5g Ignition

Surely it's not right that I can take the key out of the ignition when it's still on, ie, the first click?

No you shouldn't be able to do that. Sounds like either the key or ignition barrel is very worn

Wasn't there a recall on 5g ignitions, or have I just made that up?

yes there was a recall

if it hasnt been done before honda should do it, although some honda garages may fobb you off

when I went in I took a copy of the honda bulletin I printed off the net

or find one from a breaker

try another key first if you have a spare

I'm sure I have the letter/receipt for this in my paperwork that came with the car so it's already been done?!?

check you paperwork first make sure

if its been done, they probably wont do it for free

wouldnt expect the ignition to be worn either if its been replaced

They don't replace the barrel its the contacts at the back they repair
