Hi, do you have any reliable workshops/mechanics to recommend?It is related to the CVT problems.

Many thanks.

Not wishing to alarm you but CVT problems on a car of this age can be of concern as the cost of repair is often more than the value of the vehicle.
However, there are some specialists who may be able to help. If you can advise where abouts in New Zealand are you located, we will try to find a specialist close to you.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I am in Auckland and wish to keep the car longer, maybe another 5 years, for my son who is using it to learn to drive and until he is 25.
Do you think giving the transmission a flush and change the fluid will prolong the life? Am I able to buy the fluid from Honda directly?

Thank you.

I'd recommend taking it to a reputable transmission specialist. The AA has a network of Licensed Repairers, some of whom are specialists in this field.
