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. …

Hi, I have a 1980 Civic imported from Malta. In order to register in the UK, the DVLA require proof of manufacture from Honda or an owner's club. I contacted Honda UK who then contacted Japan but, strangely, they said they can't date it. Can anyone here help? Pic (not great) attached for interest!

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.

Hi all. I'm new to car forums but I thought I would give it a go, I have a problem my CRV 2008, that mechanic can't cure. I keep getting an intermittent vibration coming up through the steering wheel, sometimes it lasts for a second or two, other times it can last as much as twenty seconds.. Sometimes this is so bad the windscreen shakes as well. I happens all the time but it is more noticeable while on cruise control at between 38 and 40mph. Has anybody heard of this or knows something about it. I would be very grateful for your help. Thank you.

Hi All I live in Spain and we have a Mk1 CRV with 285,000km on the clock. Its Automatic and seems to work okay... although I am not 100% confident with it yet. Its had a major service and the head gasket done, along with cambelt and fan bets etc. I notice the revs go quite low at times when at idle and sometimes it feels like it is holding back, I am convinced there are a few sensors that are on their way out but as yet it is not showing any fault codes. In January I need to drive the car back to England and then back to Spain, in all about 3000 miles. Ive done the drive many times in old transit vans and land rovers but never in anything as n…

Good Morning I was referred to The Honda Owners Club by Honda in Swindon. I own a 1995 Honda CRX (reg N753 EKP, engine no. D16Z6-4709549) which has failed its MOT due to high emission levels. I have been told I need a replacement catalytic converter and was given the name of Online Automotive. They have told me they can supply what I need but asked me 2 questions , neither of which I know the answer to as I am not technically minded. …does my car have a lamda sensor? …does it have onboard diagnostics? Can anyone help or offer any advice – I would be most grateful Thank you Dave 07867 663232

Hi, I am a new model Jazz owner, which I bought in the summer. As part of the deal, the dealer insisted that I took out some of their extra insurances, one of which was repairs to cosmetic alloy wheel damage insurance. Now I know from experience how easy it is to scuff alloys and it wasn’t too expensive, so I agreed. Anyway unfortunately we did manage to scuff a wheel on a curb, but then I thought, no worries, I have the insurance. I got in touch, had approval for the repair and the guy turned up as agreed. So far so efficient. However, as the repair guy apologetically pointed out to me, the silver bits on my smart black and silver alloys are in fact not alloy at all but …

UK line-up is now petrol, hybrid and pure-electric only but plans have also been brought forward to phase out petrol Diesel-fuelled Hondas have been withdrawn from UK sale with the last vehicles expected to be out of dealerships within a few weeks. The Japanese carmaker is the biggest VM yet to axe diesel power in Britain. It will also bring forward plans to phase out pure petrol cars by the end of 2022, rather than 2025 as previously suggested. A Honda spokesman: “Honda has accelerated its plans for all its European mainstream car models to be electrified from 2025 to 2022 and our motor petrol hybrid technology will play a key rol…

Hello I have just bought a 2007 Honda Elysion and I have inherited the hard drive music that I would like to clear. I can't play my own cd's. Can anyone tell me how to clear the hard drive?

The time has come for me to part with my Honda HRV 2002. It is worth very little on the open market but I'm hoping someone who loves these cars as much as I do might like to consider it. I don't know how to go about finding a match, so thought a shout out in here might be worth a try. I'm in Cobham, Surrey

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
