  1. Hi....welcome to the Club! That sounds like a perfectly reasonable price for what would be a great little runabout/work horse. Let us know how you get on with acquiring it
  2. I would say that a carbon clean from a company like TerraClean would sort these issues. Sounds like carbon build up in the intake side of the engine
  3. I would stand my ground on this one as it is clearly a known fault and if they cured one side then they can do the other as its the same issue. Let us know how you get on with it
  4. Hi Lee....welcome to the Club The price for the second service is usually more because of the level of work and parts is greater. Compared to a second service on my Harley, that price you quoted is cheap 😞
  5. Hi Bosco....welcome to the Club Superb couple of Honda's you have there and huge amounts done to them. Good to have you onboard!
  6. Hi BAZZER RN 1 ....welcome to the Club! You can't go wrong with a CR-V, superb car with huge reliability. The X-Type is also a great car to drive but not as reliable as the Honda unfortunately. Good to have you onboard!
  7. There has been an issue with Honda clocks where it has been resetting to the year 2001 so may be related to this?
  8. Hi Steve.....welcome to the Club Just goes to show how reliable the Honda FR-V really is. Same goes with most of the Honda range, all good cars! Good to have you onboard and some other members from Honda Karma have found their way here
  9. Hi Dick....welcome to the Club You certainly enjoy your CR-V's then if this is your fourth one. Good to have you onboard!
  10. It could be the immobiliser control unit as some Honda models seem to suffer this issue. You can get a replacement unit and key to match secondhand and fit yourself
  11. Ebay link to advert: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203927078335
  12. It sounds like it wasn't serviced before you bought it then I would argue this if it is the case as the vehicle should have been checked over before sale
  13. Hi.....welcome to the forum! Good to have you onboard.
  14. Hi Mark Good to have you onboard
  15. Maybe worth removing the trim from the tailgate as had the same issue on a Toyota recently and found a plastic clip had dropped into the latch mechanism and was stopping it from closing
  16. I would check the plugs to see they are not wet when cranking over the engine Also check the plug gaps are correct
  17. iceboxautos are a good supplier of aftermarket audio designed to fit the CRV model you have
  18. Have heard they do the job well but not sure about quality
  19. They have had issues with air con pump pulleys disintegrating so maybe yours is on the way out and is displaying the symptoms you describe. Look at how the pulley runs with the AC switched on and if there is any deflection when running
  20. Sounds like a crank sensor issue to me, would measure if there is any output as no fuel pressure would be generated if no engine revs
  21. larrygreen1 How did you get on with this issue?
  22. 1986 sounds familiar to me also.
  23. The all-new Honda Civic has been engineered to ensure that its e:HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) powertrain, steering and suspension deliver the engaging levels of performance, dynamic response and feedback that have always been central to the Civic’s appeal. The result is a car that blends a rewarding driving experience with highly competitive efficiency and emissions. Available later in 2022, the 11th generation Civic is the final mainstream Honda model to be electrified, following the CR-V, Honda e, Jazz, Jazz Crosstar, and HR-V. The car will feature the most advanced iteration of the brand’s award-winning e:HEV full-hybrid powertrain. This combines a power-dense lithium-ion battery and two compact, powerful electric motors with a newly-developed 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol engine, which achieves industry-best equalling 41% thermal efficiency and features a direct injection system optimised for faster and more efficient combustion and greater torque output. In addition to direct injection system, a number of technologies such as low temperature active catalyst, and a modified design on intake port help contribute to improved fuel economy whilst achieving specific output. The result of these technological advancements is a WLTP ‘Combined’ CO2 emission figure of just 108g/km (WLTP), with fuel economy an equally impressive 4.7l/100km. This exceptional efficiency is combined with a maximum power output of 135kW/ 184PS and 315Nm maximum torque, ensuring the all new Civic is a compelling driver’s car within the C-segment. This superior efficiency and energy management has been achieved through the application of innovative new technologies. For example, the latest version of Honda’s Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) is 23mm flatter and 1kg lighter than previous iterations, but with a higher cell count of 72 – the largest fitted to any of the current Honda e:HEV range. The slimline IPU sits under the rear seats, maximising interior space and usability. A new Power Control Unit (PCU), located under the bonnet, enables the faster charge and discharge of electricity, contributing a further 12% increase in power output over previous e:HEV applications. The increase in power density and output of the PCU increases electrical output, allowing EV drive to take more of the load, and is handled by new aluminium-core high-voltage wiring. Aluminium wiring will contribute to 40% of weight reduction compared to conventional copper wiring. The advanced powertrain shifts seamlessly between EV, hybrid and engine drive with no input from the driver. Four drive modes – Eco, Normal, Sport and a new Individual mode – can be selected by the driver to tailor the vehicle’s response in the area of powertrain, steering and display. This engaging flexibility is underpinned with exceptional levels of refinement, with close attention paid to eliminating unwanted noise and vibration. A secondary balancer shaft, and high rigidity crankshaft within the internal combustion engine ensure smooth running, whilst unwanted engine noise has been countered through the increased application of insulation on the intake manifold and engine cover. In addition to these steps, clever application of Active Noise Control (ANC) further limits any noises that could resonate into the cabin, whilst Active Sound Control (ASC) heightens the sporty tones of the internal combustion unit. Complimenting the exceptional power output is the chassis’ design. The Civic e:HEV has been developed with particular focus on steering response and feedback, heightening the driver’s sense of connection with the car. Improved stability in a straight line and over uneven road surfaces has been achieved thanks to a 35mm longer wheelbase and an 18mm wider rear track compared to the car’s predecessor. Cornering stability and overall input response has been further improved with increased body rigidity and the application of low friction ball joints and revised front dampers; combining to enhance the dynamic feel. To enhance driving pleasure and response a new control logic, ‘winding control’, ensures that the internal combustion engine’s operation is maintained during cornering on twisting roads. This enables the car to deliver instant acceleration, providing a truly dynamic sensation when accelerating. On the highway, the additional torque and electric drive provides powerful overtaking acceleration when at high speed but with reduced engine revving noise, for relaxed long-distance travel. “This is the latest generation of our industry-leading e:HEV technology, which itself is the culmination of over 20 years experience of designing, building and refining hybrid drive systems,” said Tomoyuki Yamagami, Large Project Leader for the all-new Civic e:HEV. “By carefully assessing the broad range of use-cases and operational environments, we have been able to take a ‘whole vehicle’ approach, making it a fun, highly compelling and engaging driver’s hybrid.”
  24. Hi Elizabeth Rider.....welcome to the Club I would strongly advise to take the car to an independent garage who you can trust and find that the cost would be nearer £350 to £400 for all the discs and pads. In reality the brake components would be no different from any other car brakes, except for ceramic brake discs as used on supercars, and any quality aftermarket components can be used. As for wear, the brakes on the Jazz would not wear out any different from any other car. However, being an automatic the wear on the front brakes would be a lot greater than a manual car. Saying that, the rear brakes should not be worn out anywhere near the level of the front brake wear. Let us know how you get on with this issue
  25. Most dash panels unclip with some moderate force but careful with using anything but fingers or plastic trim tools. The panel surrounding the gear lever should pull up from clips and then you should be able to see what is securing the compartment and lid
