Honda FR-V Club

Hi. Does anyone know where I can get a bottom ball joint for my Honda 2.2ctdi FRV 2006? I was told by Honda that I couldn't buy just the ball joint and would have to buy the complete hub carrier for nearly £300. I ended up doing this for the drivers side (crying as I did so) but now the passenger side will soon need replacing and I am loathe to do so again. I have the old ball joint from the driver's side in my hand so I know it does separate from the hub carrier. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to overcome it? 🤞 It's not the sort of part that I want to get from a breakers because it would undoubtedly have wear issues too. Hoping someone will be able to hel…

Hi Folks, bought FRV 2.2 Diesel manual 56 plate just over a year ago now and its been running just fine and is very economical 48/50 MPG. THe blower fan has recently stopped working and I`m wondering if anyone has had experience with this and what the issue is. Thanx in anticipation Colin R

Hello, is anyone selling a FRV auto? Thanks

Hello everybody, I am looking for front shock absorbers for my FRV. Where do you buy them? I can only find te oem ones,aftermarket nothing. I read somewhere that the shocks of a certain Civic model might fit. Ideas? Tips? Thanks😁

Right so lads another random question/topic on the Honda FRV. Has anyone ever installed bull bars (push bars) to the front bumper of their FRV? Also will a bull bar from say an '06 CRV fit the FRV? I'm told both are based on the same frame so thinking they might fit?..

After 15 years of owning the FR-V in London, my catalytic converter was stolen yesterday. Really pissed off. Having seen a post from here the uk.hondaownersclub.com. I've bought a replacement from https://catman.co.uk/ I'm not a mechanic, so hopefully it will have all the bits I need. Then its just another waiting game, as it might get stolen again. Is this be coming more common?

Hello guys, I got FR-V 1.8 and I can't find engine radiator for that car. Does someone know where I can buy it or maybe from which honda it will fit to 1.8 FR-V. Thank you.

Hi, the windows on my frv all stopped working at once. Anyone else had the same problem and what did you do to fix it? thanks Paul

Hello, just joined forum, and recently bought FRV 2.2 diesel. I have noticed the engine takes an age to warm up, more so as the weather is getting colder. I believe the thermostat is either stuck open or is missing completely. I have bought a new thermostat, but looking in the engine bay I cannot see the housing. I think it is under the EGR valve somewhere. Could I access the thermostat from underneath if I removed the plastic engine shield? Any info greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Help want to fit double din stereo but need fascia surround

Hi everyone, I have an issue with my FRV where the central locking won't open unless I press the key fob several times. I hear the noise and interior lights turn on but quickly go off and all the doors and boot remain locked. After several presses it eventually opens, when it does the noise (possibly an actuator) is slightly different. Any thoughts?

Hi, I own a 2008 FR-V 1.8 Trend automatic 4-spd, LHD. I'm looking to source new engine mounts, but prefer purchasing from a garage/mechanic/supplier to ensure I'm buying the correct items. I've done some research online, but the best I can find is this: https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars/FR-V/2008/18-1.8-TREND/BODY-PARTS/ENGINE-MOUNTS-18L--AT-/17SJD501/B__4704/6/20644. The above link displays 23 parts, and I have no idea what's right to order. Any recommendations of a garage/mechanic/supplier who could help me would be much appreciated. Thanks much, Daniel

Hi everyone. I’ve got an FRV 2.2 CTDI. The clutch pedal got stiff so I replaced the clutch, pressure & release bearing. The flywheel is not a dual mass I assume it’s been modified as the clutch kit was an LUK. Anyway the clutch pedal after bleeding over & over has a low biting point & hard to get into gear, so I replaced the slave cylinder which made no difference. I’m thinking the clutch master is defective as I can press the slave cylinder rod back in by hand. If I pump the pedal every time to change gears and in between a change they engage fine. Parts for these car’s are so dear and I can’t keep throwing money at it. Please advise if anyone has had this Is…

Hi. How easy is it to replace the exhaust on an Frv. Most of it is stainless steel but the part the mechanic welded is not. I think it is just the one downpipe that needs replaced and am wondering how hard it is to do and where would I get the relevant part. Apparently the mechanic said there are only OEM parts available and it will cost about £400. Sorry I'm a bit vague but that's all I have at the moment

Hi all, have a FR-V 2006 CDTI, and need to work out the location of the power window relay. Can anyone help (no power windows, so I'm guessing it's a common point of failure)? Thanks, Ian

Hi Guys, So at the end of the road really and getting to the point of scrapping the car. It's a 2008 2.2 Diesel FRV 110k. I've had this hot start issue for a couple of years and last time the mobile mechanic that came out couldn't really give me a definitive answer. The battery used to go flat as well, put it down to short journeys. Anyway few years on I decided I had enough and started putting money in getting it looked at. The problem simply is the car starts fine early in the morning but after a good run and it's warmed it hesitates to start, needs bit of a prolonged start and gives a judder. When the start gets really bad the P0039 e…

Hi Lads, Im probably going to get lots of biased opinions posting here but I wanted to guage if there is an appetite for bringing the FRV back? I love my FRV but is kinda old and falling apart and I would absolutely love to see one in a new or near-new condition (unfortunately there is none in Ireland). Also with the popularity of cross overs "SUV's" I think with a little style change and slightly higher suspension the FRV would make the absolute megga cross over?!? So, any opinions?? Is there any other FRV fans out there and if so, how many? 🤓🤓

Hello. First of all sorry if there is mistakes in my topic as im not from UK and english is not my main language but i really cant find anything. So i had many cars before and never had issue like this before. On my Honda FRV 2005 1.8 left headlight is not working. I bought a car thinking i just have to replace bulb but no. I changed my led bulb, i checked fuses and relays and everything is good and even replaced them and still nothing. Im not sure where i can look for ar problem now any ideas?

I have a 2008 FR-V and have noticed that in city driving it holds on to lower gears longer than it used to. On the motorway at light throttle, the revs don't drop like they used to. Transmission oil has been replaced twice during the life of the car, though I doubt the transmission oil filter was replaced. Any suggestions as where to look are much appreciated.

Hi guys I'm new to this club, hope everyone is in good health. I installed new lowering springs now hearing clanking noise when turning, anyone has any ideas to share will be great.

HI, I have a 2006 2.2cdti sport FR-V. I love it and so does our 10 year old in the middle seat:-) I recently had to do a couple of thousand miles in a matter of three weeks - the car has already done 166,000 miles, but has never missed a beat. The car drives great, but I have noticed it is taking longer to crank. it would previously start in a second , but now it i taking between 2-5 ? One started , it drives fine, no loss of power,etc, and doing a reasonable 41-44 mpg on a run. ( I am not a boy racer :-) ) I am not a mechanic but should I be concerned , as I have to do another thousand …

Can you run the engine when the air con system has been emptied?

My daughter has a 2006 FR-V 1.7, I am looking for the torque setting for the front wheel Hub Nut and the Ball Joint Nut. Thanks

Hi all. So I have this FR-V that's causing me headache for a while. It's a 2008 2.2 diesel with 6speed manual gearbox, just over 123k miles. Bought it with few issues that I thought will be easy to fix, but stuck at the moment.. The main issue is that the car is pulling to the left. The odd thing about it is that the pull is not consistent. I.e. in the morning, when you set off there's no noticeable pull, while couple roundabouts later, you really need to hold the steering wheel! Also the steering wheel seems to be easier to turn to left rather than right. Car recently had both front wheel bearings done, new track rod ends, second hand shocks (a…

Hey Folks, Can anyone advise me on how to fix my 06 1.7ltrs petrol FRV radiotor in place. Was poking around the engine bay the other day and noticed the radiator is sitting loose, looks like some on doing repairs in the past never fixed all the screws back in place. Would anyone have pics or info on where/what screws/bolts should be holding the radiator in place?
