Thanks SteveH

This is quite interesting as most other Euro's who have a different build date
apart from May 2008 do not have the acceleration rattle or pinging noise as we all call it.
This is my forst Honda car and im dissapointed since the rest of the car i sreally first class, it gets plenty of stares from onlookers.
It has that x factor the others dont have.
Anyhow im hopeful Honda Australia helps all the other owners who have lodged a complaint.

If they dont its going to end up crap creek.
The car of the year will then become the rattle of the century

Mate when i purchased the Euro the dealer threw in the non standard
gear shift from the accesories list, it really compliements the interior quite nicely. Do you have any hassle with the standars gear shift?
