2.2 i-CTDi Executive 4 X 4

Very smooth, fast and so very comfortable.

Purchased a silver Honda 2005 2.2 diesel 2WD manual in 2013. It was nice and clean, unmarked inside and out and cheap at 2.3k. Great to drive, really drove like a new car it had about 120k miles on it. After a few weeks I thought I will keep this for a good number of years years. So I spent a bit money on it, changed (expensive oil) and all filters. After a few days I noticed a slight chain rattle on the bottom of the engine.Well not to worry I thought Honda,s are bullet proof. About a week later whilst towing a small caravan up the motorway I lost all engine power. A chain at the bottom of the engine which drove the oil circulation pump had snapped and put a hole in the bottom of the engine the car was sc***ped. This chain and the timing chain can snap on Honda diesels especially when the oil changes are neglected.
So if you are looking at a diesel Honda and hear a rattly noise walk away. I learnt the hard way.
