Hi all you lovely CRV Members, I am a little disappointed with the response received when a Member asks for some help or advice on a subject or problem they are having with their Honda CRV, I have asked a few questions being new to the Honda Mark and usually the only response I receive is from an Administrator ,which is always appreciated, but look how many others have asked for help and very rarely do they get an answer or at least an educated guess at what the answer might be. I thought I would mention this after looking at how many unanswered question their appears to be on the Forum. So unfortunately I have now resorted to having go to the expensive Main Dealer to find any answers, I am sure I am not the only one who has noticed this but I feel it is something that should or might be addressed to the other Fellow CRV Members who might feel the same way as I do. I have a Jaguar X Type in pristine condition ,but occasionally I have a query and ask on the Jaguar Forum and do get a lot of genuine helpful replies as to what might be the problem, surely there are as many CRV Members as on the Jaguar Forum but they do seem to be more responsive to answering a query or question to help the Member. Sorry if I have dragged on a bit, but believe it is a topic which is food for thought. Thanks Guys Barrie RN 1

Yes, thats the problem nowadays as most garages don't understand the concept of exhaust emissions. It either passes the MOT set emissions or it doesn't I have seen many garages dispose of perfectly good oxygen sensors because they failed (or couldn't be bothered to see the relevance) to notice an exhaust leak which draws air to the sensor which then overfuels and 'hey presto' there is your problem. I have sometimes measure the oxygen level after fitting a new exhaust to see that there is no leaks present and the repair has been done properly, takes all of 2 to 3 minutes as the emissions machine is running all day on standby. Sorry, rant over but motor vehicle fundamentals seem to have been completely forgotten over the past 10 to 20 years and replacement of perfectly good (and expensive) components seem to be the name of the game. most MOT emissions analysers have a 'Pre-MOT Test' function in the background where you can run it to check 5 gas and Lambda readings prior to testing for the MOT but not many people would use it or know its there or even understand the readings and how they determine the actual faults
