Honda Civic - Squeaky Clutch c - Squeakyclean

This is a well known problem, but has anyone been able to get Honda UK to agree to replace the clutch master cylinder free of charge? It seems to me this problem has been around - unsolved - for so long, that Honda are negligent under the Sale of Goods Act, which makes manufacturers liable for 6 years if they fit a knowingly substandard part.

Is it coming from the pedal area(nylon bush/master cylinder) or the gearbox (clutch fork/pivot ball)?

I'm told Honda have modified the clutch master cylinder now which cures the problem.

Mine was replaced in 2008 but has started squeaking again.

Have contacted Honda and waiting for a decision but I will pursue this in small claims under the sale of goods act as not being fit for purpose if they try and fob me off!

I'll post a reply when I hear back....
