All Activity

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

Here is a selection of thermostats available on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=thermostat&_sacat=0&_from=R40&selcontext=productType%3ACAR_AND_TRUCK&selvel=Variant%3APetrol%2BMPV%2CCar+Make%3AHonda%2CCars+Type%3A1.7%2B16V%2CPlat_Gen%3ARN%2CCars+Year%3A2003%2CBodyStyle%3AFWD%2B--%2BRN%2CModel%3AStream%2CEngine%3A1668cc%2B92KW%2B125HP%2BD17A2%3BD17A5

its usually written in the service book, audio handbook or a separate card in the vehicle wallet If not then the dealer should be able to look up the number (probably for a small charge)

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

We have a HRV elegance , bought in April 2024 and are very pleased with it. The fuel consumption was 60 mpg up until the last couple of months when it has dropped to 57 with the same mixed use of long distance and short trips. Is this cooler weather? We always drive in "B"

Hi all, trying to source a thermostat for 2003 1.7 Honda stream. Reg RG03BYH. Any help much appreciated Thank you

Hi Guys, I have a Honda Insight 2012 and changed the battery recently and the satnav is asking for the pin but I donot have it. How can I reset or make it work. I did take it to authorized dealer and is suggesting to replace with new one. Any options to resolve this without buying a new set?

I'm not sure, my mechanic didn't suggest welding it. I could ask him. He did mention that it looked corroded, and he said something about the replacement gasket not being as big as the OEM one which may have contributed to corrosion, not sure if I understand what he meant by that i.e. why the size of the gasket would impact corrosion. But I look at it myself - only he looked at it.

Unfortunately, aftermarket parts don't always last the distance like original parts. Can it be welded as this may be sufficient to keep it going as long as there are no leaks

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

not sure of the differences but worth asking Honda parts department who could give you the relevant part numbers

My 2006 Honda FR-V, 2.0l petrol has failed MOT with an exhaust leak, co content exceeding limits and lambda outside limits. My mechanic has pointed to the centre silencer, which is leaking at the joint with the rear section of the exhaust. Four years ago, I replaced the exhaust center silencer box with a pattern brand (EuroFlo) - I can't remember if as the OEM spare part was even available at that time. Is it normal for this component to wear out so quickly? I'm still using the original OEM exhaust for the rear section and that has lasted for 18 years and 100,000 miles without issues, whereas the replacement has failed after just four years. The EuroFlo part is still available, though the cost has doubled since I last purchased it and I'm probably not going to see much spare change from £300 to get it done, plus I have to source it myself as the mechanic says his suppliers are unable to obtain it. As far as I'm aware there's no other option here, any thoughts?

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

There are a few E:NY1 members in the forum now, so hopefully one of them might know the answer

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