It's quite disconcerting to think that the dealers are confused about the update. Be interested to see where this goes

Hi Adrian - welcome to the Club Wow! fabulous mileage for an old Honda, but that was back in an era when cars were made properly and lasted for years. I run a BMW Z3 which is 25 years old and 125k and have never really put a spanner to it in anger. Starts everytime and drives without any squeaks or rattles - a properly built car from that era. Great to have you onboard and feel free to post up some pics of the old girl

Hi.....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

The cases are just that and tend to fit quite well - it refreshes the external look of the fobs and usually has new rubber button inserts. Check the remote microswitches inside are secure on the circuit board as sometimes they detach and require soldering

Its refreshing to hear good news about car dealerships as you don't often read too many positive reviews about them. Thanks for sharing with the club and glad it was all resolved at nominal cost to yourself

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
