Honda General Discussions

Hi did start a DPF thread on the Accord forum but guessing it probably applies to more than one vehicle in their range. But as I did not get a reply tried to hunt around the net but came up blank so put a complaint into Honda. Did get too escalations but not much joy help wise but thought I would share their reply and my take on it. Probably do this in two parts. first up an overview then tomorrow will try and clarify how the first stage DPF regen works as that really threw me. forgive me if I mess up with any images. Honda’s position on their diesel cars is:- “Please be advised that the Diesel Particulate Filter is an exhaust component which…

Hi, wonder if anyone has successfully installed an isofix car seat on the rear central isofix points and still been able to use the passenger side seatbelt?! I've installed the seat no problem but now the seatbelt plug is impossible to reach, despite the seat being listed as compatible with this position. Thanks!

Hello. I am looking to sell my beloved Honda Accord due to the new ULEZ rules. It is a great car and has been with me and my family since new. It has low mileage and has been looked after. It's never broken down. It would be good to see it go to a 'good home' even though I need to give it up. Does anyone know where best I can sell it or advertise it?

I am going to register my FR-V (currently UK reg, 2006 car) in France. Therefore I need to change the dipped beam, which in most cars means changing the whole headlamp. I am really struggling to find any LHD headlight unitss, at a price which is anything like sensible, so I just wanted to check if anyone had had any experience of adapting the existing RHD headlamps ? There's no hidden adaptor (BMW style), or work-around??? Changing them to Xenon seems to be illegal and doesn't create a decent, sharp light pattern which the French Controle Technique looks for. My question sounds a bit daft, but I have to ask.. I have been looking for used (or even new) h…

Hi, I have this whistling noise when I change gear and lift my foot off the peddle can anybody advise.

Hi I have a 2009 CRV ES1-CTDi and want to upgrade the Sat Nav Radio CD unit to one that has Blue Tooth hands free capability. Can anyone recommend a reliable source with reasonable prices.I have looked on e-bay but the only one I can see is nearly £600 and it doesn't give any dimensions so not sure it would fit the dash board. Any help appreciated. Tony

Advice please - Tyres for a 2005 CRV the front are 215 - 65-16 T the back 215-65-16 H.

Hello Please can you help. I am looking at buying a used to Honda CRZ . The reviews say the ride quality is very poor and on British Roads it is even worse. Can any owners possibly confirm this. I mainly do short distances. I don't want any backache. I have not road tested one due to Lockdown

The Average Family Car. Research commissioned by Honda in line with the launch of the all-new HR-V e:HEV The average car will see 30 day trips, 2,496 songs played - and 24 spillages in the typical year. A study of 2,000 motorists revealed the average vehicle will cover off 62 miles per week – that’s 3,224 annually – and see three bouts of car sickness while doing so. While a whopping 43 hours will be spent sitting in stationary traffic in total across the year. One quarter of drivers say they’ve also enjoyed key milestone moments in their beloved car, such as witnessing a child’s first word or making an emotional trip to take offsp…

My 2005 CRV had a new clutch fitted at the start of this year before that and after when the weather is dry the clutch often becomes squeaky in wet it it never happen so recently I've been spraying WD40 though the gap behind the front wheels and to date it's seems to have done the trick! Could this have lubricated the problem I don't know but fingers crossed 😏

Honda have announced a 20 bhp power upgrade for the UK Mugen Civic. what would you give to have this?

I posted this in the HR-V forum, so I hope it’s ok to post here as well - not sure if this is covered in another thread - forgive me if it has already been discussed. Has anyone else experienced the tyre deflation warning coming on even though there is nothing wrong with the tyre pressures? I have to initialise the system each and every journey. It has got worse, too over the months and I doubted myself so I got the tyres checked - but they are fine. Is it possible to replace the sensor (wherever it is) or even disable the function altogether as it is not particularly useful even when working properly. I drive an HR-V EX CVT ‘67 plate …

I bought a new ENY1 in March 2024. I knew that the total miles at 100% was rubbish (about 250) but I didn't expect my surprise on the first cold day today I charged it overnight last night when the air temperature was -3 deg C. When I started the car this morning it said 100% charged. It also said 138 miles to empty I rang the Honda garage where I bought it from and they said I could expect a drop in cold weather as it didn't have a heat converter Can this be correct.? They did offer to have a look at to see if the computer needed a memory dump etc Thanks everyone Philip

Lights and signalling – 17.8% failure rate 4.5m cars fail because of lamps, reflectors and electrics every year.

Hi. I have a Thatcham category Stoplock Pro Elite Steering wheel Lock.Unfortunately it is not suitable for my Honda Jazz 2022 model as it has to sit right over the horn !!! Can anyone suggest a decent alternative please. Thanks.

Hi Members, its a long Shot probably, but does any Member know which Tyres can offer a comfortable ride on my 4 X 4 1997cc CRV Exec , Not lookinking at Michelin or the expensive makes , maybe a middle range price tyre, with our roads in such a shocking state, I thought a softer make of tyre would give a more pleasant comfortable ride. All replies would be appreciated Many Thanks BAZZER RN 1

Hi where can I buy genuine car seat covers for a honda civic please

Hi have a 2 year old crv and can honestly say its the most unreliable car I have ever owned , has anyone experienced reliability issues . Honda uk were no help at all . Last Honda I ever buy , I had a Toyota before this and it never missed a beat .

I was recently contacted by a music producer, who heard I had a few Skylines. They wished to use one on an upcoming Music video they were filming for an upcoming artist called 'Ragz Originale' Shameless Selfie ! It was a fun couple of days up in a London Studio, lots of special effects. I have noooo idea what the end video is going to look like, as each seat was filmed out of order ! Very excited to see the end result. Some special effects and lighting added to the car for a more futuristic look. Music video will be out end of March 2018 ish, we are really excited Loads more photos of the Ragz Originale …
