Honda General Discussions

Hi everyone I am mainly here as I have never ever driven a Honda before apart from a test drive on an auto 1.6 diesel SR about 2 months ago which I liked. I am currently looking at a year old Civic saloon 1.6 diesel SR. I was wondering if anyone had one, any thoughts, real world mpg and anything else you could think of that may help advise me before I buy one! I currently drive a BMW 118d sport automatic 5 door so that’s what I am transferring from. My reasoning for looking at this car is reliability, running costs, practicality (future proofing for a potential family), warranty due to age and I actually like the look of the car. …

Hello Honda owners, I am in the market for a new car. (Used) I’m thinking of a Honda Civic but here’s where my problem lies.

Hi, I recently bought a 1990 Civic EF sedan 1.4 dual carb. Im 19 years old so this is the first car I've ever bought myself, I love the EF sedans and am so please with my new car. Great place to start to get to know about working on cars and such. I am really struggling to get insurance though. I got one day insurance to get it back home when i bought it, but now i'm properly looking into getting insurance for it, it's proving very difficult. It's either a quote so high I cant afford it or it just gets declined :( not sure why as I am not going to be driving this daily as I have a van for work, and its a 30 year old 1.4 so it's slow. If anyone …

whats it worth ? is it collectable ? manual gearbox 1399 cc year 2000 imported from Cyprus, rare 5 door in uk? approx. 70,000 miles

Hey fellas, nice to meet you all. So, I'm having a bit of an issue here and would like to have the opinion of all of you. If anyone owns a CB125R please do help me with this. For the past few days I have been trying to register my new Bike, my issue is, the model as per Honda website is CB 125 R, but, that is not true. When I checked the documents that I have received from Honda it states as CBF 125 NA. The issue is, when filling up the model in any website or by phone, the only models they have are CBF 125 N Abs (13bhp) or CB 125 R (13bhp). Not only there is a difference of model there but also the price for the premium. For the CB 125 R - 5…

Good Morning All, just wondering if anyone has had issues using supermarket diesel rather than a brand name such as Esso or Shell. I know the brands claim that their diesel has better cleaning agents and you should get better mpg, but is that the case. Any suggestions

Hi I have a Honda Civic 1907 brilliant car 👍 but there’s a problem with the electrics at the moment and I don’t know which route to go to get it fixed. It was suggested to me to try this forum as a start. Basically on the dashboard the clock is only partly lit up, a lot of the time the windscreen wipers at times have a mind of their own and so does my key fob-which will work one day but not the next! Has anybody else had this problem? thankyou In anticipation ☺️

I need to find a way to replace the key fob on my 1998 Honda Civic. The rubber button on one side has become so worn that all that can be seen is the plastic part underneath. This is hard to reach and becoming more difficult by the day to use. Honda UK says that it's no longer supported, and so they can't get the parts.

Hello there, I hope you are all well! I live in Dublin and drive a 1977 Honda Civic as my every day car (I mention this as everyone asks). My indicator switch went a year ago and I had an electrical guy fix it, but now it has gone again and I need to replace it or else stick buttons on the dash. I would really like to keep it the way it is! If anyone could help source one or give me an idea of where I could, I would be really grateful! It is my baby!

Hi I hope this topic hasn't been posted recently as I couldn't see a search for recent topic. I'm looking for a good manual for repairs preferably a cd manual with good screen shots and step by step guides for jobs to de done on my Honda for when the time comes. The Honda model I have is a diesel 2014 I DTEC Honda Civic 1.6L. I've just bought it from an approved dealer but may want to do some jobs whatever I feel brave enough to do later. All information on the best repair guides appreciated. I couldn't see anything on the Honda website unfortunately. Thanks.

Hello all, I've got to change my rear trailing arm bushes again. I've ordered some that have arrived but they look different to the ones I purchased a couple years ago. The website states that they are for a mk1 crv but I don't understand why they have a different shape?
