The Average Family Car. Research commissioned by Honda in line with the launch of the all-new HR-V e:HEV The average car will see 30 day trips, 2,496 songs played - and 24 spillages in the typical year. A study of 2,000 motorists revealed the average vehicle will cover off 62 miles per week – that’s 3,224 annually – and see three bouts of car sickness while doing so. While a whopping 43 hours will be spent sitting in stationary traffic in total across the year. One quarter of drivers say they’ve also enjoyed key milestone moments in their beloved car, such as witnessing a child’s first word or making an emotional trip to take offspring to university. The research was commissioned by Honda in line with the launch of the all-new HR-V e:HEV, Rebecca Adamson, Head of Automobile for Honda, said: "Every car plays host to a lot of memories and moments. “And they are more than just a mode of transport to many, as they see us through key moments in life. “As the years progress, the needs and requirements have changed – but the moments that happen within them will always remain familiar.” The average car is owned for five years with commuting, shopping trips and visiting family and friends the most frequent uses. And the most common conversations to take place in the car include what’s happened through the day, commenting on other driver’s mistakes as well as other vehicles they see on the road. A third will also discuss what’s for tea and more than one in five will discuss the day’s events from school with their children. The most important factors to consider when purchasing a car according to respondents were fuel efficiency, whether it is sustainable for daily use and the way it drives. Six cars have been owned in total by those polled via OnePoll – with nearly four in 10 admitting they’re due an upgrade. Parking sensors, a built in sat nav and a reverse camera were the top things the ideal car would include along with good heating, low emissions and a DAB radio. And of those attracted to a non plug-in hybrid vehicle, saving money on fuel, being environmentally friendly and no need to recharge were the main benefits. In line with the launch of the next-generation Hybrid SUV from Honda; the all-new HR-V, Honda are offering 48-hour loans to fifty consumers in a campaign called the Real World Review. Consumers are asked to submit their interest to win the test drive opportunity. Successful entrants are subsequently invited to share their reviews and experiences of the car with the world. On completion of the review of their time spent with the car, consumers will be entered into a prize draw to win an all-new HR-V e:HEV. There will be one lucky winner. Consumers can submit their interest to win the test drive opportunity by answering two questions at the following link between 09:00 on Monday 25th October and 15:00 on Tuesday 9th November: http://www.promoentries.com/hondarealworldreview The all-new HR-V delivers a unique and responsive driving experience, with exceptional efficiency delivered by Honda’s powerful and efficient two-motor e:HEV powertrain – featured as standard for the first time on a HR-V. The next-generation of the brand’s popular compact SUV offers comfort and utility, as well as advanced safety and technology features, all within a bold and sleek coupe-inspired form. Rebecca Adamson, Head of Automobile for Honda, added: “What’s clear from the research is value for money, as well as the fact that being better for the environment is important to people. “Technology is also very sought after – which not only provides better comfort in the vehicle but also enables us to develop cars that are better for the planet. “The Honda HR-V e:HEV has been developed for the next generation of eco-conscious drivers, drawing on over 20 years of hybrid experience in road cars and Formula 1®, to provide both comfort and performance, and to produce fewer pollutants. “Featured as standard within the HR-V for the first time, the e:HEV powertrain offers an exceptional balance of economy and emissions. While paired with the features that we know drivers want – such as an advanced air diffusion system to create a better internal environment and enhanced driver assistance including HD cameras and Honda SENSING™ as standard – the all-new HR-V provides the ultimate smooth, enjoyable driving experience. ” TOP CAR CONVERSATIONS 1.

If you could have gone at a junction

this seems to be an issue with a lot of older cars and can suggest there are companies (on ebay) who can make you a stainless steel system at reasonable cost and also much more durable than steel systems

very true! Sometimes it is not an issue such as location which is used in maps and nearest stores, etc. I personally select cookies and such like to avoid being bombarded with emails, etc but otherwise it is a necessary evil in todays modern world I guess

Hi Nigel....welcome to the Club How are you finding the CR-V?

Hi Sam....welcome to the Club That sounds like you have acquired a superb Accord especially being that rare! Feel free to post up some pics of it Good to have you onboard!

Hi....welcome to the Club Fire away with your questions and hopefully someone will have the answers

Hi Stephen....welcome to the Club How you getting on with the Prelude?

It's not a bad punt to go for the update but my only worry is if it doesn't work is it easy to revert back to the earlier update? Please let us know how you get on with it

or It's either going to be one end of the crankshaft or the other....both look quite accessible to get to

My CR-V also gives a turbo 'whine' which is standard but not a 'squeal' which would be something more sinister

If you can remove it and clean it then maybe consider using a blanking plate (make sure you get one with small hole in the middle) You can clean the EGR in a solution and refit it but will have to ensure the engine is running at higher revs to keep it clear

Try this company https://www.car-keys-online.com/

They should pull out from clips. May require moderate force but not enough to break unit

There does appear to be filters available but many different ones to chose from https://www.google.com/search?q=CRV+Sr+Auto+2015+auto+trans+filter&rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB935GB935&oq=CRV+Sr+Auto+2015+auto+trans+filter&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i10i160.7108j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Let us know how you get on with it

Let us know how you get on with it

You could try adjusting the cable to gain better efficiency Maybe also see if the cables are free to move by jacking up each corner and seeing if the wheels are locked when applied

Hi Jim Welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Hi Donny.....welcome to the Club Here is a link to recommended oils from Castrol https://www.castrol.com/en_gb/united-kingdom/home/car-engine-oil-and-fluids/motor-oil-and-fluids-finder.html?customerType=retail Most modern oils are of a high quality so just look for the best deals for oil with the recommended specs

Fantastic news Splop just goes to show how well built Honda cars were back then

You should be able to bypass this tube as its only used for cooling (which is obviously important in hot weather and also when the steering is heavily used) but have done this on my BMW Z3 many years ago as a stop-gap and am still running it without issue.

I suppose it is to avoid damage in colder weather but not sure how it works to do this....ambient temperature sensor readings....and why? Sorry, doesn't help much in resolving your issue but got me wondering and will see if I can find out further info

That's a tough one but I would imagine if the seals are removed and matched up to alternatives such as in the link below https://www.google.com/search?q=2001+honda+accord+steering+rack+seal+kit&rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB935GB935&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi5qILSp6nzAhXZEcAKHadyBicQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1730&bih=904&dpr=1 It should not matter if it is LHD or RHD as the internal seals should be the same. Another alternative which I have used very successfully and will slow down the fluid loss https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311&_nkw=power+steering+fluid+stop+leak&_sacat=0

Sounds like the ADAS that is there for the lane guidance, distance and collision avoidance? Can you post a photo of these markings?

Sounds like the car may need a software update to calibrate the ADAS Best to speak to your dealer about this as it could be a safety issue if any of the sensors are out of calibration
