    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…

    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, 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 …

    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…

    Hi there. I need to replace the 2nd clutch pressure switch in my F-RV (2009), but can't find any reference to this part anywhere on the web. I can find clutch pressure switches for just about every other Honda model, but not the F-RV. Does anyone know where I can get the part number - or is the same component used in say the C-RV?

    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.

    Hi Folks, Probably should have started this tread before buying mine, but still think it's a good topic for discussion, so what in your knowledgeable opinions would be the best FRV engine type out all the options to buy?

  13. Hello guys Just has a quick question, I've recently upgraded my headunit to a new pioneer double din, ive used the connect 2 interface and the new stalk patch lead for the steering wheel control however my controls for the stereo do not work, the green plug which plugs into the back of the original factor stereo remains untouched as I am not sure if it has the cruise controls connected to it as well. Could you guys help me understand how to get the steering wheel controls to work pls Many thanks

    I am in need to replace FR-V 2009 1.8l petrol automatic right hand (driver side) drive shaft and I can't find the replacement part as it shows everywhere out of stock. Part number is 44305-SJD-E20 and I wonder if there is any alternative option for that part, maybe some other honda models share the same part but under different part numbers? I found Honda OEM part but I can't afford to spend over £500 just for part alone and also wait till mid october, so any input from you guys will be appreciated. Thank you in advance! JZ

    Hi folks I'm new to Honda but just got an FRV which I'm now loving, but I've got the 2 original keys which unlock and start the car manually, but neither of which unlock the car remotely ( which Is annoying for me cause I've got 4 kids so always got my hands full ) I just replaced both key batteries and one of the keys emits the little led light when pressed and one doesn't l, so I've been using the one with the working led for the investigation purposes. I've tried to do the key programming mode that I seen a member post about on here but that didn't work. I'm at the point where I don't know where else I should be looking, but I've booked fo…

  19. Recently got a fault code reader and I suspect it suggests there's an air leak in one of the intake/charge pressure pipes. It's a generic reader so provides generic code. Was wondering if this site has any resources/Wikis for things like Fault Codes, Fuse boxes, wiring diagrams etc? FYI Fault codes I have (if anybody can decipher): P2017 P1042 P1401 U0122

    Hi there everyone, a few years ago I replace one of the o-rings on the power steering pump as the fluid was bubbling and getting a whining sound when driving. This resolved the issue then but this has now come back and I can't find the part number anywhere. Does anyone have this please? It was an orange o-ring. Thanks

    As Per the title really, car was working fine until Saturday morning..occasionally over the last year or so on a handful of occasions had the passenger door failed to open. But a double press on the fob and we were all ok again. Friday it was fine, on Saturday morning however things did not go to plan. Went to open the car, and nothing on the passenger door unlocked and relocked the car with the fob multiple times, but still no good. I've managed to remove the interior door card, and get to the actuator but of course the whole thing is one effing sealed unit isn't it, and without being able to open the door I can't remove the bolts inside the door to remo…

    Hi. My Honda is making a noise around the fan belt drives. It seems a lot louder than usual. The only things that have happened are that I recharged the air con, which now is lovely and cold. But then the battery drained a few hours later. Well tbh it kinda started turning off during driving when I slowed down. Later I had to attempt a battery to battery jump start, but the car battery jumped back to life the second I connected the leads. The next day the battery was dead again. I did the same and drive for a few hours. But the engine sounds loud. After an hour I stopped. Then came back to car and as I pulled out, the…
