I wonder if the tailgate needs resetting / programming to set it up correctly. Maybe disconnect and reconnect the battery and immediately try closing and opening the tailgate?

I am desperately trying to obtain two parts for my 1999 Honda Prelude Chassis number JHMBB9140WC201961 as I have not had any luck so far through the normal? channels Required are one of each 53765-SS0-J00 Cooler, Power Steering Oil 36450-PT5-X01 VALVE ASSY., ELECTRONIC AIR CONTROL If anyone can point me in the right direction or has available to sell new or SH I would be extremely grateful Many thanks in anticipation of any replies.....

That doesn't sounds too bad cost wise and to replace in terms of labour It does sounds plausible and also in the colder season it does tend to knock out sensors. Let us know how it all goes and fingers crossed it resolves the issue.....either way at least you get a coolant change which is always an overlooked service item

Hi All I have an update on the Radiator Fan Query which may help others, I contacted the Main Honda Service Manager who advised that as the MK3 CRV has no Radiator Fan Switch , it was likely to be the Bottom Radiator Coolant Sensor situated on the left side bottom of the Rad , not expensive to replace from a wholesaler around £ 11.00 but from Main Honda £ 57.00, so not rocket science where to buy this from and the comparative OEM Number is correct. It is a bit of a job fitting it as the bottom engine covers have to be removed to get at the Coolant Sensor, it needs a 17mm long socket to remove it, the coolant system has to be drained down and after refitting the new Sensor has to be refilled with Honda Coolant , it is doable but I have bought the parts and will get my local Garage to do the labour as it needs to be done using a ramp. So that's the update at the moment, keeping fingers crossed it will solve the problem. Hope this helps others who may have the same issue. Cheers All BAZZER RN1

Hi - is the bonnet sensor just a push switch like the door switch that turns the interior light on when the door is opened ? If so you could just depress the switch and tape it down just to check it ! Just a thought !

I bet the woolen trunks were Maroon !!!!!!!!! They all were - it was like swimming towing a 50 lb weight behind you, yes I remember them well - as a teenager we progressed to holidays in the far flung region of Wales called Rhyl or Abergele ! The welsh locals in them days did not take kindly to holidaymakers or " outsiders " as they called them ! An old school chum of mine`s aunt and uncle lived in St. Martins in Oswestry and we went camping in their back garden when we were about 9 or 10, it was like being in another world as the locals all spoke Welsh - his uncle was a foreman at a small local coal mine and he took us down one day with all the miners, as we went down in the cage lift and to the coal face they were all singing - they were going on their shift ! - we were getting a guided tour - amazing and something I will never forget ! You couldn`t do that today ( health and safety ) - years later we took up potholing in Derbyshire, Yorkshire and the Lake District - we were about 15 years old by this time - Fantastic ! I am 76 years young now by the way but still have all my marbles ! Back to the motoring side of things - the first " car " I had was a 1959 "Frisky Sport" powered by an ariel 2T engine ( two stroke ) wish I had it now as it would be worth a fortune - my first motorcycle was a " Royal Enfield Clipper " 250 cc single cylinder bought of my uncle for the grand total of 12 pounds and ten shillings - again now would be worth a lot of money !

Blimey, that video is absolutely spot on - I could have been in that video ! Blackpool was THE place to go in summer - I remember there used to be one stallholder on the front, he had a cane and wore a straw hat - he used to tap his cane on the floor and shout " Come on you silly buggers -get spent up and bugger off home " I kid you not !! We used to go to Belle Vue speedway and funfair on Hyde Road, Manchester - My claim to fame is that I sat on Peter Cravens (2 x world champion) bike in the pits, he spotted me - ran in and shouted "Oi get off there you little bugger" and chased me out of the pits 😁 Now that is fame ! Also I have a photograph somewhere of me sat on the neck of " Sally " the elephant at Belle Vue !!!! Not the first one which was called " Maharajah " but the second one, I was around six years old - if I can find the photograph I will post it here - Memories !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bloody hell jimbojim you were about before the battle of Hastings in 1066 then, did you ever meet Arthur or William 😂😀

That`s not the real reason ! How many motorcycles on the road compared to the number of cars, vans and lorries ? Also the tax is lower in comparison - To make most money they have to hit the majority and that is cars, vans and lorries - Also motorists have the AA and RAC to argue at government level but there is an old saying " You can`t Beat the System " The System being the Government and is designed to skrew the public ! Guy Fawkes tried to beat the system - and look what they did to him ! As an aside, when I bought the Accord I have now in 2008 I wanted to go pick the car up myself - on my own - I checked public transport - by train is was impossible - no usable links from my home to the garage, checked the bus service - it would take around 5 hours and 6 buses !!!! I do not live out in the wild - but in Bolton greater Manchester, the garage was in Ashton-under-Lyne - which takes 25 minutes to drive there by car - that`s public transport for you - useless ! BUT when we get the " 15 minute cities " that keeps being muted - what would we want a car OR motorcycle for ? we could all ride round in circles providing there is no ULEZ charge of course ! This is what our children and grand children have to look forward to !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
