Hi, I had the same problem a couple of months ago, the garage voiced exactly the problems to me. Fortunately one of the mechanics working there was a time served honda mechanic prior to working at my local general garage and having checked the diagnosis and found it to be a regular fault on the return hydraulic pipe, therefore low pressure he said that he had delt with the problem many times and declared it to be a 30 minute job to fix on a permanent basis . He simply sleeved the pipe with heavy duty rubber hose and fixed it in place covering the whole steel pipe and securing it with six jubilee type hose clamps. This will only work on the low pressure pipe which he said was the usual one to fail at the front drivers corner where it is fitted around the corner of the sump. In all the weather and road spray. Hope that this helps. Dan Reeves
