Wishing everone a Great Christmas and 2026

Hi all, admins delete if inappropriate, either way thankyou for your help and advice. Up for grabs here: 1998 Honda Civic Aerodeck 1.8 Vti for sale | eBay

Thanks again for your advice

They used to sell CV gaiters that were split and you placed them over the CV joint and ran glue along the length to secure it along with the clips each end. They sort of worked but were a little bit rigid so would pull off the joint but at least they lasted long enough for an MOT test :-)

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

It's has done well for 20 years so a hole about the size of a pin head is good going, so think my spot of glue will do the job for now.

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!!

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 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

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.

Just for info, purchased a steel wheel and tyre from The Wheelshop in same size as OEM. It fits into the spare wheel well fine, but only just height wise.

My 2021 CR-V went into Brayley’s Honda, Ewell on 17 December 2024 and they identified the problem as the Brake Pedal Simulator. The part was ordered on 18 December, none were available in the UK so the part was put on ‘back order’ and finally arrived from Japan on 14 March. With the repair completed, I got the car back on 19 March 2025 after 92-days! Have to say that Brayley’s, who thought I qualified for a complementary hire car were pretty good but Honda UK were awful. They said that I was not entitled to a hire car as my vehicle was out of warranty even though the repair was being fixed as a ‘warranty’ repair and Honda were picking up the full cost of the part and labour. Brayley’s loaned me a vehicle for 4-days so that I could visit my 99-year-old father on his birthday but I had to pay £30 to cover insurance. The MOT was due while the vehicle was in the garage and Brayley’s picked up the cost as a good will gesture – well done Brayley’s. One of the reasons I purchased a Honda in the first place was due to their reliability…..As I left the service area/showroom one of the sales people ask me if I wanted to discuss burying a new Honda – what do you think I said?

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

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?

BTW I eventually realised that the mystery symbol instructs the driver to press on the brake pedal before turning on the ignition and starter. So it is nothing to do with the problem.But I would still welcome comments on my non-starting problem.

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 start by checking the gearbox oil and see if there is enough in there and maybe consider replacing the oil? Another way to avoid the crunching is the using the old method known as double declutching. Or even a slight blip on the throttle on downshifting can also work to eliminate the gear crunching

I have had recalls sorted free of charge at my local honda dealer and they normally check the car over to make sure everything works as it should.

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)

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

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

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.

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,

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

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

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.... 🤣😇🖖👍
