  2. Ah that's an even better price then! Clutches can wear faster when towing heavy weights (twin axle car trailer for example) but it is also the stop-start motion on the transmission which is being pushed to the limit unless the trailer is braked and then this can reduce the 'whiplash' on the transmission components

  4. Hi....welcome to the Club What happened with the original engine. how did it fail?
  5. Hi Tony Perfect car for the environment by the sounds of it A lot less to go wrong with that generation of CR-V as well so more suited to taking onto rough and unmade roads Good to have you onboard!
  6. Hi - I am a newcomer to this forum, hope someone can give me some advice, please. Could not open the door with the remote fob to disarm the alarm, put the key in drivers door,when opened, alarm went off, unable to stop it until used the remote key pressed up against the front passenger door, alarm stopped. I am now concerned about opening the door, If the alarm is activated, will it stop if the battery is disconnected or is there a backup supply to the alarm? Regards - Alan

  8. I would advise you to contact your local honda dealership.
  9. Mine is very low range too on first full charge 140 miles. Ave 1.7m/kw
  10. Is your CRV a gen 2 or gen 3 and which engine is it? Great advice from Trevor, you can also a get special tool for rounded nuts to remove them, careful with the amount of torque you use or you could snap the bolt/stud!

  12. Hello all, I have a Honda CR-V EX i-VTEC automatic, model year 2007. Last month, my car failed to start when I turned on the engine. It seems the battery had a dead cell and was replaced under warranty. A week later, the car failed to start again! I called RAC, who conducted a battery test and found no issues. They jump-started the car for me, and I was able to take it to the garage, where they confirmed that the battery is healthy and did not show any drops. This morning, my car failed to start once more (Second time since changing battery). It has been 9 days since RAC jump-started it, and my new battery is flat. When I turn off the car, I first switch off the headlights, then turn off the engine. I ensure that no lights are visible when the car is locked. The glove compartment does not have a light, nor does the boot, so I am clueless. Has anyone experienced their battery being drained like this before? The next step would be a parasitic draw test, but I can only do this on the 15th. Are there any DIY troubleshooting steps I can take? Update: I got my car started and fully charged. I went to test blue tooth and it didn't work. So I assumed i don't have blue tooth module. This morning, after parkin up at work I pressed the voice button, and to my surprise it made a noise and then I said English, and it returned a command! So it looks like, yesterday the Bluetooth Module failed to turn on, but this morning it worked?! I have checked YouTube, but do not know how to remove this Bluetooth add in. Regarding AFS, when I go over bumps my AFS switches on. Heated seats, driving seat does not work, but the light on the switch turns on. Is this an element that needs replacing? Right front bumper parking sensor. on the plastic cover, it's scratched up so I imagine the scratches are interpreted as objects. Can this plastic lens be replaced? Thanks, Mo
  13. Hello, I am looking to purchasing a Honda HR-V 2022 model this summer, but will buying a barely used one (less than 1,000 miles). It says on Honda’s website that you have 5 years/90,000 (whichever comes first) warranty on the battery, I want to know how long will the hybrid battery last on the HR-V? I know this varies based on a lot of factors but I plan to keep this car at least 6-7 years. So I want to see what I am in for in the long run. What happens after 5 years/90,000 miles? Does Honda do extended warranty on the battery? How much would it cost roughly to change the battery (worst case scenario out of warranty)? I will call Honda tomorrow for further information but wanted to check here if anyone has any information on this? Thank you.
  14. Hi BRAZZER RN, how are those new tyres doing are you pleased with the ride etc. Alan
  15. Thanks Guys. It's great to know there are other like me. Before I had my first CRV, I'd get a new status symbol car and then start looking for what I would have next. My first old Mk1 CRV was a breath of fresh air. It was joy and freedom. My phone cost more than the car I was driving but to me it was fun on wheels, what's more it had a picnic table in the book. Cheers Jon
  16. @johnccwatkins Hi John, thanks for your post. If i was you then would take it up with honda head office. It's totally unaccceptable & they should give you a courtesy car. Otherwise go legal with court.
  17. Hi All, Does anyone know where I can find an original Honda part (cambelt) for my 1984 honda accord 3gx 1829cc. At honda main dealers they say it could take a month to get the part so I am just trying to find if it can be done quicker. But I want an OEM part not a copy which I know will be quicker. Thanks Johnny
  18. Turned out to be the ignition switch - One from a 98 civic fitted with minor modification.
  19. only you can tell - no one here can see your car
  20. I dont know about the sport, but I have a 2019 model too, and dealer said the same - reasoning was it t=didnt have the mount for the spare wheel - rubbish - it does, its under the carpet
  21. I'm getting this problem too. Tyres all have similar depth but miss-matched brands - front are both goodyear, but one rear is a michelin, and the other a pirelli - I've only had the car 2 weeks so not me - do you think this could be the issue
  22. Hi Barri 👋 Welcome 🙏 🤗
  23. I'm in the process of buying a 2010 CRV with 190000 miles and the airbag light is on. Did you find out what the issue was with yours?
  24. UPDATE 2. I had problems separating ball joint from the arm, I cut the arm where it located into the ball joint threaded section allowing easy separating. I also used a bit of scaffold pole to drive the ball joints back in as access using my equipment was limited from above I.e the hub mountings got in the way of the c clamp insertion tool. Just checked the tracking, spot on though the steering wheel is not completely central, but that's just a case of equal turns on both track rod ends to bring it back where it should be. That's it . Finished. Car has 140k its the 1.8 petrol engine UK spec.
