A remap of the engine ECU could cure this.
Found when I remapped my CR-V for economical and driveability reasons that the gears had 'longer legs' and contributed to better gear usage
Check for broken earth cables connecting from the battery negative terminal to the gearbox/engine and other associated wiring as excess engine movement could be affecting the connection?
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
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
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 😞
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!
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
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
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
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
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
