Do your interior lights come on when you open the doors? Have all the fuses been checked? It really needs to go onto a live data session to see what inputs the BCM is seeing. From what you've said it sounds like a problem with the BCM. You havent mentioned if that a reset had been done when the battery was changed. Also the battery management system might need a reset also. Could be why the stop/start isn't working. anybody with half a brain would be close to finding the problem on live data.

Why has all the above been changed? Who has changed them? They're stabbing in the dark, mate.

@OLSTERMEISTER civic dtec 1.6. new battery new alternator new battery sensor auto stop start still not working. car has been told it has a new battery. also almost around same time folding mirrors, electric windows and alarm wont work fob has new battery tried all the reset procedures for all the above issues. im almost a grand in on both problems and no one can fix it. any ideas?

Hi all. thanks for the in. i have Civic 1.6 Dtec. Love the car hate the gremlins. auto stop start issues are killing me. £600 down with new alternator, new battery and now new battery sensor and it still isnt working properly. Very intermittent but mostly not working. car has been on OBD and there are no faults showing. Car has been told it has a new battery. Can anyone throw some light on this?

Hi all, I have just inherited a 1981 Honda Civic Hondamatic 3dr in Shetland White with a blue interior. My grandad bought it new, grandmother took it on when he passed now left to me following her passing. Looking to get it back on the road properly following a video made by The Brake Show. Any help/advice/parts is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sean

OK, so mine's done 113k, what's the highest on here?

Evening all We all know these cars are incredibly reliable, but I suspect the weak link is the auto box. Anyone any idea as the the expected life expectancy, assuming scheduled fluid changes, no towing (not that I expect many people would try to tow anything given the limitations of the petrol/auto combination...) etc? Thanks, Rob

Hi, my vehicle is suffering rear inner edge tyre wear. I am aware there is some adjustment that can be made on the lower arms, my question is - is there any adjustment that can be made to rear wheel alignment. I believe that the 'adjustment ' nut impacts on the rear camber and is adjustable for each wheel. Anyone can provide some more information on the subject or point me in the right direction ? My vehicle has clocked up 145k miles and has always been a bit heavy on rear tyres, even after 4 wheel alignment at a reputable garage chain, in fact on that occasion an adjustment was made but insufficient adjustment to be within tolerance. The cars history is known and no accident damage that could account for my problem. BTW the car drives fine and handles well in any weather, its just I fancy having a go at getting it to be more gentle on tyres. Thanks Chris.

It's has done well for 20 years so a hole about the size of a pin head is good going, so think my spot of glue will do the job for now.

Well I suppose its done well over all these years but they can get a bit thin over time with all the shifting back and forwards. I replaced one on a 3rd generation CR-V and it was very easy to pull the trim off and attach the new gaiter but kept pulling out as the material was too thick and rigid

Well it does seem you have to remove a far bit of trim to access the gator so I've used a small spot of glue to mend the very small hole and it looks OK. I do love my Honda but unlike my Ford Transit where you could get to things with ease. Honda's are so well made it's a task to do anything I'm happy to say!!

Afternoon, is it easy to replace the gear shift gator on a 2005 CRV, fingers crossed I don't need to remove all the dash etc!! Alan

If you are still doing the radio codes, please can you get me the code for S/N 28086508. I would be extremely happy if you can as my wife reminds me every day. Thank you

I think if they are original roof rails and they are now 19 years old and I would therefore place as little weight on them as possible to be on the safe side

Hello there I have a 2006 Honda FR-V Sport (2.0L petrol) with original Honda roof bars (but not the later roof rails). The manual doesn't specify the safe dynamic roof load limit for the vehicle unfortunately. Searches online coming up with wildly different figures in the range of 50Kg-75Kg-100Kg. Does anyone know where I can find this information as despite searching, im still none the wiser. Many thanks Duncan

that's a brilliant ad and wished other manufacturers could do something this ingenious - now they just focus on the lifestyle aspect and forget its even a car.

I've not had much luck buying from China via Ebay lost a few ££££££ so wouldn't chance it unless you can afford to take a chance.

Just read this , my frv radio is rubbish, I've read somewhere that the earth to the aerial is very poor on frv. However... I've noticed on a Chinese selling express site there offering bezels that allow the fitting of a double din radio into the opening in the dash, when I started looking honda did them for around £150 ! However years on and that Chinese site sells something for a few quid. I haven't bought one or know anyone who has but a few quid is worth a bet if it solved it for you. I did read somewhere ( maybe here) an easier removal process for the radio rather than prolonged strip out required. Hope that helps. Chris

Hi all my 2009 Frv reversing unit failed so I bought a cheap no make system, drilled out existing sensors and fitted new sensors and wires it in, a wire to reversing light and wires to the beeper ( fixed next to existing sounder). I think I got the 'kit' for under £15.00 and apart from a little faffing around its been working for the last few years. I didn't have the equipment to check the original control unit or each individual ultrasonic sensor so it seemed to logical cheap fix.
