She's an absolute beauty!!!! Welcome to the Club

Hi Billy.....welcome to the Club Nothing too specific to look out for, just vastly different in every way to the CR-V but equally as reliable Good to have you onboard!

You make some very good points there....only your perception of the vehicle following a test drive will give you the answers you need to purchase (or not) Keep us informed on how you get on with it

Thanks for letting us know the conclusion

You could try trawling the scrapyards with one you have removed from your car to compare it with other Honda models

If the pads are 90% worn and there hasn't been any discs fitted previously then it would be advisable to change both discs and pads at the same time

Decisions, decisions !!! I would probably be in the same situation as you and not sure whether it warrants the upgrade costs or whether I could live with the standard configuration. Panoramic roofs have been dropped on a lot of manufacturer's offerings recently due to supply issues and they also put the vehicle into the next Co2 emissions level (e.g. higher tax and duties, etc)

I would try Halfords as they also sell fascia plates and connectors for wiring up aftermarket stereo head units

SRS self checks resistances each time the ignition is switched on. There was a recall on airbag inflators but not sure if it was for your car model and year

I guess the only other thing to try is to replace the pads as the others may be low on the lining thickness and also offer better friction

Ouch! that's crazy money! Hope you find a suitable replacement

Sounds more like a throttle setting You should be able to reset the throttle adaption to cure this using a scan tool that is capable of this function

Sounds like the springs are moving in the strut plates. Maybe loosen the mounting bolts on the strut top whilst on the ground and retighten as it may have been tightened when off the ground and no load on the springs

Sounds like it could be the fuel filter needs changing. This can result in less fuel in the canister and taking longer to prime up You can tell if this is the case as the rubber bulb takes more to pump up to get firmer which suggests this is the case

You could try getting some made up, would also be a lot cheaper

All Honda cars with fuel injection are compatible with E10 petrol (HONDA PGM-FI). PGM-Fi was installed on Honda models in the late '80s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_fuel_injection

I have replaced the ECU and key/lock components on Honda's before and it resolves the issue. Not sure you could easily replace the chip but do let us know if you find out any info on this method

You may be able to find a Rover equivalent to source the parts (Rover 416, 420, 620)

Try some plastic window polish or alternatively T-Cut which is abrasive and should clean this up nicely

How did you get on with this fault?

Hi Andrei....welcome to the Club I would take it in for a fluid change and see what the fluid is liked when it is drained. If it is a dark red then you may have issues with worn components (plates) otherwise if it is a light red colour and doesn't smell burnt then it should be okay. It would be advisable to have the filter changed at the same time Let us know how you get on with it

Hi Steve....welcome to the Club I assume it is taking a drain from the battery through something in the vehicle (boot light, alarm, alternator) I would suggest taking it to an independent auto electrician who can trace the fault with correct diagnostic procedures. Probably something simple and cheap to resolve Let us know what you find

It is possible to install apps in the infotainment system via the touch screen. You could ask the dealer to install it on your behalf before collecting it from them

What is the issue with the gearbox and can you not get it repaired instead?

Maybe worth disconnecting the vehicle battery and see if it defaults back to the English language or alternatively it is a trip to the dealership
