I do feel that even the mobile phone-based SatNav apps don't appear to be that accurate when it comes down to closed roads, ULEZ zones and so many other bits of important information. I have four different ones I used on my phone when out on the motorbike and they all give different information. I think the current 'best one' I am using is TomTom which you can download onto your phone so no worry about signal outages. I do think Google has lost out on accuracy but does show more info on traffic alerts

I would not say that there is 'an acceptable limit' of clutch judder. Generally, a clutch should not judder in normal use. Many years ago, a clutch was of heavier construction and also had torsion springs built into the driven plate to take up lateral movement on the clutch plate when the torque was being introduced through the clutch mechanism and the springs allowed for a smooth take-up. Nowadays, the springs are deleted so the driven plate is solid and the torsional forces are taken up through the dual mass flywheel. This is where the wear can take place (usually from short-shifting by a previous owner) and can lead to a judder. This will only get worse over time so I would at least insist they change the DMF and clutch at the same time before you reject the car.

How long can you leave the car before battery drains,
Trevor replied to Do na's topic in CR-V 2011 to 2016
Software update to the vehicle I believe may sort this issue Chat to your local dealership to confirm -
I would pop by your local Halfords and get them to identify which ones you need and they can even change them for you at a small cost. I recently went in for a rear wiper blade and took ages for me to correctly identify which one I actually needed but their staff are pretty good at picking the right ones

Did you go for the Honda in the end? If so, how have you found it so far?
-
Looks a decent car with a few bolt on accessories

Hi Troy Tempest (great username by the way) Welcome to the wonderful world of Honda !

Honda CRV 2014 - anyone else with battery problems
Trevor replied to Do na's topic in New Members Introductions
The vehicle may need a software update which may cure it.....chat to your local dealership about this -
Ouch, expensive but good end result though

🙂 quality comedy from an era where (hopefully) not too many people were too offended by it

Its a 20mph limit through Wales now apparently?
-
I believe they will be manual if they are auto then you can find a two-way rocker switch on the door panel with the symbol for the mirrors folding otherwise only the switch for the glass to move

Sounds like blocked EGR, DPF, Turbo Variable Vanes, many things really. As b4u2 has stated it needs a diagnostic test to determine what is going wrong

Funnily enough I have just ordered a pair of Avon tyres for my motorbike. I see that they are closing the factory in Somerset the end of this year. Been bought out by Michelin - so seems good deals on existing Avon tyre stocks at the moment

One of the best Honda's built in my opinion Have been running one of these for many years and no problems at all Curious username .... you don't have an american muscle car with a Hemi engine by any chance?
-
I wouldn't take the chance of using it in any inner city ULEZ zones....the fines are not worth the risk
-
Totally agree with b4u2 your life is in your hands and if you pay low prices you'll probably end up with Chinese 'ditch-finders' and compromise all handling and traction
-
Believe you will need a scantool to do this I use an icarsoft scan tool which has the function

I love that advert and music....Honda did well with this one

Mk 7 5 door hatch 1.6 exec. Car Radio- code E?
Trevor replied to stellac's topic in Civic 2000 to 2006
That doesn't sound good about the rack being heavy to use, but as long as it is driveable and safe then so be it not sure about why the radio is giving an E code but chances are it stands for Error and maybe worth resetting the battery to see if it clears.....if the garage cleared the memory then I would ask them to reset the radio and clock -
All orange warning lights coming on every so often.
Trevor replied to Jinx99's topic in Civic 2015 to 2021
What does the light look like? -
how did you get on with it?
-
Sounds like the battery is still discharged the best method is to use a battery conditioner which will sort it completely (desulphation process) If not then jump start it again and give it a long run at speed to ensure that it is fully charged but if its an old battery then it may need replacing if it doesn't restart
-
Not sure it does but would certainly make it easier to withdraw it from the position it is in
-
The adjustment (if any) would be on the throttle body housing where the intake trunking meets the engine Not entirely sure if it has drive by wire throttle though?
