have you tried ebay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=39680-TLO-GO1YB&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4582968.m570.l1313

You can try on eBay (discount code at the top of the page) and still find Honda genuine fluids on there. I would definitely stick to genuine fluids if possible

If the symbol disappears once you have the brake pedal depressed then no problem but if still illuminated then could be a faulty pedal switch - try pressing harder on the brake pedal as well

Hi....welcome to the club Once Honda is in your blood you'll always come back to one.

Here's an old topic discussing the issue

the belt will gradually 'walk off' the pulleys if misaligned

It may well be the clutch plate is slightly dragging (probably due to very little use over the years)...putting some more miles on it should cure that issue. Another thing to also consider is replacing the rear differential fluid as this can lead to similar issues (use only genuine Honda fluid)

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

one of my all-time favourite adverts on TV

I would assume the red warning lamp is a state of charge warning - may need to scan the vehicle to see if there are any fault codes present or live data that can show the charge rate

Not sure of the exact age of your car but the battery must be the original one and been on there for a few years which would be a natural occurrence. However, unless you can see excessive misting up inside the car then I don't imagine there is any water ingress to worry about

Not sure if your i-VTEC engine has a turbo (which could be the cause) but I would highly recommend taking it to a garage to have any fault codes read to determine the exact cause of the issue. Please let us know how you get on with it

Does it judder at a stable speed or when accelerating or decelerating?

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)

Becoming quite a rare car and would be a nice project for someone if it was bought as a whole car, would be an awful shame to break it for parts

I would start with a polish of the covers and see how it goes from there - you may be surprised how much difference it will make to the light output

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

I would try another Honda dealership if they have not found the issue. You could also look at the tyres - if there is a lump or deformation on the tyre or a crack or other damage on the rim then this can cause similar symptoms. If the vibration disappears over the speed you mention then it has to be wheel imbalance

it may make things easier to search for leaks and water trails

Not sure of the procedure if you haven't got the paddles. I would try another dealership to see if you get better service from them

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

Not entirely sure what the sensor is for but the fact that it is leaking is a good reason to replace i reckon Your Honda dealership parts department should be able to identify it from their computerised parts identification system Let us know what you find out

Here is an interesting article and some useful info in there - particularly about colder climates

That is certainly an odd one as I would have said the battery was completely flat with those symptoms However, it may be a case of locking and unlocking the vehicle a couple of times as it sounds like it had gone into sleep mode (or rather a deep sleep) with the time it was sat there. Keep an eye on it and do let us know if you find out any information or it occurs in the future
