That appears to be the earlier version with single oxygen sensor that only measures earlier Euro standards emissions. The later version which is on the car measure both pre and post catalytic converter oxygen levels to compare and adjust feeling to optimise and measure the efficiency of the cat.

Hi all, I have just inherited a 1981 Honda Civic Hondamatic 3dr in Shetland White with a blue interior. My grandad bought it new, grandmother took it on when he passed now left to me following her passing. Looking to get it back on the road properly following a video made by The Brake Show. Any help/advice/parts is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sean

Hi...welcome to the Club Fantastic car to own - haven't seen one on the road in years. Good to have you onboard

OK, so mine's done 113k, what's the highest on here?

Well it does seem you have to remove a far bit of trim to access the gator so I've used a small spot of glue to mend the very small hole and it looks OK. I do love my Honda but unlike my Ford Transit where you could get to things with ease. Honda's are so well made it's a task to do anything I'm happy to say!!

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 liked my Volvo's and Transit's but my first Honda a 2005 CRV is without question IMO the best car ever. The extras and finish is just the best

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.

Smart looking motor... Honds think of every thing ever a map to show where you feet go 😁

Hi to all members new and old. Thought it was time to sign up to this forum being a Honda owner for many years. Anyway a little bit on me First Honda - 1997 CRV - 2.0l stick shift ( hooked on Honda's after that) Prelude 2.0l - 2001 Various CRV's - 2005 onwards Various Civic's - 2004 onwards inc a Type R 2009 HRV - 2003 Accord 2007 and 2009 Currently running a Jazz 1.4 Si model 2010 - Bought in Sep last year with 91k on , one previous owner , FSH . Initially as a stop gap car when my previous one had to go back to finance company , but you know what love this little car , cheap to fuel and cheap to run , carried four adults with luggage for weekends away. Recently got the air con gassed and still returns around 45+ mpg when running around town with it full on. Just serviced it , and sailed through it's MOT with 2 advisories - bulbs for licence plate and slight blow on exhaust. So to date I have spent £20 on new wipers and £40 on air con. Never had such low cost running vehicle. Work to do: Replace front pipe on exhaust Replace rear wiper blade Replace both licence plate light fittings( after replacing the bulbs I could see the plastic clips are broken on both sides and both lights the lights themselves were just about hanging in so had to hold in with some industrial tape for now ) As you can tell I am a Honda fanatic ha ha Jay

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...

Me and the missus have owned this car for 15 years, we bought it with 14000 miles on in 2010 and it was my pride and joy. We are moving to Devon in the next few weeks and unfortunately we have to let it go as its not really suitable for the local roads down there. This has been my wifes daily driver for the most part as I have a company car. Its done 97000 miles and been serviced every 10k (some main dealer when it was newer). Its had the transmission fluid changed and Ive recently spruced it up with replacement bumpers and headlight restoration. It has had some paint but in general its a really tidy example with none of the usual water ingress that seems to be common. Air con works but needs re-gassing. Absolutley bomb proof this car. If there are no takers on here its getting traded in for the wifes new car. Sensible offers please. Photos to follow. A chance to own a genuine low mileage 2 owner car thats been looked after and cared for. Its not been hammered or driven hard. I even put the original Bridgestone Potenza tyres on it until they stopped making them. Message me if youre interested. Cheers

Hi Tiz, have you looked at these ites?? https://hondaspareparts.co.uk/collections/discontinued-parts?srsltid=AfmBOooXh0sPT4xdU8LmRqY3qqXYnlAdsMZQs1kzkyU7VYgAjns1oGDl https://www.parts-honda.uk/

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.

Hi, I have just found this site and joined. I purchased a ENY:1 recently, so I'm really interested in other owners experiences and opinions.

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.

i had the same problem on my 2009 crv and i cleared it by removing the nozzle and attaching my electric tyre pump to hose with a adapter used to inflate airbeds and blowing air back towards the wash bottle.it cleared my line and i haven't had a problem since.hope this helps as got to be easier than removing all the panels to get to the hose.

Hi Trev...Thanks for the reply....I'm just about to go to the garage...unfortunately there were no codes to be read which seems quite strange....I've just taken the car around the block this morning and it was fine, so I'm thinking it's to do with transmission once the oil has warmed up,...the engine it's self whilst out of gear sounds fine, so that's points to transmission too, but of course I guess there are lots of other potential candidates which I wouldn't have a clue about,filters,sensors, Cats and so on...again many thanks...John

Hi thanks for your comment. My car is a2022 jazz hybrid. 2yrs 10 months old, with 17000 miles. I wouldn't expect the battery to go flat after using the car locally al l week. I'm taking it to honda to have the electrics checked over...

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)

I would say that is could be a bit of air in the clutch hydraulic system which could do with another bleed. It also wouldn't do any harm to change (or at least check the level) the gearbox oil....to at least eliminate that possibility

Hi all, just purchased my second CRV, only had the last one for around 11 months, well impressed thought i would like a hybrid to try. Tried a 21 plate ex, loved it, and thought you know what this is for me, so yep bought it. Just one point, the car has folding door mirrors which i work manually from the door switch. Is there a way to automatically fold them when i lock the car with the remote? Anyway she's a brilliant car, called yeah yeah you guessed, Hondo. Bye all have a great time with your "Hondo's" atb Dave

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

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

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.🤞

Hi, like others here I have just bought a honda jade import. Am looking for the OEM or ID and a supplier/source of the tie rod as it is apparently unlike other Honda ones. may also need to replace the ball joint as the rubber appears a bit cracked. any help or advice appreciated. bee

Right....... A bit of history of said LEGend.... Vehicle was originally purchased new from B & H Motors, 1460 High Road, London. First registered 8th August 1997 to the gentleman I purchased the car from on 15th October 2024, so some 27 years in the same ownership. Colour is Eucalyptus Pearl green (colour code G-83P) with Black leather interior. Spec of these are pretty good, 4 electric windows ( 2 of them work but we will come back to that later), electric sunroof, climate control, 6 disc cd changer, heated front seats, remote central locking, plenty of airbags, traction control, cruise control etc. Which for a ’97 model car I don’t think is to bad. It’s got service history right from its PDI on 7th August 1997, first service carried out 21st August 1998 with 4167 miles, next on the 18th September 1999 with 10149 miles, 7th August 2000 with 16588 miles to include coolant and brake fluid change, 4th August 2001 with 22296 miles, 20th July 2002 with 28028 miles to include coolant change, brake fluid change and cambelt, 4th August 2003 with 36302 miles, 21st July 2004 with 40635 miles, 19th July 2007 with 45599 miles, 23rd July 2008 with 46628 miles, 28th July 2009 with 48026 miles, 1st August 2010 with 49156 miles. That’s when the odometer failed.. but service’s carried on annually from independent garages (invoices supplied). During 2007 the owner moved jobs/retired so the Legend wasn’t doing journeys to London for work so was used to ‘potter’ about. As mentioned, a hand written note stated the rough mileage over the years since the odometer failed. If this is correct then the car has ticked over 63k miles. Will only know the true mileage once the odometer is fixed, apparently the mileage is stored in the ‘brain’. Last 3 years he has only used it to go from his house to church twice a week (12 miles) and the local Sainsburys once a week (5 miles)…. The original handbook is present and correct, still has the original Honda supplying dealer business card. Every MOT certificate is in the file along with lots of invoices! Regarding the number plate, when registered it was assigned R274 VLW, which could only have stayed on the car for a short while because its 1st MOT has the plate LIL 2***, this number is on his wifes car today! In 2012, the number plate it has on today M16 BUP was assigned/registered to it. He told me the story of said plate. His grandchildren purchased the cherished plate for him as a present, the significance of the plate is M (he was born in May), 16 (was born on the 16th) and BUP because they used to call him Buppy when they were children! I’m very tempted to put the original plate back on the car and give him back the M16 BUP on a retention certificate. Wow, didn’t realise I could waffle on so much! Apologies and if you have read this far, thank you. Have I missed anything out on it’s history? To be continued………

Sorry, just got back on here! Sailed through it's MOT with no advisories i'm pleased to say 🙂

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 🤦

Give this company a try https://www.iceboxauto.com/iba-honda-entertainment-systems

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.

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.

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.

Will do. You won't be able to shut me up.... 🤣😇🖖👍
