Can anyone recommend a good reputable Honda specialist to take a look at the valve clearances? I'd assumed everything was hydraulic these days until I had a read of the Haynes.

I may also get them to do the gearbox and diff fluid at the same time if I don't get around to it. I have the proper Honda MTF and Dual Pump fluids ready to go.

I am on the Surrey/Hampshire borders and have had a couple of disappointing experiences with garages (Part of the reason I ended up buying a new car)

Cheers all

We had good experiences with Fleet Autoway (they used to be a Honda dealer). And with Deepcut garage (Bosch agent).
