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..

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

2008 Honda Jazz auto.Passenger wing mirror casing broken & no longer produced by Honda. Anyone selling one ? Red if possible

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

I'm sure if there is corrosion around the area as long as it hasn't gone too deep then possibly it could be taken apart, cleaned up and a new gasket with sealant fitted

Fine looking machine! How did it get on with the MOT test?

That looks aweful, what ever possessed them to cut it that badly. At the very least I would be tempted to tidy it up with a hacksaw so it doesn't look that bad or maybe put some trim over the edges (I think Halfords sell some door trim that may work)

I would strip the pads out and copperslip the contact points in the caliper carrier bracket then refit to see if that makes a difference

Have you fitted any aftermarket electrical equipment (dashcam, satnav, stereo) as this may have affected the power supply?

Not sure, but sounds like it needs reprogramming to learn the shift positions. A Honda dealership should be able to perform this operation Sometimes (on other vehicle makes) it can be done manually by resetting the system and driving it to learn the shift patterns but I think it may be best to take to Honda on this occassion

Agree with Scoobs and also the market dictates that it is audible for security and insurance reasons. My Alfa Romeo Mito was not switchable to silent arm/disarm but if you set the region to the Netherlands it would be possible to switch off.

possibly temperature control not working properly, but would require diagnosis to eliminate this as an issue. I would first check the cabin filter is not completely clogged up and not allowing air to flow through - a cheap and easy fix if this was the case

Yes, very sad indeed that some of these stores are no longer around
