Dealer not too sure what the update for charging system actually does, tried three dealers and none knew.

Hi, this question relates to a 2003 Honda CRV Initial apologies as this question, in various forms has appeared before but I have tried all the solutions suggested. Occasionally I have had to change the battery and once reconnected I have all sorts of issues with the alarm going off. Normally I have found that messing with various things like using and holding the key in the door lock causes the frequency of the alarm going off to decrease till once the intervals exceed 2 min, then the alarm stop completely. Currently, after replacing the battery, the alarm only goes off if I lock the door (using either the key or the fob). Leave it unlocked and it’s fine. Three questions, is there a way to reset the alarm, and secondly, if all else fails is there a fuse i can pull and finally the nuclear option, is the horn the same as the warning horn, if not what wires can I cut. All responses appreciated

Hi there, I'm selling my much loved DC5, it's absolutely stunning and if you're in the market for a DC5 I strongly expect this is one of the very best out there. I really want the car to go to another enthusiast, someone who will look after it as well as myself. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/18463363 Thanks for looking.

Just for info, purchased a steel wheel and tyre from The Wheelshop in same size as OEM. It fits into the spare wheel well fine, but only just height wise.

Hi Philip My experience has been "HONDA THE POWER OF NIGHMARES" I bought my new e:NY1 on 30th September 2024 from Virtu Honda Stockton all excited with my new electric car. I was expecting not 256 as advertised but 200 miles range, as discussed with the salesman, which I would have been happy with. The first charge at 100% range was 148 miles 2nd charge 156 miles, to ensure the range was correct I had to drive with no heater no radio and at around 60 miles an hour in eco mode to get the 156 miles. I took it back and was told it would improve with use. As I am sure you will have guessed, it never improved. I asked Virtu Honda Stockton to test it and dropped it off 31st December 2024. I will not go into the details but on the 8th April 2025 they informed me that the car was ready to pick up, yes four months later. I advised them I wanted a new car as they had had the car longer than I had. I don't know what they have done to the car over the four months, they will not tell me. Virtu Honda Stockton admit they have had the car for an unreasonable timescale, and that they feel I should be given a replacement new car, but Honda UK say that I should pick up the car as four months is a reasonable timescale. I have refused to pick up the car until I get a full report on the work carried out and will then be going to the Motor Ombudsman service. Virtu Honda Stockton have at least tried to help, but Honda UK have been horrendous. I would recommend if you want to try an electric car keep away from Honda at all costs.

WLTP The test is conducted in a laboratory at an ambient temperature of 23°C, which is considered optimal for electric vehicles, really, in UK that isn't really acceptable. The WLTP cycle consists of four phases—Low, Medium, High, and Extra High—representing different driving speeds and conditions. These phases include starts, accelerations, stops, and varying speeds to mimic urban, suburban, and highway driving. No headwinds, side winds, hills, passengers, Etc. Etc. The energy consumption is measured by dividing the usable battery energy by the energy consumption per kilometer. For example, if a car has a usable battery capacity of 77 kWh and consumes 140 Wh/km, the WLTP range would be calculated as 550 km. While WLTP still doesn't account for variables like weather, driving style, or terrain, which can significantly impact real-world range

Update to above, does the car charge when "Away" from home ok?

Hi, have you checked the settings for charge, could be set to low, using the cars main screen. EV settings, charging current settings...

Hi.....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Thank you again, so much, for your help. I will contact them and hopefully get this part replaced for my mum. ironically, she is now thinking of selling her car and buying something smaller, so I will get this part replaced and then market it…. It’s far too good not to keep it going. Thank you again for your help, it really has been much appreciated. best regards Tina

I have had and EON 7kw home charger fitted by EON. It will only charge the car at about 2.5Kw. EON says the charger is OK and my Honda dealer says the same thing about the car. Any suggestions.

Hi! I'm Mogweb and I have just bought a nearly new e:Ny1

Is everyone with a EN:Y1 aware there is a software update at your dealer to update the charging of the vehicle, not sure what it is for exactly but getting it done this Friday. Possibly to cure faults arising following fast charge...

The cases are just that and tend to fit quite well - it refreshes the external look of the fobs and usually has new rubber button inserts. Check the remote microswitches inside are secure on the circuit board as sometimes they detach and require soldering

Its refreshing to hear good news about car dealerships as you don't often read too many positive reviews about them. Thanks for sharing with the club and glad it was all resolved at nominal cost to yourself

https://www.acurapartswarehouse.com/oem/acura~sensor~assy~r~rr~57470-sz3-010.html The above website (in the US) has the rear ABS part and links with your part number may be worth an email to them?

Hi Alan - I'm sorry again for the delay; I only see a reply if I go into the site and, during the week, I keep forgetting to go and check - with lots going on !! I have looked for the actual Part Number - even Acura which I think superceded the Honda Legend, but I'm always told the ABS sensor is discontinued. It just doesn't make sense, that Honda would only use this one ABS sensor on the one model and nothing else, so I find it hard to believe that I can't source one from any where.... it really is SO frustrating !! I'm so grateful to you for your time in trying to help me, thank you again. Tina

Me and the missus have owned this car for 15 years, we bought it with 14000 miles on in 2010 and it was my pride and joy. We are moving to Devon in the next few weeks and unfortunately we have to let it go as its not really suitable for the local roads down there. This has been my wifes daily driver for the most part as I have a company car. Its done 97000 miles and been serviced every 10k (some main dealer when it was newer). Its had the transmission fluid changed and Ive recently spruced it up with replacement bumpers and headlight restoration. It has had some paint but in general its a really tidy example with none of the usual water ingress that seems to be common. Air con works but needs re-gassing. Absolutley bomb proof this car. If there are no takers on here its getting traded in for the wifes new car. Sensible offers please. Photos to follow. A chance to own a genuine low mileage 2 owner car thats been looked after and cared for. Its not been hammered or driven hard. I even put the original Bridgestone Potenza tyres on it until they stopped making them. Message me if youre interested. Cheers

Hi all, Trying to find an aftermarket radio fascia for FRV but somehow I cant find anything, for a single DIN radio. What are you guys using please?

Could the ECON mode or other settings be influencing this behavior?

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed an issue with my Honda CR-V Diesel 1.6 i-DTEC while idling. The instantaneous fuel consumption fluctuates significantly, pulsing between 0 and 20 liters, even though the engine RPM remains stable. This behavior has me puzzled, and I’m wondering what might be causing it. I’ve considered factors like the ECON mode, auxiliary systems, DPF regeneration, and potential sensor glitches, but I’m not sure if these are the main reasons. Does anyone else with the same model experience this issue? Are there known solutions or insights into what might be going on? Any advice or shared experiences would be much appreciated—thanks in advance!

Why does the Honda CR-V Diesel’s instantaneous fuel consumption sometimes fluctuate significantly between 0 and 20 liters per hour while idling, even when the engine's RPM is steady?

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.
