Hello everyone, It's a pleasure to be on board. I have a '99 Honda Ballade 150i Luxline automatic. For those unfamiliar with this model from the South African market, it's basically a Civic. My automatic gearbox recently started shifting late, and eventually shifting roughly, and I discovered that the shift solenoid is dead. Unlike the more common engine sizes, the 150i auto only has one shift solenoid on the transmission. It looks different from any of the civic/ballade solenoids I've seen for sale online (I assume these are for different engine sizes). I'm having a tough time finding a replacement and I think it would help to figure out the part number. Can anyone please help with this? The only number stamped onto the solenoid is the 5-digit number pictured. Thanks! Hond

Hello guys, I am the proud owner of a 1999 Honda Ballade 150i Luxline automatic. Before I got it, it was only driven by a little old duck every Sunday. I'm pleased to be on board. Hond.

Hello and Welcome 🙂

Hi everyone. Although I have owned probably around a dozen Civics from a 3 door mk5 through to a 5 door mk8, I've never joined this club. However, I've just bought myself an EP2 and finally decided to join. She needs some work but I'm still chuffed to own her. Cheers, Colin

following on from the above, I've checked the fuse, is there a relay for the washers? The rear is working but both front are not i've now found and don't really know fpr how long, Done the headlights on dipped and all the other tests Alan

My 2005 CRV has a near side (is that left or right??} leaking headlight washer, knowing what I'm like with anything DIY is it an easy job to do and any suggestion where to get one from please, like it to be a Honda part not some Chinese bit!!! Alan

My HRV was recently Serviced by local Arnold Clark garage that I’d bought it from who assured me that although they were not Honda main dealers ( their Honda place is miles away) all work would be Honda approved and Warranty compliant, so I included a service plan when buying. Picked the car up and it sounds like a freight train. Arnold Clark garage say basically “ nothing to do with us Guv, we used approved oil and filter, take it to a main dealer “ called the Arnold Clark Honda folk ( at the start of July) and they said “Earliest we can look at car is 11/9/2024, if you want it done before then take it to another Honda Dealership” Took it to another independent Honda dealership, they say it could be the oil and filter used that’s the issue as uncle Arnold’s lads used “Fram” filter rather than Honda and that Honda would probably reject warranty as non manufacturer parts used. Raised this with Arnold Clark who say “ all parts are E.U. O.E. Licensed and warranty should apply. Have been trying to get a “Yes/ No “ answer from Honda U.K. ( strangely I seem to be dealing with Poland ?) to no avail. Does anybody know if Honda accept “after market” Fram Filters under the Honda Warranty? Does anyone have a U.K. number for Honda - the 8000 number takes me to Poland? Anybody experienced this kind of top end racket before following service? Am loath to go to the Independent in case the warranty won’t apply and/ or the noise is down to non warranty cock-up. Adding insult to injury, the Independent Dealership tells me the car has a five year warranty and service package in place so I was mis-sold the Arnold Clark product!

I have a 2017 HRV. Over the past week I have noticed that my miles until empty reading and fuel gauge have not been working as they normally would. My miles until empty will be on 600 and then while driving randomly drop to around 400. This will then repeat and go back up to around 600. My fuel gauge is also not going down as it normally would. Any ideas?

In relation to the Honda + App. The system advises that vehicle has started on my phone, however this does not happen, any thought.

I suppose this topic has been on here before, but, here goes, on my Jazz 2018 tried everything, but get on the motorway and on it comes, does Honda recognize this as a factory fault or do they refuse to create a fix for this?

Hi, I have the above error code on my 2009 honda crv. It says it's the 2nd clutch pressure switch fault. Has anyone experienced this fault before? If so is it an easy fix? Does anyone know the part number for the switch and where it's located and how to get access please. Thank you.

Phones you can carry around with you, that take pictures and can make video calls. When we had our first telephone connected in our home I was about six years old. It was SO exciting! Our number was 9 as we were the ninth telephone in the village. It was heavy, black and was connected to the wall in one corner of our lounge. Not everyone had a camera and now we walk around with phones in our pockets which can take pictures too – as well as a multitude of other amazing things! I remember fantasising with my brother and sister about phones of the future. ‘What if you could see the person you were talking to as well! Just imagine!” Now children are growing up with Skype and Face Time and think nothing of it. Instant access to information of any sort at your fingertips. When I was young, and indeed right into adulthood, if you needed to find something out you looked it up in a reference book. If you didn’t have one at home – in an encyclopedia, atlas, dictionary etc – you went to your local library Posting parcels in pharmacies, newsagents etc. This is in here because I had to post a large parcel last week. Here in the UK, Royal Mail were the one and only postal service in the 50s and 60s. My parcel would have cost a fortune via The Post Office (who I normally use) so I researched couriers. I used a well known courier firm and located a convenient drop off point which happened to be a small pharmacy a few miles from where I live. It felt strange to be at a pharmacy counter, next to people picking up prescriptions and buying aspirin, to hand over my parcel. Cars with radios which can also tell you which way to go. Radios years ago were too big and cumbersome to be carried around and most also needed to be connected to mains electricity. Being able to listen to the radio in the car wasn’t something which ever occurred to us as a possibility. People saying that red meat, bread, wheat, dairy, tea, coffee,sugar etc etc is bad for you. First of all, I do know that we are now far better informed about allergies and about food which is better taken in moderation. What makes me smile is that back in the 1950s, these things were the staples of life and were all considered to be ‘good food’. My grandmother on my dad’s side loved feeding people up and really did think that sugar was ‘good for you’. She would be more than a little puzzled to see the complicated labels on food Clothes made overseas which can be bought for less than it would cost you to make them. In my childhood nobody we knew could afford to buy all their clothes in shops. My mum made most of our clothes and evenings were spent knitting or using her sewing machine. By the time my children were in school it was cheaper to buy ready made clothes than to knit or sew your own. Mass-produced knitwear and cheaper synthetic fibres meant that it cost me far more to go into a wool shop and buy the yarn to knit a sweater. I still enjoy knitting but as an enjoyable pastime rather than an essential Flying being commonplace and affordable. Nobody I knew flew in my childhood. I used to see planes in the sky but I never considered that ‘normal’ people might one day be using aircraft as a means of travelling to visit family or go on holiday. Buying things with a piece of plastic. Back in the 50s and 60s, we had cash and we had cheques. I remember my mum and dad using cheque books in shops when we occasionally did a ‘big shopping trip’ such as to buy new winter coats and shoes. The rest of the time it was notes and coins. Cheque books looked like the above for many years (courtesy of Wikipedia) with the diagonal lines across and the account holder’s address always written on the back in the presence of the shopkeeper. I would now struggle to find my cheque book although I do have one somewhere! I remember the first TV ad for a credit card. It was a Barclaycard advert and it featured a girl in a bikini heading out to the beach and shops with just a rectangular piece of plastic tucked into her waistband.

Nice!

Nice machines....big BHP - usually require big wallets as well. Sold all my powerful old cars and now look at economy 🙂

Let us know how it goes - always nice to know the outcome, thanks

Its likley to be the door switch. Basically, your car doesnt know the door has been opened so, re-locks the doors incase you accidently unlocked it in your pocket. My renault trafic did it, was a door switch. Id imagine its, as your picture, that.

As above, if its complaining about a disk error its highly unlikley to be the disk, its the alpine head unit thats fitted as stock, the DVD lens unit fails. I ripped mine out and fitted a new Sony head unit with apple car play... much better.

Mines 2007 and its chain. Got a photo of the engine? Im not sure if all the MK2's were chain with the K24A engine.

I changed mine for Denso ones, and also Intermotor ones. Ended up just putting the genuine ones back. My car didnt like the other ones, all sorts of engine management lights.

I get this... oddly after i replaced the rear shocks and springs with Monroe units! I think maybe the top mounts are tired and need changing, will find out soon.

I have a pretty extensive tool collection (I'm an engineer) and found the only tools I could use with success were, 1. a quite short ring spanner with a fairly deep 90 degree crank each end (not modified), it only allowed a limited turn so was slow to undo. 2. I also used a short combination spanner. Once the nut was loose, it turned freely by hand. It was more of a pain to replace than to remove. I used a magnet on a rod to position the nut, then managed to turn it a little with a screwdriver just to start it, then by hand with a final tighten with the ring spanner. It fell off many times before i achieved success. I placed a cloth to cover the area, to prevent the nuts falling into any voids and getting lost. Ive now been driving the car regularly with no change to the good pedal firmness and smooth operation. The aftermarket slave cylinder appears to be operating ok still, time will tell.

Your wireless module behind the driver side door panel is not working properly. You will need to replace it with one that is fully functional. I've had two in my wife's 2001 CR-V that stopped working because water got in them. So when I bought this last one I made sure to put it in a medium sized sturdy Ziploc bag with the seal opening facing down, cut a small slit in the top left for the harness to get through then ziptied that part down and used a drill to quickly screw the screws back to keep the bag airtight where the screws go. Then I sealed the bottom. So far no water has penetrated the new module. The problem is water was seeping down into the module from the inner side of the door panel in my wife's CR-V. I don't know why, but this is a design defect in my opinion. I don't understand why the door weather strip can't keep water out of the driver side door panel, but my 2018 Honda Fit has the same problem, but worse! Water actually travels down and soaks the floor on the driver's side after a rain, and I have to dry it. I've actually called Honda and asked if there was a recall for this and the said no. Well, there should be!
