  1. Hi Del....welcome to the Club Are you after a new alternator ? You could get a rebuild, in fact there is a chap in Kinson who rebuilds rotating electrics and he is close to where you are Clive Snow at G & C Auto Marine Address: 400 Kinson Rd, Bournemouth BH10 5EY Phone: 01202 575260
  2. Hi....welcome to the Club I suppose certain parts will fit depending on what it is. Normal service parts would more than likely be standard to most engines in the range.
  3. Has the door card recently been off for any reason? If not then the door switch has failed
  4. Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, this is a trait with the Jazz but it excels at town driving though
  5. best thing would be to scan the ECM and see what codes if any are stored. let us know how it gets on at the garage
  6. You could change the tyre profile to a larger one to allow more ride comfort
  7. Honda parts department should be able to assist with a template
  8. I would be tempted to try suctioning through more water and run the reservoir down before refilling with fresh screenwash and use more frequently to keep things moving. somtimes hot but not boiling water assists this process
  9. do they need cleaning then? or are they broken?
  10. i wonder if there is a difference in boot size for the Sport and other versions? maybe if so, then yours is slightly longer boot length?
  11. I would advise checking or replacing the crankshaft sensor as these can fail when hot and work again when cooled down
  12. What make tyres have you fitted?
  13. Hi.....welcome to the club and welcome back to Honda! You can't go wrong with the reliability and drive of a Honda, not sure the VTEC kick in the back is quite the same as the old school Civic's though 🙂
  14. Hi.....welcome to the club There are many different styles and sizes of clips used on the vehicle trim, maybe best to pop along to a Honda dealer and obtain the correct ones. They should be stock items for bodyshop supply and won't cost much
  15. It would be worth checking all the sensors as one may be faulty. If you switch the ignition on, engine off and select reverse gear and then 1st gear to check the fronts. You should be able to hear a very feint clicking noise from the working sensors.....no noise = faulty sensor
  16. Hi Marc.....welcome to the Club You could try Burlen services in Salisbury as they are a carburettor company (originally SU carburettors) and may know where to source a kit for you. Let us know how you get on with finding one
  17. I would certainly take a punt on it but just ensure it is road legal as the fines could soon mount up 🙂
  18. Hi....welcome to the Club It may be best to take it into the local dealership to get them to change the vehicle settings via the onboard computers

    Tyres

    Depends on what you are carrying as a load in the rear seats and boot https://www.blackcircles.com/helpcentre/tyres/what-is-load-rating
  20. Hi....welcome to the Club There are different types of airbag suspension systems on eBay and other commerce sites. Typical examples listed here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l2632&_nkw=air+bag+suspension&_sacat=6030
  21. Hi....welcome to the Club Plenty of info in here if you need it 🙂 Good to have you onboard!
  22. Hi....welcome to the Club Sometimes its difficult to engage first gear and usually 'smashes' into second gear on some Honda transmissions. I find it is easier to take my time to engage the gears (e.g. from 1st to 2nd) and it then engages smoothly. The tendency is when pulling away to use 1st gear as a launch gear and then whilst accelerating hard 2nd then takes the brunt when engaging
  23. It's all about rolling diameter....if you place the spare alongside the wheel on the car and if the diameter is the same and the spacing on the wheel bolts it the same then it should work
  24. I'm not entirely sure the static is anything to do with the vehicle wiring, albeit the wiring would use a chassis earth but the voltage/current would be so small from the rear lights that it would not produce enough to give static shock.....more than likely clothing and shoes causing the shock? I sometimes get it on my BMW so I make sure the wife exits the car before me to discharge any static 🙂
  25. I would be tempted to only service what hasn't been done in the recent past. Fuel filter may be one to consider if the vehicle has been sat around as sediment tends to form in the diesel.
