I'm in a right pickle with one of these refusing to start.

There is fuel and spark and no engine management faults. There is low compression in cylinder 3 but thats about all I can find.

Heeeelp if anyone can!

I have mates who own Honda's and they've never had any problems with them, a mate of mine has got 127k on his clock and has only had to change the clutch, and regular services.

Honda have never had a single one back, (there is roumors of one going back) So i would say that the problem is a small silly one.

That is a common misconception.

Honda have never had an engine back due to a problem with the VTEC system, however they have had engines replaced etc.

distributors are a common fault for failing on these but if you have a spark?

If you have spark and fuel would check timing?

Injectors are firing good and i wouldnt put them at fault as they wouldnt have died during driving

The distributor was replaced yes and there is a spark. Ive checked timing and when compression hits on each cylinder then the spark goes inline with that..... cant get the timing belt cover off easily though
