Hi....welcome to the Club The CRV is a superb vehicle and generally does not give many problems The diff - you'll know when the fluid needs replacing when it starts to knock and clunk on hard turn onto a driveway for example Just get a couple of litres of the correct fluid and easy enough to replace in the rear diff Try IceboxAutos for aftermarket audio that is designed to replace the CRV standard radio

Trevor Many thanks for your response. I think I will leave it for a few days until the temperature rises above 0° C. The cold makes the plastic very tough to handle. I will certainly get back to you when I've done the job. Thanks again. Ray

I would be tempted to remove the cover from the inside of the tailgate and see if you can secure the trim from behind (maybe a self tapping screw would be sufficient to hold it)

That’s what I thought. Honda garage just said it was flat and just recharged it. They said to always start the engine as there’s a lot of electronics running when you just switch the ignition on. Never know batteries use that much in 45yrs+ of motoring.

Apologies - double post due to browser crash. Paul

Merry Christmas to the members of the Honda Owners Club Enjoy the festive break and see you back here in 2025

Hi Simon, got the same problem did you get to the bottom of it?

battery would have to be pretty poor to flatten in 4 minutes,

Going back to my squeaky clutch I've found it's my boots that I where for dogging!! NO not that kind !! driving to where I walk and train my dogs

Thanks Trevor, bit late to wish you the same but I hope you had the best of times. been preoccupied by dog related things for a couple of months hopefully that's is all sorted now. Wishing everyone what hopefully will be a better year than 24

Ah, Now I have a 2005 Mk 2 and wanting to err on the side of caution asked my mechanic mate who sold me the car to change the timing belt. I was corrected straight away and told they have a chain. So emboldened with new knowledge, I asked him to change the chain. When he stopped laughing he pointed out that the cost would be in the region of £900, and this guy doesn't rip people off. He said that providing the correct oil is regularly changed the chain SHOULD outlast the car. I'm not 100% happy with this, knowing what the consequences of a broken chain are, but he simply reminds me that the car, immaculate I might add when I bought it back in October only cost me £500. So I will change the oil very often and keep the fingers crossed firmly. My one and only fear is that the chain could go on a motorway or other busy road with my two dogs in the back, but check the internet and the same remark comes up, "regular oil and filter change will help to ensure the existing chain outlives the car.🤞

Thanks for all the help and advice on the subject guys. Done and dusted, or rather polished!

Not sorted it's gone back to its habit of turning the non-charge schedule OFF for no reason. It's going in to dealer Jan

Mines 2007 and its chain. Got a photo of the engine? Im not sure if all the MK2's were chain with the K24A engine.

If I had any faith in car companies to do what is best for consumers, I'd agree. But I don't have that faith. Marrtin

Hi, Joining here because the only key that we have to my partners car has stopped working. The electronic part, that is. We can still drive it, but the alarm is constantly on. I've bought a new, blank key and have seen many Youtube videos telling me that I can sync the new key to the car, but none of them seem to work. I'm here to try and get this to work. Wish me luck. 🙂 Martin
