  1. Hi....welcome to the Club Seem to recall there may be a speed sensor within the distributor (long time since played with these older models)....worth checking all wiring going into the distributor first
  2. eBay is always a good choice for Honda parts but check the origin (e.g. not from China) and make sure it is a recognised brand
  3. True enough, the range will diminish with cooler weather which affects the batteries. Agreed it should be clearly stated that this range is dependent on so many factors
  4. The ABS should reset itself if the resistance values that are checked each ignition cycle but if there is a problem with the system then it won't reset and you need to resolve the issue
  5. I wonder if the air con is staying switched on as this runs the fans for the condenser and could also be cooling the engine radiator.
  6. Could be the heater resistor pack failing....quite a common fault on a lot of vehicles, although usually work on high fan speed only
  7. Hi ....welcome to the club Always good to return to a Honda....it seems the sensible choice Good to have you onboard!
  8. Not sure, checked Eurocarparts and GSF but as you say no parts available for the front. I guess you could remove one to take to local motor factors to compare sizes, etc
  9. Hi Des......welcome to the Club You could get the hose and take it to any reputable garage who would charge you around £60 per hour to fit and it may take a bit of time but at least its not over £100 per hour which is what the dealer would charge. Let us know how you get on with it al
  10. Hi.....welcome to the Club A superb choice of Honda, completely reliable if maintained correctly 1. Try Autolocks or Timpsons as they may be able to cut a key for that period of car 2. IceBoxAutos sell replacement head units with Android connectivity and quite reasonable prices as well
  11. Looks very clean and undoubtedly completely reliable
  12. Thanks for the update and doesn't sound too bad if the car had a lookover as well.
  13. You could buy an immobilise unit from eBay which should come with keys and barrel locks, etc Not too expensive and not too difficult to fit and no need to reprogramme
  14. I would be tempted to start by increasing the tyre pressures by at least 2 or 3 psi on all the wheels to see if this puts the light out. Also, check and inflate them when the tyres are cold and using a reputable gauge to measure the pressures
  15. are the tyre sizes correct and the same across the vehicle? also take into account wear on all of them - are they even?
  16. Trevor replied to Knipex's topic in CR-V 2007 to 2011
    It could be you need a new pollen filter and also that there is a grommet or something missing on the bulkhead which is allowing fumes to enter the cabin area
  17. It could be one of a few things.... Starter motor 'growly' if worn due to on/off starting using stop/start Worn Dual Mass Flywheel - another component that will be affected by stop/start Worn clutch release bearing - as above due to keeping clutch pedal depressed to start up
  18. Look for the sensor going to the gearbox, probably find it on the top somewhere
  19. It should reset once the fault is rectified as the readings are taken and if all okay then the system powers up, if not then ABS/VSC stays offline. I would check the rear sensors first and go from there. Check the connections first as this may be the cause rather than a faulty sensor
  20. Hi, welcome to the Club Great choice for a winter car, I also have a BMW (Z3) as a summer car as well. I would say that this is quite normal as the diesel engine is quite a large unit for the Civic and just doesn't get as hot as a petrol equivalent. I wouldn't worry too much about it and at least its not the opposite end of the spectrum and showing too hot
  21. It does sound like a sensor recalibration is required. A competent mechanic with the correct software/scantool can reset the system if the DPF has successfully regenerated
  22. Pompey Andy That's a bonus! 🙂
  23. reminds me of the Y2K issues that were supposed to happen, but didn't. maybe slightly delayed by 22 years 🙂 Apparently they have recalled vehicles in US but not in the UK as yet
  24. I would be tempted to put a reserve or high starting price on it to sell through eBay....if it doesn't meet the reserve it doesn't sell but at least you will gauge interest and get a market value for it. The other option is to take it to a specialist car auction and they can value it and sell if for you at the best price
  25. I said exactly the same thing a few years ago .... "I should have come to Honda years ago" but didn't feel as though I was ready for it then (older generation choice possibly?)
