  • Honda Stream II 2009 (import) - Replacing a unique windscreen 6 Sep 2024 (Forum)
    Unfortunately there is now a crack on the windscreen large enough to require  the whole screen replacing. Honda UK will not help me, beyond supplying a part number.

  • Pre-registered Imports 19 Feb 2001 (Forum)
    With insurance and an additional warranty the Trade-Sales price would be between £7199 and £7299. The salesman said that the ECUs of imports needed to be translated by the diagnostics machine, adding delays and extra costs to the servicing. The salesman also said that the value of imports would be thousands less than a UK-sourced Ka.
