    Hi all,I have a 2013 2.2dtec auto with 80,000 on the clock.It is the first time I have had it serviced in my ownership and a bit puzzled at what sensibly needs doing.Does it need brake fluid,transmission fluids,fuel filter etc?.I have had a few quotes,I am told it needs new discs and pads all round as well as a service,approx £730 seems to be the going rate??...any advice please..cheers,Phil.

    Hello, I was stuck outside of the UK since June 2020 and could not come back until now May 2021. The car was left in a garage all this time and was not driven/started for months. I tried jump-starting it using a NOCO BOOST and using another car but nothing happens. There is not even a sound, the lights don't come on. Would anybody have any ideas? Is this most likely just a zeroed out battery? Or am I doing something wrong? I am using the big bolt pin on the chassis as the ground terminal. I am really surprised that nothing happens. I would expect at least the starter motor to turn. The car is automatic, so I can't even release the …

  5. Hi, We own a 2009 Honda Crv EX 2.2 diesel car for a year now. A couple of months back we've noticed the car battery went dead twice on us so we decided to invest in a new one. To our surprise 2 weeks later the new one went dead too! So we swapped the old battery (thankfully didn't get rid of it!) and charged up the new one (also double checking nothing had been left on inside the car). After 3 days when opening the car door, I strangely saw the sat Nav fascia was stuck half open (like it had a power surge) and low and behold, battery dead again. All becoming a bit like groundhog day now, so decided to get it booked in with the mechanics for the following week. Meanw…

    Model is a CRV SE (2016) 2.0 petrol manual This issue has just started - warning comes on after 4 or 5 mins driving Before warning appears it does auto stop as expected Disabling the AutoStart via button below handbrake removes message Warning seems to indicate battery, but there are no other issues with battery starts fine, very quickly Battery is an EFB model, EuroCar parts showing a price of £399 ! Other suppliers show £110 AGM batteries as suitable when using Reg number to identify 399 is an expensive experiment to see if it fixes issue Do you really need to use the EFB battery ? Any other suggestions please ?

  9. They come on when doing a bit of cornering and breaking. Only way yo clear is to turn ignition off and back on. Any suggestions?

    I've had my 2007 CR-V nearly a month now, and twice in that time I've gone to open the boot, but it doesn't open. The car is unlocked and all doors open, but not the boot. The first time it happened I put things in the back seat instead, then tried the boot again (I think) the next day and it opened. However, yesterday I went to put things in but it wouldn't open no matter how many times I locked/unlocked the car. Is this a known issue? It's going to be my wife's main vehicle once her car has sold, so I'm trying to get anything sorted before she uses it.

    The spark plugs on my 2007 CRV EX need replacing. However, on my engine, the coil packs are on the front of the engine and not under a cover like many of those I’ve seen online. The coil packs are secured with a nut the screws onto a stud that protrudes through the coil pack but the nuts and the securing stud are so badly rusted away (we live near the sea) that I can’t get the nuts off and so can’t remove the coil packs. I’m worried that I might break the stud that the coil pack securing but screws onto, and I’ve not been able to find replacements online. Can anyone help by providing a part number, or a link to where I can buy some replacement studs that coil pack securin…

    As owners of a 2013 CRV, we are looking to purchase 2 electric bikes and need to find a way to transport them. They would each weight 24 kgs. As we tow a caravan and want to take the bikes with us we cannot use a tow ball fitting carrier. Would prefer a rear vehicle option but are having difficulty finding a suitable one. Have seen roof mounted options but as these bikes are quite heavy a) they seem to be too heavy for the roof bars and b) as we are not getting any younger we are not sure we would be able to lift them anyway. Wondering if anyone else has come across this and has found an answer.

    By chance I lifted the boot floor cover over the spare wheel to find at least 50mm of water filling the well! It must have been there for a while as some steel parts had started to rust. Any idea how it could get there? None of the rest of the boot is wet or stained.

    Hi I’m having issues with the brakes on my 2010 crv, hoping someone might be able to shed some light as to what to look at. When braking the pedal goes straight to the board with little or no resistance, it slowly brakes. If I pump the brake in preparation to brake then I get resistance and it brakes sooner. Brake pipes have been checked for leaks, fluid is ok, mechanic isn’t sure what to try next, he’s thinking master cylinder on the servo or abs pump so I’m trying to help him do a bit of research to see if either have any particular problems or if it’s possibly something else. Has anyone experienced this problem before? All help and advice appreciated thanks

  23. Hi, I am new to this forum. I am looking to purchase a CRV mk2.5 (2006 - 66k miles) or mk3 (2008 - 33k miles) - both 2.0 petrol and I am not sure which to go for. The 2006 is costing about 2,000 Sterling and the lower mileage 2008 is about 4,000 sterling. The 2006 has an up to date MOT but the MOT on the 2008 is about to expire. I am looking for a low mileage version as I plan to convert to LPG and the investment (about 1,000 sterling) only makes sense if I keep the car for 3+ years. Which one do you think I should go for? Many thanks

  24. Hi. Can anyone help. My 2013 CR-V 2.2D has suddenly developed a problem. The passenger power window and the same side wing mirror have both stopped working at the same time. The master control switch and the passenger switch for these items don’t work but the switches for all other windows and drivers wing mirror work as normal. Checked fuse’s, but can’t find one for wing mirror, all ok. Checked for damaged wires at door hinged position, all ok. I am thinking it’s probably pointing towards the passenger window side switch or the Master switch assy on driver’s door. But what I can’t understand why the window and side mirror have both stopped when they are on…

    I am desperate to replace the OEM head unit in my 2018 CR-V and am struggling to find suitable models that would allow me to retain: 1 - Rear Parking Camera. 2 - Sat Nav 3 - DAB 4 - Steering wheel controls. 5 - Bluetooth Telephone. Ideally, I'd also like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which I don't have at the moment. Has anyone done this successfully and can recommend a suitable unit please? If there are also recommendations for a reputable company to fit it in the North West I'd appreciate it. Thank you!
