Hi Guys & Gals Just bought a Front and Rear View Dash Cam for the CRV and thought I would have a go at fitting it this week, It is not an easy job as some might suggest with havin to tuck the wiring neatly away out of sight in the bodywork panels and making sure all is as covert as possible, I have plugged the power lead into the Cigarette Lighter socket for the time being until I can sort out which fuse I will and can connect it to on a permanent basis, It works fine but one thing to watch out for when feeding the power cable through is that you don't get it caught on any sharp objects, as I did with the result I cut through the cable and it cost me some extra t…

Hi All I am considering fitting Four new Tyres on my 4 wheel Drive 2008 Mk 3 CRV and having done a fair bit of research on the type of Tyre I might need as I don't do an excessive mileage I have found Royal Black Sport Tyres being sold by the RAC for my type of vehicle which on the face of it conforms to all I need including the Road Holding and Safety aspect and has got some good reviews on all the Websites, Sure I could go for the more expensive make of tyre but this may be false economy based on the reviews for the Royal Black Sports Tyres, Not being a Car Tyre Professional If any one has had any experience with these Tyres I would appreciate a practic…

I have been tinkering about today with the CRV and thought I would remove the Thurle Roof Rack as shown on my Profile, I don't use it all of the time and I have noticed that it does cause some wind noise when driving, My Daughter mentioned this when driving on the Bournemouth Spur Road at the Weekend, also of cause I probably think it doesnt help the fuel economy , So off it has come and packed away neatly in the Shed until I require it in future, I have put all the nuts and bolts in plastic bags so I can find them when I need to refit the Roof Rack. so another job done !!!

Hi, need help with updating my satnav in my honda civic. It's a 13 plate. Just need to know what DVD I need to get for it. Called Honda and they want £180 just for the dvd. Just wondering if anyone can tell me where I can get a disc from what is suitable for my car but doesn't break the bank. Thank you. Charlotte

Hello all you Honda lovers out there. My beautiful Civic was stolen from what I thought was a quiet, safe place to park it. I was wrong. Last week my car was taken, because apparently it has become a sought after collector’s car and worth some money. I bought it 28 years ago and it was my pride and joy so I’m choked. If anyone out there sees a new to the area Electric Blue Civic Esi Reg. L767 FMO please will you let me know, although I realise it may have new plates and and chassis no. by now, or may even be on a boat to China so I’m told, But I have to try because the police have shown no interest at all, and this is my chance. Thank you for reading. All…

Honda is to recall around 78,000 CR-V models in the UK after a possible fire risk was established. A gap between the car’s window switch prompted fear that liquid could cause a short circuit. Honda warns that it would even “catch fire” in extreme circumstances. In a statement, a Honda spokesperson said: “In 2012 Butyl tape was applied to the power window master switch (PWMS) as part of a market safety recall to prevent liquid exposure to the inside of the PWMS. “However a gap could exist between the applied Butyl tape and PWMS case, liquid could then accumulate in that gap and over time this could lead to liquid entering into the PWMS. “Onc…

Hi All Motherinlaw has a mint condition 1998 Honda Civic coupe in black only 35,000 miles that she is reluctantly to part with and rely on son in law for lifts 🙂 She has owened it from new, regular servicing, MOT, full log book etc Local garage quoted us circa £1500 which seems light to me. Can anyone advise me of its actual value? Thankyou Andy

Hi all. I want to get some replacement wiper blades. I bought some from Halford but when I went to fit them they look cheap compared to the original wipers. The original wipers have a replaceable blade in the actual wiper unit rather than replacing the complete wiper itself. Does anyone know where I can get these as I have looked online and can't seem to find them. It's an 08 Accord EX GT I-DTEC. Thanks

I have got a Honda V-Tec engine, Very little miles. This is a complete Engine ready to fit. How do I go about selling this Engine, Not sure if Im allowed to put adds on this site.

2 months ago, I bought an approved used car Honda Civic 2018 diesel as my first car. As it comes with 12 months hondacare guarantee and car assistance, I think I only need to take care the maintenance after a year. But I just received an email from the sales dealer that the service is due soon...?? Does it mean I need to drive the car to the dealer for checking? Or can I have service from nearby Honda dealer (as the dealer sold the car is in other town)? Thank you.

My Honda CR-V Bluetooth has stopped working. I have tried all the usual settings and tried coming out and resetting, but it just goes to the off setting after I try logging in. Has anyone else had the same problem, or can offer any help. My Honda garage wants £114 just to check it.

A question which has always come up when talking to other Drivers is, which Windscreen Wipers are the best and value for money, I have used various types on my different vehicles, some work well while others not so good even the most expensive ones, Has any Member got any ideas on this ????

Hi I was lucky to buy a used Honda CRV 05 plate about 4 years ago for £1800 with 120k on the clock. I have a good mechanic who has got me through my MOT's and it's been a great car but sadly this last MOT has come up with bad rust under the car and various other serious issues and because of the rust such as brakes and steering on both sides is in danger of collapse, deeming it unworthy of fixing. I live rurally and do drive through a lot of bad surface water due to heavy rains/flooding years round but nothing crazy other than road driving. I'm wondering if the CRV is prone to a badly rusting undercarriage to this degree or have I just been unlucky at the…

Can anyone tell me will any other coil/distributor core unit fit on a H-plate concerto ex auto as finding this part is a nightmare and too bloody costly for a new one direct from Honda. I have been told that its the same engine as the rover 216 and certain civic ones might fit. I would really appreciate your help in this matter.

Hi,first post here after owning an FRV for 7 years. All of a sudden when trying to open the door with fob the locks click open and shut again within a second. If quick enough you can open the door if timed right but that's it and the rest of the car stays shut,even locking you in the car until forcing the little lock part towards door to get out. Any ideas what the problem is? It did stop for a day or two then came back again
