hi so I have two remote fobs for a 2009 Honda Civic and they are beginning to not work very well. You have to press loads of times for the thing to lock or unlock. I have obviously cleaned the connections and changed the batteries, but they must be 16 years old.....so they are wearing out. so my question is this, can you replace the fobs 3rd party without having to pay the million pound to Honda? I noticed Amazon selling the shell to these fobs, but they have like 3 star ratings so I dont trust them. The keys still work in the doors, but would prefer the fobs to work thanks

Have you looked at sites in the EU or the US

Hi, Philip, I too have an ENY:1 the figures you give do resemble the real world, sadly the WLTP rubbish is way, way off. It should be stopped as it gives one a false impression of achievable range, a range one could never reach. You can however gain a little mileage by pre-conditioning the vehicle prior to a journey, especially by charging fully and leaving the charger on and connected, obviously, this uses mains power to pre-heat the battery and cabin, this I have found gives about 10-15% extra miles when in ECO. Sadly, the ombudsman will do nothing until we get a more suitable way of range indication. Winter doesn't last too long anyway so hang in there. What's not fit for purpose is the WLTP not the car. Honda have to comply with this ridiculous way of range estimation as all manufacturers do.

Hi Alan sorry I didn’t reply earlier, a manic week !! thank you so much for your time. I have just tried all three sites, but nothing is available on there. best wishes tiz

My 2021 CR-V went into Brayley’s Honda, Ewell on 17 December 2024 and they identified the problem as the Brake Pedal Simulator. The part was ordered on 18 December, none were available in the UK so the part was put on ‘back order’ and finally arrived from Japan on 14 March. With the repair completed, I got the car back on 19 March 2025 after 92-days! Have to say that Brayley’s, who thought I qualified for a complementary hire car were pretty good but Honda UK were awful. They said that I was not entitled to a hire car as my vehicle was out of warranty even though the repair was being fixed as a ‘warranty’ repair and Honda were picking up the full cost of the part and labour. Brayley’s loaned me a vehicle for 4-days so that I could visit my 99-year-old father on his birthday but I had to pay £30 to cover insurance. The MOT was due while the vehicle was in the garage and Brayley’s picked up the cost as a good will gesture – well done Brayley’s. One of the reasons I purchased a Honda in the first place was due to their reliability…..As I left the service area/showroom one of the sales people ask me if I wanted to discuss burying a new Honda – what do you think I said?

I bought this car in March 2024 new. I was told that it would lose miles if I used the aircon. I was not told that in Winter it would lose many many miles Are you experiencing the same? 250 published miles went down to 160 miles on full charge. I have spoken to Honda and they say there is nothing wrong with the car.!! My point is that this car is not fit for purpose Does anyone have any comments? I am waiting for the Motor Omdudsman to respond Regards Philip

Good afternoon, I have a Honda Jazz 1.3, 2019 model. It's a lovely car, my 4th Jazz! Recently, the car has developed an issue with the steering, usually when the car is cold, such as first drive of the day. When I apply lock, there is a loud clunk which can be felt through the steering wheel. The more lock I apply, the worse it gets. Driving in a straight line, or with little lock, there is no problem. This issue seems to go away when the vehicle is warm. Naturally, I'm concerned as I feel this could be a serious issue. At first, I thought I'd run over a large stone or something, or uneven ground, that's how it feels. The clunk occurs in forward and reverse gears. Has anybody else had this issue and what was the remedy? Thanking you in anticipation, Des Roberts.

have you tried ebay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=39680-TLO-GO1YB&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4582968.m570.l1313

You can try on eBay (discount code at the top of the page) and still find Honda genuine fluids on there. I would definitely stick to genuine fluids if possible

If the symbol disappears once you have the brake pedal depressed then no problem but if still illuminated then could be a faulty pedal switch - try pressing harder on the brake pedal as well

Hi....welcome to the club Once Honda is in your blood you'll always come back to one.

Hi, I have recently bought a 1994 Honda Accord Aerodeck cb9, is there anyone breaking one of these? Need the control unit under the front passenger seat. TIA, Majid.

Hello, I live in Cornwall and recently acquired a 2012 1.4 Honda Jazz. I had a couple of Accords back in the 80’s and quite a few Honda bikes.

Hi Tiz, have you looked at these ites?? https://hondaspareparts.co.uk/collections/discontinued-parts?srsltid=AfmBOooXh0sPT4xdU8LmRqY3qqXYnlAdsMZQs1kzkyU7VYgAjns1oGDl https://www.parts-honda.uk/

Honda claim that only genuine honda 0W-40 should be used on the CVT transmission, stating that non-geuine oils can adversely effect the operation of the transmission. Is this true & if so where can the genuine fluid be purchase ata sensible (i.e non-Honda) price? Thank you

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please? My mum has had her Honda Legend since almost new and an ABS light has just come on. Apparently, it is the rear, nearside one and the part number is 57475-SZ3-010 i went onto EBay and put the reg number in. A different part came up, but it said it was compatible. Unfortunately, when I took it to the garage, we found it doesn’t fit and now too long ago to return! Honda say it’s been discontinued, as do some other sites. The car is in such a great condition … it’s only done around 58,000, so it’s really frustrating to have this problem in sourcing the replacement part. I thought I’d join your Group and see if anyone can help please? Thank you. Tiz

Thanks. Will give the differential fluid a go and if clutch maybe time will tell.

BTW I eventually realised that the mystery symbol instructs the driver to press on the brake pedal before turning on the ignition and starter. So it is nothing to do with the problem.But I would still welcome comments on my non-starting problem.

Dear Members, I am looking for some advice.I have a 2019 Honda Civic VTEC 1.0 litre, 3 cylinder petrol automatic. No problems until two days ago. To explain - I am currently unable to drive due to a medical problem but should be resuming driving on May 7th (7 month ban). In order to stop the battery going flat I have run the engine (with car stationary) every 3 weeks for 15 minutes. Two days ago I tried to start the car. It would not start and I thought a nearly dead battery was the problem. I trickle charged the battery for 24 hours and tried again today. Dash lights up and starter motor turns but engine will not start. Any suggestions on likely causes and solutions. I have ordered a jump starter battery pack device from, Amazon but will not arrive until tomorrow. I have attached symbols which show on instrument cluster.

Having searched on line and a large selection of breakers yards for parking sensors for my Buran silver 2011 Accord w/o success, how can I obtain these (Pt No 39680-TLO-GO1YB, Col. code NH743M ) w/o paying the megabucks required by the dealer?.

Members Very sad to have to let my CRV go. Petrol, auto, 2002 183,000 miles £250, been in the family from new..The cat was cut out/stolen while parked. Most times she passed her MOT first time and very sad to see her go. No MOT and not taxed. She would need to be towed or put on a trailer. Location Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.

Thanks have now turned the warning message on
