even crappier excuses, a real cowboy outfit is a very fair description, glad you got sorted in the end

Very nice indeed Mr Caton!

Are you sure you intend getting this rig wet? Shiny new engine, trailer, tooobs, etc. You're not going to leave it parked in your drive and polish it every weekend now are you?

not too bad really, or I wouldn't have bought it in the 1st place, but as the rest of it looked so good I priced up getting it looking good again in the end I just thought sod it, get a new one n be done with it

which means the old one will be for sale at some point soon

and a few more now its sorted, moved the swing beams around 500mm and the axle around 600mm, ended up trimming around 850mm off the legs, could have moved it a bit more but wanted to leave enough room for openeing the rear door on the 90 / disco when towing
