Honda crv 2002 2.0 petrol its timing belt or chain?
Trevor replied to bitzu's topic in CR-V 2001 to 2006
I would recommend replacing the oil and filter with quality parts and more frequently than normal service intervals suggest Honda do not have any reputation for timing chains failing so you should feel more relaxed about driving it. -
The trim should just pull off and is held by plastic clips which may destroy as you pull the trim off but are replacable Be careful not to allow the belt to fully retract into the reel (use a sandwich bag clip or similar) and will only retract when in the vertical position Good luck and let us know how you get on with it

Not sure of Google maps option but would suggest he pay a visit to the Honda dealership and they should be able to guide him through the setup

2018 Civic 1.0 Heated Rear Window Not Working
Trevor replied to Caribbeanwind's topic in Civic 2015 to 2021
I would be tempted to peel back the rubber gaiter that runs from the vehicle body to the tailgate and see if there are any wires broken in there -
Honda Civic Type S GT i-VTec - Sync New Electronic key
Trevor replied to captainfuzzyface's topic in Civic 2006 to 2011
I would be surprised if you could just synch a blank key to a car as many thieves would just do this It would be a dealership or Honda specialist job to code it to the car -
I would refer to your dealer and get them to investigate any concerns At least you can also state that you questioned it if anything does go wrong with the vehicle
-
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)

It does sound like it is the strut top mounts that are worn if these have not been replaced yet

Thanks Alan and totally agree that with the belief that hopefully 2025 will be a better year for us all 🙂

Definitely let the engine idle for a while to get warm as the combustion pressures that occur on a diesel engine are highest when cold and can lead to cracked heads, etc I always advocate starting the engine first and then plug in seatbelt, adjust heater,radio,etc to allow it to warm enough to drive away with less detonation when its at the initial stages of combustion.

I have motorbike boots that make a hell of a din when I'm walking in them

Yellow oil can light with wavy line underneath with (!)
Trevor replied to Colin Hogg's topic in Jazz 2008 to 2015
just thinking that if you are going to change it that you will lose a bit of oil so why not put a little bit more in now and see if the light stays off and what is over the level will be lost with changing the sensor I would imagine -
Sounds like it all turned out okay and any repairs are understandable maintenance tasks which any car you'd have to attend to, so nothing out of the ordinary to be concerned about at the moment then. You got a good deal on the car by the sounds of it 🙂 Thanks for sharing the updates

let us know how it all goes -
Great news about the MOT and very interesting research on the car's history....look forward to the next installment

Honda Civic. 1.6, Hatch back, 2004-2005. where order parts
Trevor replied to Phill. T's topic in 2015 to 2022 Accord
I would start with EuroCarParts and they also have huge discount offers most days If you are after performance parts (lowered springs, uprated dampers, etc) then DemonTweeks is a good company to order parts from -
Thanks for posting the pics.....its starting to look good and great colour too.

I would check the door switches first as if any of them are faulty then this could be the reason for the alarm sounding. Open each door in turn and see if the interior light comes on and goes off (including the tailgate) if you find one that doesn't behave as it should then that may be the cause. Also try a battery reset to see if that silences the alarm

I have done that before on a Nissan X-Trail and worked fine. Just keep the inner and outer driveshaft joints where they are and take the shaft out from it
-
I think all the bases have been covered, bigger battery, software updates on the vehicle....I would definitely invest in a booster pack just in case
-
As it is a brand new car, I would be tempted to pop back to the dealership to ask them if there is a way to change the view settings

Yellow light means it needs topping up generally
