I bought a new ENY1 in March 2024. I knew that the total miles at 100% was rubbish (about 250) but I didn't expect my surprise on the first cold day today I charged it overnight last night when the air temperature was -3 deg C. When I started the car this morning it said 100% charged. It also said 138 miles to empty I rang the Honda garage where I bought it from and they said I could expect a drop in cold weather as it didn't have a heat converter Can this be correct.? They did offer to have a look at to see if the computer needed a memory dump etc Thanks everyone Philip

Hello My 2022 Honda HRV is becoming very unreliable. On three occasions the battery died. Recently I was waiting for a car wash in line after punching the code. My turn came, I could not start the car when car wash door open. People had to push me through the car wash bay. I had my radio on only. Other occasions I was waiting at a medical clinic to pick up my wife after her appointment. The battery was dead around 4:30 pm. I called Honda Roadside Assistance, they came at 1:30 am and boosted the vehicle. I had to take an Uber to bring back my car. It cost me two Uber rides out of my pocket. I booked appointment at Honda to get things check out. They could not find any fault. They advised to buy a bigger battery if I wanted (!!)I thought it would be free as it was just two years since I bought the vehicle. I had to pay $90 (they said they reduced the cost by 50%). In first Winter in 2022 after I bought the vehicle, It lost power with all display got blank, it happened twice in the same winter. Later it was recalled for the same purpose and reprogrammed in summer 2024. I am now at a loss as I live in Edmonton which comparatively colder that many cities in Canada. Should I buy a booster pack to be safe this winter? Mohammad Hasan Edmonton, Alberta

My 2005 CRV had a new clutch fitted at the start of this year before that and after when the weather is dry the clutch often becomes squeaky in wet it it never happen so recently I've been spraying WD40 though the gap behind the front wheels and to date it's seems to have done the trick! Could this have lubricated the problem I don't know but fingers crossed 😏

nice.. used to have the first series.. loved that car

Couldn't you keep him and shop around for someone local to mend the old chap, perhaps a local technical college or the like?? You pay for parts and get free labour???

Any help

Hi, I own a 2011 CRV, with 41000 miles on clock, I'm having a problem that seems to be a slipping clutch, the symptoms are in low revs in 2 or 3 when starting to accelerate I hear the rpm go slightly higher than the accelerate speed, also there's a jump on the rpm counter. But the handbrake test, I,e try to pull away with handbrake on doesn't confirm the clutch slipping, any help much appreciated, Tom Hill

I’ve got a similar problem. Shows option to turn Bluetooth on but reverts to off straight away. Happened suddenly after restarting

Hello lovely HRV Owners I have a 1999 metallic yellow HRV which has recently failed it's MOT, and I was advised it was beyond economical repair. It's at the back end. It needs new suspension thingies and sills, as it's badly corroded underneath in that area. Garage estimated 20 hours of work. (Sorry, haven't got paperwork to hand at the moment). The engine is good, and has done around 143,000 miles, and drives well. I've owned this car for 23 years, and I'm completely broken hearted that we have to part company. He's been like a best friend to me, and never let me down. Always starting first turn of the key! The reason for my post is that I cannot bare the thought of him having to go to a scrap yard, and was just wondering if there were any enthusiasts amongst you who were interested in him as a "project." And could turn him into a beautiful classic car for yourselves. I live in the Essex/Suffolk border area. 😊

That should work..

I assume you don't have the recirculate vent closed, sounds as if you aren't introducing fresh air. Try auto setting on heater that will bring in dry air as it will utilise the A.C

Hi. I have the advance model with 2k on the clock. I am getting moisture on the glass roof and windows on the inside. Sometimes it forms water droplets but they have not dropped onto the seats yet. I have taken it back to the dealer and they said there is nothing wrong. Fogging also happens when driving. My concern is that this moisture will be going into the fabric etc and could eventually cause a musty smell or mould. Has anybody else had any issues. Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi this is the 1st Honda CV-R I have purchased which I’m very pleased with. But when you select a DAB radio channel on 9 inch screen it only shows the station details ie name . You don’t get a graphic colour display of the station you have tuned to is this correct? Thanks John

Hello , I want to convert my 4WD automatic to 2WD . It seems easy just remove the prop shaft between the gearbox and rear axle ? Has anyone done this ? If so any helpful tips would be appreciated . Thanks Bob

If you have stone chips occurring on your ENy:1 Ebay have an OES/Manufacturer selling all 4 mudflaps for £39 identical, (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266409322829) A little more affordable than Honda's £100+ Stops the sills from stone chips and the ingress of dirt on the door shuts as the seals at the bottom of the doors don't appear to prevent the ingress of water. It doesn't seem to have any effect on mileage either which someone thought might be the reason EV's don't have them (Drag)

Have you switched off the phone charging pad? This uses alot of power, in use or not.

Apparently, it doesn't have a mute button. One must switch off the audio.

Many thanks Trevor, I am on the hunt for the radiator fan motor as it is not kicking in and garage thinks the fan motor is faulty . I'v tried searching but cannot find any that are suitable and not crazy money. Does any other Honda use the same fan motor that you know of ? Manh thanks for the help

Hi. My 2007 1.8 petrol needs a new lock actuator. There are a few on eBay, but not for the exact same model of FRV. I’m assuming Honda wouldn’t have changed the actuators between years and engine types, but does anyone know for sure? Thanks

Thank you Trevor... No luck with the books and even dealer (suggested to replace it).

I wonder if it is an 'average' fuel consumption meter and has settled down after a mixed driving style if you reset it then it may go back to the actual consumption figure Alternatively, a service may be due and the engine oil quality can contribute to a decrease in economy if the cylinder compressions are reduced with the oil not sealing the rings/bore as efficiently
