I've not had much luck buying from China via Ebay lost a few ££££££ so wouldn't chance it unless you can afford to take a chance.

The same as when driving, tyre pressures increase on their own in hot weather. I don't know if the tyre pressure alarm points can be altered in the car to allow for the extra pressure in the tyres ( I'm not overly familiar with the Jazz as it's my wifes), but if not then you could physically lower the tyre pressures by a couple of lbs to stop the alarm showing. Don't forget to increase the pressures when the weather cools down. There should be enough leeway in the settings to allow for some variation in pressures.

Finally found the problem. It was my passenger’s rare ABS sensor, which had debris and was cleaned properly. All warning lights never came back.

I am a new member and wanted to ask if anyone would like to buy the above?

Just got my 2004 Honda Civic IMA Hybrid Saloon. Nice leather interior with the Executive trim.

Is everyone with a EN:Y1 aware there is a software update at your dealer to update the charging of the vehicle, not sure what it is for exactly but getting it done this Friday. Possibly to cure faults arising following fast charge...

Hi there, I'm selling my much loved DC5, it's absolutely stunning and if you're in the market for a DC5 I strongly expect this is one of the very best out there. I really want the car to go to another enthusiast, someone who will look after it as well as myself. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/18463363 Thanks for looking.

Hello, I live in Cornwall and recently acquired a 2012 1.4 Honda Jazz. I had a couple of Accords back in the 80’s and quite a few Honda bikes.

Just purchased 1999 HRV in immaculate condition with only 28,000 verified miles. Only issue is when initially pulling off the car shudders/vibrates occasionally but only for a few seconds then drives perfectly. I've heard comment of transmission fluid and filter? Is that possible?

Members Very sad to have to let my CRV go. Petrol, auto, 2002 183,000 miles £250, been in the family from new..The cat was cut out/stolen while parked. Most times she passed her MOT first time and very sad to see her go. No MOT and not taxed. She would need to be towed or put on a trailer. Location Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.

I would say when accelerating very lightly but only at the lower speeds of between 20 to 30mph, seems better once warmed up, looking at the service history the differential oil was done 3 years ago but cant see any history of a ATF fluid change so may just book that in, will also ask them if they have any software updates for the transmission.

Timing belt breaking? More than likely a tensioner or guide pulley out of alignment (usually some grit on the fitting side of the tensioner and the belt walks off)

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

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,

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

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

So, was collected and driven back by a member of staff. I followed thinking what have I done, why did I buy it and what am I going to do with it??!! Back at work and in the yard and all the staff came out to take the p155. Having been sat for several months unloved, it was rather dirty with moss nicely growing in certain areas, nice! So, the one lad who laughed the most at my latest financial disaster was assigned the job of cleaning it 😊 Insured and taxed it and at 5pm I was off home (pub) for my maiden journey, it’s 2.6 miles to said home and in that short time it felt great. The seats are like armchairs and it’s whisper quiet. Although alarmingly the fuel gauge moved on that short journey, it does that often! We are very busy at work so apart from a wash and a levels check, I decided to dump my Merc in the yard and carry on driving the new steed. First load of fuel went in and off I went, wafting around in a £500 car that I knew nothing about, what could possibly go wrong? As part of my job I travel to carry out estimates on vehicles that require restoration/repairs. Just so happened day 3 of ownership, I had to do a 50 mile round trip to a customers, obviously took the Legend…. Didn’t miss a beat, well it had a funny noise on L/H bends but hey ho! The following weekend I treated it to the quickest of quick machine polishes, wow it a big car! Will post pics of the results honest! Now it was a little shiny green machine, I started to like this car, like a lot… Carried on driving it everyday, then realised MOT was due in 3 days… No worries, got it booked in for 31st Oct at 13.00. Thought we best have a little look to show willing, thankfully one of my guys is a true Honda fan (Lee I blame you for this purchase) and he got it on the lift for a good look round. I mentioned the ‘cha cha cha’ noise in passing so wheels came off the rear, started taking the pads out and the material fell on the floor…. That will be the noise then! Obviously, parts for Legends are plenty full….. BUT, seeing at they share a lot of the braking parts with other Honda’s, pads were on the shelf at our motor factors (thanks Autosupplies) discs were ordered and delivered the next day, the day of the MOT… Thankfully Lee go the car on the lift, replaced rear discs and pads, road tested and parked on the front ready for it’s MOT with 45 mins to spare. My other tech Dave, took it round for the MOT and the tester couldn’t believe what good condition it was in underneath, so 40 minutes later a clean MOT was received and I could then make a plan going forward. As I bought it with only 2 weeks mot, I wasn’t going to spend much money until I knew it was a ‘goodun’ More fuel went into the surprisingly small tank and I carried on driving it everyday. Full service kit ordered and fitted. So far in the 4 weeks in my ownership it has covered 700 luxurious miles, it just gets better and better! Apart from the fuel, £260 of super unleaded has so far been pumped into the tank, to be fair I still have ¾ of a tank left as of today. Right, next instalment will be the issues with it and the plan going forward 😊 Oh and what i have purchased so far........

Bought a 2005 Accord 2.4 exc for £1k as a project car, car had full Honda service history but pulled to the right, sorted out that issue by changing the warped rota and flushing the power steering fluid and filled with Honda spec plus fitted a new aux belt, now car drives great, so far have fitted a ugen style spoiler , piper cross air filter and painted the front grill, Mods line up to be done cat back exhaust, coilovers, remap type s body kit 18 inch alloys will update photos as i go

Cheers Trevor.

Oil levels are spot on, that was my first guess, going to change the oil filter and see if that solves it, if not I think it's going to be the oil pump 🤦

Shold have been Oh dear hahahahah ! I've stop using it now

Just had to replace my CRV with another, this time the 2ltr petrol I-MMD version. Now need to get used to a new driving style.

That should work..

I assume you don't have the recirculate vent closed, sounds as if you aren't introducing fresh air. Try auto setting on heater that will bring in dry air as it will utilise the A.C

not sure of the differences but worth asking Honda parts department who could give you the relevant part numbers

A tow of three seats, one single and a double, and the folding double from he back of the Stepwagon. All covered in cream faux leather and in excellent condition. Free to a good home. Collection from Exeter.

Interesting: I also have a CRV I want to sell (so i can upgrade to a newer Honda CRV).

I measured the battery voltage with a multimeter. It was around 2.3V when it should have been 3.3! I guess one of the cells inside the battery must have suddenly failed to cause such a sudden voltage drop. I replaced the battery with another of the same batch and so far, so good.

My car is a honda hr-v year 2000 4wd 1.6cc petrol. This car was not ULEZ compliant until recently. As Transport for London only deems petrol cars with euro 4 standard as compliant, and my car is a 2000 model with a euro 3 standard, it automatically went into the non-compliance big sack. As I work just inside of London and need my car to get there, I was faced with the upheaval of replacing a perfectly working car for something else at considerable costs and hassle. I then by chance discovered that all hr-v models from 2001 onwards (petrol) are all automatically deemed compliant and do not have to pay the charge. As my car has the exact same engine as those later models I decided to do some research and then I discovered that the models for years 1999 and 2000 should also be registered as ULEZ compliant by TFL as they are low polluting vehicles. Their NOx values are 0.04 g/km which is well below the ULEZ euro 4 threshold of 0.08 NOx g/km. That's nearly half of the maximum NOx permitted for compliance. What I did to make it compliant and you will need to do if you want to do the same: Email Honda europe and request a CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY for your vehicle. This is their email; coc@honda-eu.com You will be asked to fill in a form, scan or take a pic with your phone and send back to them. They will send you the certificate of conformity in a letter to the address you have specified in this form. The letter may take up to 2 weeks to arrive. In the emissions section of your certificate your NOx should have a value of 0.041 g/km Then you have to register yourself and your car as a user with Transport for London through their page as this is requirement to contest the ULEZ status of your vehicle. You'll need to set up username, password and payment details so when you drive in the zones (congestion charge zone or ulez zone) you will be charged automatically. I had this set up a year ago or so to avoid a penalty charge in case I drove in and forgot to pay later etc, which is easier to do than it sounds. It takes a while to register but it's easy and you can de-register yourself after the process has finished if you wish. Once you have received the certificate of conformity you have to go on to TFL's ULEZ page and find a section where you can say your car should be ULEZ exempt. This is the link; https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/compliance-registration/before-you-start You will be asked to upload your V5 vehicle document and the Certificate of Conformity as evidence of your claim. Add that your vehicle's NOx emissions fall bellow the ULEZ euro 4 standard of NOx 0.08 g/km and that you kindly ask for it to be registered as compliant and exempt from the charge. If the link fails, you can email Transport for London directly here; cclondon@cclondon.com and explain that your petrol car, even though being a (1999 or 2000) model it is still compliant as its NOx emissions fall bellow the euro 4 standard of NOx 0.08 g/km. Remember to attach the V5 document of your car and certificate of conformity as your evidence for the claim. Transport for London may take up to 10 working days to reply to your email, which in my case they did. I got an email with a pdf attachement saying that my application had been successful and I did not have to pay the charge. I also checked in their own website checker by introducing my registration and voi-la! my car appeared as compliant and exempt from the charge. Big hooray! A note of advice, your application may be rejected the first time by TFL saying that your car is listed as euro 3 and not euro 4 standard. If that is the case, just send email and politely request again that your car is registered as compliant based on its emissions and not its euro standard rating. If your NOx emissions are below 0.08 g/km and you have a certificate from your manufacturer with those values, then you car shouldn't pay ULEZ. I hope this can help anyone like it helped me. Good luck.

Yes i have found some information on roof rack, apparently thule fitting kit for Daihatsu sirion will work. But so far all attempts at finding a towbar have failed. Not giving up yet tho. Yes i have import too.

Good solution to stop dash reflections, use carbon black cooker hood filter material, it kills reflections and only costs £3-99 a large sheet

This worked for me a couple of months ago: https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=4qpP6QRT6r105RJ1sELgM7#:~:text=Honda vehicles with Garmin Navigation,map updates at no cost

Welcome jps71, sorry if no one has said hello. Lots of great advice and help on here if you ever need it Alan

Welcome 🙂

Hi, E.NY1 ordered and should be collected early September, cracking deal £41k 5yrs Servicing, 5yrs Breakdown cover, 0% APR. Having spent some 40yrs in the motor trade, now retired. I for one have not taken any notice whatsoever from Journalists reviews, after all that's all they are, most have no idea about motor vehicles, but good with words. I have had a Fiat 500e for the past three years and now need something a little larger, hence the E.NY1 It fits exactly what we need from a vehicle and from my experience with Honda I have no doubts it will carry on the reliability they are famed for, unlike Fiat. Never, ever listen to opinion, only to those that know!

After numerous garages failed to sort the problem I took it to a man I found on Facebook, it turned out it was a computer problem. I think he rebooted the system and cleared the fault and I haven’t had any problem since. If you live near the Sheffield area I can give you his name. I was also advised not to use cruise control anymore as this adds to the problem.
