Honda General Discussions

Hi all.I have just asked to review the service history for my Honda Jazz 2023 purchased Oct 2024.The history has that it had body repairs to the value of £950 only done a few days before purchase & a bumper swap a few days after my deposit was paid.Not a word was said about this.Has the Honda garage got the right to hide these details from me?I am now selling the car but obviously have to provide the service history for my p/ex which could maybe impact the sale???Would appreciate what owners thoughts are please.Thank you.

I think it's time to replace the battery on my 2006 FR-V (petrol). Looking around I can see various batteries priced from £35-£150, and it looks like different retailers use different codes for the same thing as well. For example there's Powerline 048 which costs less than £40, Yuasa YBX5053 / HSB053 which is around double that or something like Lion 158 Car Battery which falls somewhere in between. As far as I can tell all these batteries would be compatible so are there any advantages of getting the more expensive batteries vs the cheaper brands?

I hope this post is allowed here. Just wondering if anyone else is missing the H-Tune forums (which formerly had several different names). There was a wealth of technical information posted on there especially for some of the more rare models and I haven't found any other site that has quite the same level of engagement, community or information. Any ideas if it is likely to make a comeback or any other sites with similar levels of technical information on the less common models? Thanks!

Hi Guys Following on from my Topic regarding new tyres for my 2008 Mk3 Honda CRV Exec 4 + 4. I have finally decided to bite the bullet and have four new Royal Black Sport 225/60R18 Tyres fitted this week. Its a minefield trying to choose which tyres are suitable for your Vehicle, how you want to use them and Tyre Value as everyone appears to have a different preference on the choice of tyre they want. I chose the Royal Black Sport as its suits the purpose and requirements that I personally need for my motoring journeys. They are a good priced tyre at £ 81.98 each including vat, fitting and balancing and I was convinced after seeing the Google revi…

Car was excellent in every way until I left it at the airport for a week while I was away. Battery was flat(2.84v). My local dealer took it in and gave it the latest software update. While it has not gone flat yet, if it is left for a day or two the battery voltage drops to 12.22v to 12.11v each time having been on 12.60v to 12.70 v. Never had this before on any of my previous 6 Hondas. The dealer said that the latest update should cure the problem. I'm not so sure.Anyone help here.

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. …

hi, bought a crv - headlamp washers do not work - digital clock not working - any ideas will help thanks jim

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

In your opinion what was the best Honda to roll off the production line?

Hi, Hoping someone can help a Newbie here 1. The lighter has stopped working on my Elysion - suspect a blown fuse, which would be a nice easy fix if so. Can't figure out though which fuse to replace though - see attached pic. 2. Any know where I can download a English owners manual ? Lots of Japanese options on Google ... not so many in English. Any help on either question would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Before I buy, how easy is it to wire in a Dash Cam in a Honda Accord 2012 2.4 fitted with ADAS. I am a little concerned where to run the wire down the pillar that has side airbags. Any help please

Is anyone else seeing a problem with the clock on their Honda? it seems like there is an issue on cars where the clock is linked to the Satnav across a broad range of models/years. My 2007 Accord certainly has the problem. There is more information here. https://jalopnik.com/honda-clocks-are-stuck-20-years-in-the-past-and-this-mi-1848306970

Please can anyone let me know whether my car, a Honda 2007 2.2ltr ex i-ctdi is 2 or 4 wheel drive as I cant find it anywhere. Thank you.

The paint on my Jazz has just started peeling off for no reason. Has anyone else had this problem and did Honda help????

Getting my car through the MOT is always is a bit of a trial. It takes ages to get the car engine/exhaust warm enough to pass the emissions test . I always use super 97 fuel with Redex and whilst the car really drives well it still takes a while to get it hot. The car is an import (2005) so is there any engine management change I can make or is it a case of a decoke or something else ? Thanks John C

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?

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

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

I don't know if anyone else on this forum has ever had seriously bad Dealership experiences when taking their car in to get serviced. When I purchased my 95 Prelude from a private owner the service book showed a PERFECT history FULL of Dealership stamps. To check if they were genuine I dyno'd the car and found it STILL made 185bhp at the crank and 143bhp at the wheel!! Buoyed up by this I decided that took keep up the cars value I would contribute to have it serviced at my local dealership, Western Honda. However, when I took the vehicle in for a service the last thing I expected was the garage to change my oil, inspect the car and charges me £492!! I could have…
