I cant remember what the topic was about 🙄

Time to reminisce… Toys and Games Many of the classic toys and games that children are still playing with today were first created in the 1960s, and we found plenty of ways to fill our time without all the gadgets that are around now. Etch a Sketch The Etch a Sketch was one of the most wanted toys for Christmas 1960 and many of us spent hours trying to create masterpieces with those two fiddly dials. Lego Lego in the 60s required a lot more imagination than it does today. We didn't get detailed instructions and film characters. We just got coloured blocks that could be anything we wanted them to be. Meccano A lot of the engineers and mechanics of today started out with Meccano, but many of the rest of us also spent hours constructing intricate structures and machines on the kitchen table. Action Man Action Man was the British version of America's G.I.Joe. In the 1960s his adventures were all about the Second World War, which was still very present in people's memories. Barbie and Ken Barbie's boyfriend Ken first appeared in the 1960s, and in 1963 we also got introduced to Sindy, the British alternative to Barbie. Twister Twister, invented in 1966, gave many of us the chance to knock over our little brothers and sisters, but it could also provide a way to get closer to our crushes. Corgi Aston Martin DB5 The dream car for many of us during the 60s was Corgi's version of the Aston Martin DB5 driven by James Bond. It even had a working ejector seat. Skalextric Cars that actually drove around the track amazed us in the 60s, and Scalextrics are still being driven around many living rooms today. Space Hoppers The bright orange space hopper landed for the first time in 1969 and despite its rather creepy face, it was soon hopping through streets and gardens all around the UK. Raleigh Chopper The laid back Chopper came to the UK in 1968, giving younger kids of the 60s the chance to feel just as cool as our older siblings on their scooters. Mousetrap Mousetrap took a long time to set up and it usually needed a helping hand to get the cage down at the end of the game, but we always hoped it would work as well as it did on the adverts. Airfix Airfix models kept many of us hard at work in our bedrooms in the 1960s, building our own fleets of planes and cars. Gonks and Trolls Collecting the little fuzzy gonks or big-haired troll dolls became an obsession for many of us in the 60s, and even inspired a surreal film called Gonks Go Beat in 1965. Spirograph Spirograph got a lot of us drawing in circles when it was introduced in 1965 and it even seemed to inspire a lot of the patterns seen in the fashions of the late 60s. Portable Radios The chance to play your own music and share it with your friends was a dream come true for teens of the 60s when portable radios became available. TV and Film Some amazing films were produced in the 60s, but what we were watching on TV was just as exciting. We were lucky enough to get a third channel, BBC2, during this decade, and we started getting programmes that were actually made for people our age. Doctor Who The Doctor Who who first appeared in black and white in 1963 was very different from his latest incarnation, but he is still the best version to those of us who hid behind the sofa to watch him. Ready, Steady, Go! Friday evenings wouldn't have been the same without RSG! It featured all the top artists, including the Beatles, the Kinks and Sandie Shaw, but the best thing about it was that it was presented by teenagers for teenagers. Alfie (1966) Many of us liked to think our lives in the 60s were as complicated and carefree as Alfie's. It probably wasn't. James Bond The 60s gave us our first James Bond, Sean Connery, in some of the best Bond films: Dr No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), and You Only Live Twice (1967). Kes (1969) Kes was a heartbreaking story about growing up that resonated with many of us who were going through the same experience in the 60s, even if we didn't all get our own pet kestrels. The Avengers The Avengers TV series gave us some of the most memorable female characters of the 60s, alongside the traditional bowler-hatted John Steed. If… (1968) If was one of the most unique films of the 60s, and for those of us who were enduring our own school days it was surprisingly cathartic to see the pupils revolting. Star Trek The original Star Trek is one of the most memorable TV series of the 60s, and for those of us whose imaginations were grasped by the space race it really seemed like a glimpse into the future. Z Cars Z Cars was unusual in its time for being a grittier type of police drama, but for those of us growing up in the 60s it was mainly a chance to watch some exciting action that wasn't set in London or America. The Man from U.N.C.L.E Growing up in the 1960s, we heard a lot about the Cold War, so the Man From U.N.C.L.E. didn't always seem so far-fetched. Many of our fountain pens became communicators when we were running round playing spies. The Great Escape One of the classic films of the 60s, the Great Escape made us all feel like we could be as cool as Steve McQueen. Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy The series that gave us Clint Eastwood as the Man with No Name was one of the best Spaghetti westerns. A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), were gritty but spectacular. The Twilight Zone The Twilight Zone gave a lot of us nightmares in the 1960s, but it is the title sequence and music that is most memorable. The Italian Job (1969) Michael Caine, minis driving stolen gold around Italy, and a literal cliff-hanger at the end- this was a film that had everything. Monty Python's Flying Circus Surreal, unique and hilarious, Monty Python first came to our screens in 1969, with some faces that we'd seen before in the children's comedy show Do Not Adjust Your Set. Music The music of the 60s took the Rock and Roll of the 50s and revolutionised the airwaves, with some of the best rock, pop and folk songs of all times. The Beatles Beatlemania was one of the defining trends of the 1960s, whether you were part of the screaming crowds or enjoying arguments over who was better, the Beatles or the Stones. The Rolling Stones The Stones were the other big British band of the 60s. Songs like Satisfaction and Paint it Black bring back memories of teenage hopes and heartbreak for many of us. Respect- Aretha Franklin (1967) One of the catchiest songs to sing along to, Respect was a great confidence booster from one of the most amazing voices of the 60s. Like a Rolling Stone- Bob Dylan (1965) Dylan was a poet of the 60s, and this is one of his most memorable songs. It is also one that gets better with age and experience. With a Little Help from My Friends- Joe Cocker (1969) Friendships are the most important thing when you are young, so this song about depending on them was deeply significant for many 1960s teens. The Monkees The Monkees started out as a TV band but actually managed to outsell the Beatles and Stones combined at some points in the decade. Itchycoo Park- Small Faces (1967) A psychedelic song that we loved as kids because of the reference to missing school where they teach the words of fools. Stand by Me- Ben E. King (1961) When this song turned up in the 80s film of the same name, it brought back fond memories of childhood friendship for many of us kids of the 60s. Sunny Afternoon- The Kinks (1966) The Kinks had some great hits in the 60s, but one of the fondest memories for anyone who was enjoying their long summer holidays during this decade must be Sunny Afternoon. The House of the Rising Sun- The Animals (1964) The distinctively 60s sound is enough to take you back to your teenage years, when this was the first four minute song to get to the top of the UK charts. Space Oddity- David Bowie (1969) Released just before the moon landing, this was a song that heralded the changes coming in the next decade. Glam rock was coming. Good Vibrations- The Beach Boys (1966) The Beach Boys made us long for the life of a Californian surfer when we were stuck in school in the grey UK, but Good Vibrations could make even the dullest day seem a little brighter. Puppet on a String- Sandie Shaw (1967) Puppet on a String is one of the chirpiest songs of the 60s, but it also brings back memories of the days when the UK actually managed to win the Eurovision song contest. All Along the Watchtower- Jimi Hendrix (1968) Many of us loves the original by Bob Dylan, but Hendrix's version released just six months later must be one of the greatest songs of all time. My Generation- The Who (1965) The song that expressed how we felt about our 60s generation, and which we know is still ours even when the new generations take it as their own anthem. Sweet Treats The 1960s was a great time to be a kid, particularly when you had pocket money to spend at the sweet shop. It was also a decade that saw many changes to the way we eat, with the first Chinese and Indian takeaways opening and foreign dishes like Spaghetti Bolognese appearing on our plates at home. Penny Sweets Bags of penny sweets like gobstoppers, black jacks and pear drops, were a big part of childhood in the 60s, and you could actually get several sweets for each penny back in the day. Spangles At 3d a pack, Spangles were a bargain as long as you didn't accidentally buy the Old English Flavours that included Aniseed, Liquorice and Treacle instead of the fruity ones. Sherbet Fountain There were two ways to eat a Sherbet Fountain: by biting the end off the liquorice stick and sucking the sherbet up, or by licking the stick and sipping it into the pouch. Fry's Five Centres Five centres was great as long as you liked all the sections or had a sibling who preferred the ones you hated. The 4d chocolate cream bar had orange, coffee, lime, blackcurrant and raspberry fillings. Kia Ora Kia Ora orange squash was the taste of childhood for many of us 60s kids. You used to be able to buy it at the cinema for 6d. Fizz Wiz Fizz Wiz Popping Candy was one of those sweets your parents thought would ruin your teeth, but that didn't stop us tipping whole packets of sherbet onto our tongues. Marathon You can still buy a Snickers today, but those of us who were there in the 60s know that it's really just a Marathon bar with a new name. Lucky Numbers Each of the chewy sweets in the box had its own number on the wrapper, but this wasn't always enough to convince parents they were really educational. Mint Cracknel The bright green centres looked like glass, and crunched like it too, but the chocolate covered bar was delicious and only cost 6d. Skippy The adverts made it look really trendy and sophisticated, but the chocolate and caramel covered wafer was just as tasty for kids in the suburbs. Smith's Crisps Smith's came in greaseproof paper bags with a generous serving of salt twisted up in blue paper, and they were the only crisps we knew until ready salted and flavoured crisps began to be sold in the 60s. Bubble Gum Cards Bubble Gum wasn't just about sweets in the 60s. It used to come with collectible cards that meant you had to keep coming back for more. Spanish Gold Spanish Gold was just coconut strips dusted in cocoa, but it was meant to look like loose tobacco. Block Ice Cream A lot of ice cream vans in the 60s served blocks of ice cream sandwiched between two wafers. They usually cost about 6d, and they were worth it as long as the ice cream didn't escape. 5 Boys Milk Chocolate We had plenty of chocolate bars to choose from in the 1960s, including the newly introduced Galaxy, but 5 Boys is the most memorable. The bar showed the five stages of Fry's chocolate, beginning with Desperation and ending with Realisation.

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How well I remember most of them and the milk float is the kind I use to use 7days week from 4.30am early start but home most days by 10.30am.

There is an irony with all of this movement toward electric vehicles I'll leave this here..... The trolley bus (electric and in use during the early part of the 20th century) The humble milk float (electric and silently delivered out milk - in glass recyclable bottles) Once a common sight on the roads and electric I don't call what we have now progress - it is literally reinventing the wheel !!!

@honda accord Please post photos and all the details

Hi Alan Some good advice as usual from Trevor, I also have a Mercedes e320 CD Avantgarde and concur with all the comments Trevor has made and exactly the case when on the Motorway change down the Gears and give it a blast through it seems to do the trick and keeps the Injectors clean which is the main problem sometimes with an erratic diesel engine not running smoothly, and a dose of Fortes Injector Cleaner helps as well BAZZER RN 1

Hi folks Had my new MK11 Civic for just over a week and I love her 😍

Buy the same Alan its not rocket science Mate stands to sense that with all four tyres the same size and rating it has to best for driving, wear and comfort This is what I did when

Hi, I have a 2014 Civic Tourer SRi Diesel, which I love incidentally. In 2015 Honda decided to change the SatNav/radio/rear view camera monitor unit, which I believe was made by a company called Atlas, changing to a Garmin model. I can no longer get map & software updates for the SatNav and recently I haven't been able to get dynamic traffic info updates rendering the unit next to useless. Honda can't do anything for me! I imagine this is the same for all similar owners in my situation but has anyone had a replacement fitted in-dash that can utilise the functions of the car when it was new, ie: radio, SatNav, rear view camera? Thanks in anticipation. PS, for anyone who's interested I've had a tuning box fitted made by TDI of Chelmsford and it works a treat, I get much lower fuel consumption if on a lower setting and if on the higher setting (1 through 7) the performance is quicker and smoother with no lag, thoroughly recommend.

Hi, l have just joined this club, because of my very recent purchase of an HR-V 1.6 automatic 2002. 3 door. I live in Stoke On Trent, am in my late 60s,s and am disabled, but still able to drive, which I still enjoy. If I say so myself I was a good amateur mechanic, but alas the mind is still willing, but the body is no longer able to juggle the spanners, and to be truthful I do miss it. I have never owned a Honda before, but can say I am amazed at how well this car drives, being smooth, and very responsive for a 22-year-old. So hello all, I will be asking some questions, but I also very much hope I may be able to help others if they get stuck.

Hi Alan There are products on the market that claim to renovate the lens but need patience and elbow grease to do it and then its not always the perfect finish they claim I got my car body repair guy to polish the lens with his magic paste and they have come up brilliant . BAZZER RN 1

Hi there, im hoping someone can help me, My Dad owned a Honda prelude silver 1993 around 2001/2 before he passed, private plate was put onto the vehicle C14NMJ. I can only find information from 2006 to 2012. Last time it was on the road from what I can find is 2010 and the last V5c issue was 2012, if anyone can help with further information on this would be greatly appreciated! Mitchell Pheby

Hi all, its not only the current government ! it is government of all flavours ! Its all to do with " net zero " My car tax has just increased (February) and my car insurance has also increased disproportionately !! The only persons getting new Electric cars are mainly companies and only because of the company tax incentives - The " System " has decided we are going " Carbon Neutral " AND we are going to have to pay for it !!!! China, India and the rest of the world can carry on as usual - but not UK - Oh no we have got to lead the world in this ridiculous race !! What a bunch of numpties. OOooooPs the fun police will be after me 😒

Contact Honda and check ! The AA can carry out a replacement at your work or home if you request it - job takes around 20 mins. Hope that helps.

CRV 2 litre 2003 engine management light TIming chain replaced ...didn't put light off sensors replaced still no joy but then replaced knock sensor with genuine honda knock sensor light went out . Happy finally 😁

From a News report I saw this week, new coal power plants are opening weekly so why is it always us in the UK that have to change to electric cars etc????? The use of fossil fuels in increasing nearly everywhere Countries and territories with the largest number of operational coal power plants worldwide as of July 2023 and have no intentions of changing. China (Mainland} 2 new every week India United States Japan Indonesia Russia Germany Poland Turkey Ukraine Philippines Vietnam Czechia South Korea Kazakhstan Taiwan Australia South Africa BTW Brought a newspaper to day as I do once a week, I buy it to line the bottom of the parrot cage, 9 full pages asking for donations and the same offering luxury cruises and the rest depressing news bottom of the cage best place for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dearly want to go off on one but Christmas is a few days away so I'll wait till after the New Year then turn the air blue!!

Thanks Trevor. I agree about the quality of the tech in our Honda. It's second last in comparison to my daughters Fiat 500. I've driven a lot of hire cars and most other manufacturers offer better kit. At 10 years old and 126k miles I doubt I'll spend the money on a new head unit.

Hi just be careful - I had my air-con diagnosed by a specialist local company - they used a scanner through the OBD socket (under the dash) now the ABS and VSA lights come on after reaching 30 mph and stay on ! I have found a link on youtube on how to reset using pins 9 & 4 on the OBD socket using a paperclip to bridge them in sequence - I have not tried it yet but from what I have read it is a known problem with some cars - and mine seems to be one of them, there was no problem prior to the scanner, so just be aware. Good luck !

Hi all New to the forum and wondered how people have fared with the hybrid CRV. After a lot of narrowing down, it's between a 2019 hybrid CRV (58k) for £20,300 and a Skoda Karoq 1.5 petrol for £18000, both from main dealers. I'd be particularly interested to know: 1) how reliable have people found the hybrid CRV? 2) how comfortable have they found the seats? 3) how have people found Honda dealers (I've heard expensive) and whether people are happy taking their hybrids to trusted local mechanics instead. We do mainly short trips, so a car that does better mpg in city driving would suit us very well. We love the space and I love the hybrid technology. It seems to drive really well. After two test drives, I'm still not quite sure whether the seats are supportive enough (I'm 6 ft 2, 13 and 1/2 stone, and prone to lower back ache), and I'm surprised it doesn't come with roof bars as standard. Grateful for any/all advice. We are hoping to make a decision this weekend.

Hi All, I need some input please (on whether to try and keep my 2000 Honda Civic 1.4 SE alive forever - (or not). I lucked accross this car 11 years ago, and she's been fantastic ever since. I'm easily pleased - if she gets me from A to B and is reliable, I'm happy. So her beauty was an absolute bonus. I say beauty - she's beautiful to me - but she is not in 'mint' condition. She has some scratches to the paintwork and a soggy foot well in the winter that I've never been able to cure completely, but her shape is quite spectacular and she's been a great runner whilst I've had her (and still is). At some pont in her past, the passenger side wing has obviously been replaced (I'd guess with a slightly different civic wing because the fit around the head light is not perfect). A couple of people have told me her shape is iconic and collectable, so ...I'm trying to figure out what to do at this point as she's just failed her MOT quite hard for the first time in a long time. I have decided I'm going to fix her (this time) - but I need to decide how long I'm going to do that - woudl it be an investment if she's potentially collectable? I'm wondering if she is really collectible with the issues I've mentioned? I guess I'm trying to find out if its worth ploughing more money into her or make this the last time (I said the last time would be the last time : ). Or, because I can't have her crushed, do I flog her to an enthusiast who will love her for the rest of her days who has the skills to maintain her (which I don't). I'd really appreciate any advice here. Note - This is not my car - this is a pic I've pulled off the web but its exactly what I have (same colour aswell)

I had no display on the Clock, common problem of dry solder joints on the Transistors, they are really obvious when the clock is dismantled.

Perhaps take it to a local garage for diagnostic.

I would be wary to go with a unknown brand. Stick with michelin, bridgestone and goodyear. They are well known for a reason.

Sounds like the battery is still discharged the best method is to use a battery conditioner which will sort it completely (desulphation process) If not then jump start it again and give it a long run at speed to ensure that it is fully charged but if its an old battery then it may need replacing if it doesn't restart

Electronic Power steering has failed DTC Report from Honda Dealer states Confirmed DTCs (permanent) code 34-05 Power relay Stuck OFF Car has only done 45475 miles Honda Dealer says i need a new EPS unit Any one else had this problem Have Reported issue to Honda awaiting their response re a contribution towards repair

Doesn't sound like a battery problem to Me, assuming You have a second key that You are now using take it to Timpsons and they will produce a generic copy, WAY cheaper than a main dealer!

Have discovered it IS available in Sports mode, but NOT if your speed is too low.

The key objective for comfortable, economical, and safe driving is ‘smoothness’: the absence of sudden or rapid changes in speed or direction. Smooth driving will also reduce the loading and wear on a car’s suspension, brakes, tyres, and drive train. The car’s intelligent sensing functions can be very helpful, but they are far from perfect and left to themselves they will not always provide a smooth drive. This then, is the intelligent driver’s challenge: to anticipate when the sensing functions will not be helpful and cancel/reset them as appropriate. In free-flowing traffic, use ACC in Normal/Econ mode*, set the target speed at what would be the comfortable safe speed if the road was clear. Suspend use temporarily using the cancel pushbutton (or paddle flip) when manoeuvres (yours or others) will cause the ACC response to be too aggressive. For example: · When moving to a clear lane to overtake from a speed well below the target · When a target vehicle moves off a highway onto a slip road. · When a vehicle appears in the ACC line of sight although not on your path (e.g., on a bend-fork). Reset when the circumstances allow. *Choose according to your preference for throttle responsiveness and A/C effectiveness. Use of the paddle to increase regenerative braking will deactivate ACC and can be useful in many circumstances, but if appropriate, it is more efficient to CANCEL ACC and allow the car to slow ‘naturally’ with minimal regenerative braking – rolling resistance, drag and gravity (up-inclines) may slow the car sufficiently or allow later engagement of braking. If needing to slow on a down-incline, paddle invoked regenerative braking will be useful. If vehicles are following, at an appropriate point switch to the use of the foot brake to alert them with the rear brake lights. When ACC is not appropriate because of varying speed limits that would prompt continual ACC set target changes, use intelligent LIM. Use cancel/reset to avoid difficulties when overtaking obstructions e.g., parked, or slow-moving vehicles, or in anticipation of an increased speed limit change where observance right up to the zone end would be unhelpful e.g., possibly prompting following vehicles into rash overtaking or it would delay acceleration on a joining slip road. In town/city traffic, it may be appropriate to use sport mode so that regen level does NOT default back to a low level. Adjust regen to suit the prevailing conditions. Switch towards high regen when congested traffic makes an approximation towards ‘single pedal’ type control useful. (Regen will NOT bring the car to a stop by itself in true one-pedal style. Regen does not help at a few mph.) In a traffic jam with stop/go movement, ‘brake hold’ is a boon. Well, actually, anytime: I never leave home without it – is always switched on. I can’t see any reason not to. When parking, apply the parking brake BEFORE shifting to park (P). This ensures that the weight load of the car is carried by the parking brake and not the transmission lock. I like to shift to neutral (N) and then take my foot of the foot brake to ensure the car settles on the parking brake before I shift to Park (P). (A habit acquired from a cable operated parking brake where the force depended on how hard I applied the brake.) If the car moves when in neutral, you will know there is something wrong with the parking brake. Other ideas/considerations?

I have a Honda legend petrol I would love to put back on the road I need parts any help to find legend parts please contact me

The Traffic lights, my parents bought them back from a hoilday in Spain or Italy I would have been around 20 ish had them fitted in a Hillman Minx Est, a friend who worked at a garage fitted wired them up.

Always thought this sumed up things very well when it first appeared.... Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else Is To Blame I'm A Victim Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Hi Simon Has your Sat Nav got a CD Disc if so you can buy an updated version and this will automatically update the system when you load the CD. Look at the Section from Trevor and Myself for the address of the company who supply the CDs, The are not expensive around £ 29.99 for an updated Disc ,I bought one for my 2008 CRV mK 3 a while ago, loaded it in the Sat Nav and Bingo it is now updated.Hope this helps

Hi Guys & Gals Just bought a Front and Rear View Dash Cam for the CRV and thought I would have a go at fitting it this week, It is not an easy job as some might suggest with havin to tuck the wiring neatly away out of sight in the bodywork panels and making sure all is as covert as possible, I have plugged the power lead into the Cigarette Lighter socket for the time being until I can sort out which fuse I will and can connect it to on a permanent basis, It works fine but one thing to watch out for when feeding the power cable through is that you don't get it caught on any sharp objects, as I did with the result I cut through the cable and it cost me some extra time a little bit of patience having to solder the leads and shrink wrap the cable to make a positive Power Lead connection again. ( My Fault Entirely ) So now it works okay, once installed, you will need to go on to Settings to set the Clock and other preferences you require using the instructions provided with the kit. I have not fitted the Rear View Camera yet ,That's a job for another day and I have a Reversing Camera already fitted to the Sat Nav ,so thats a job in waiting to be done. Best wIshes to all BAZZER RN1

I have been tinkering about today with the CRV and thought I would remove the Thurle Roof Rack as shown on my Profile, I don't use it all of the time and I have noticed that it does cause some wind noise when driving, My Daughter mentioned this when driving on the Bournemouth Spur Road at the Weekend, also of cause I probably think it doesnt help the fuel economy , So off it has come and packed away neatly in the Shed until I require it in future, I have put all the nuts and bolts in plastic bags so I can find them when I need to refit the Roof Rack. so another job done !!!

Lol...some were worthless, even then but others ..... well as they say "if you knew then what you know now"

You certainly had a few Trevor, in foresight as you say if you had kept them all you would be as well off as Derek in Bangers and Cash seems!! 😆

I was going to say the same, check ebay! Or cox motor parts.

If you have seen this on Yesterday have you noticed how few Honda's there are? Is it becasue they are too bad/good to be on there or that Honda owners don't part with them????

Hi All I have noticed lately that my Crv has developed a squeal when depressing the Clutch Pedal, Had a good look through other Honda Owners comments on this and apparently it can be a problem on some Hondas, The clutch is operating fine, so located the Clutch Slave Cylinder and gave it good dose of WD40 and some 3 in 1 around the rubber seals and the slave cylinder piston, okay its not the same as removing the piston and doing a proper job, but the squealing noise has stopped , and a relief not to get this noise every time, I will let others know the outcome. Have a good weekend Guys & Gals BAZZER RN 1

Still running strong with the original engine and transmission.

They will try to sell you a Dual Mass Flywheel sometimes even if its not needed Unless it is worn (e.g clunking when the engine switches off) or you think its worth is while the gearbox is off?

I had the same issue. Managed to come across this company: https://automotivecompressor.co.uk/epages/eshop931745.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/eshop931745/Categories They wanted £450 up front, payable by BACS (no cards) so was very nervous. They had plenty of good reviews so I took the gamble and it paid off! They can refurbish your old one too (may be cheaper...not sure) but they supplied me a new/reconditioned one and it's fitted and working fine. I've had the car back for about a week and the air is cool again. The labour from my garage to fit was still £400 so the whole job isn't cheap but it's cheaper than £2,400!

I would be tempted to part with it and cut your losses Let someone else go through the expense and time of doing it up and start afresh

You sure it is not the wiring coming through from the roof to the tailgate that is broken Pull back the rubber boot that is surrounding the wiring and check the wires

Could possibly be the Fuel Shut-Off Inertia switch (not sure where it is located though) as this would trigger if there is an accident and cut off the fuel
