  1. Hi.....welcome to the Club I had a similar issue on a Mitsubishi L200 and took the front cover off the wiper motor to find there was an excess of grease on the contacts which could no longer pick up a current at certain points in the wipe sweep. Cleaned off the excess grease and it worked absolutely fine. Not sure if the motor is easily accessible on the CR-V like it was on the L200 and also if there is an easily removable front cover but certainly worth a look Let us know how you get on with it
  2. Try these guys https://www.catman.co.uk/
  3. https://www.catman.co.uk/ Give these chaps a try and I'm sure they can help you out
  4. You are welcome to place an advert in the For Sale section of this forum https://uk.hondaownersclub.com/forums/forum/58-hondas-for-sale/
  5. Sorry not sure I've ever seen a s colour code for wheels but I'll bet Honda sell a touch up kit for the alloys There are settings in the front end of the unit to brighten the screen....done it before myself but couldn't tell you exactly where (seem to remember it is quarter moon / full moon type logo if that helps)
  6. I would pull some fuses to see which one stops the current drain....eliminates the circuits that are functioning without issue
  7. There seems to be some info on these codes and faults with this transmission on a Google search and used in Toyota as well as other Japanese brands
  8. I think Halfords sell a range of bike carriers that would sit on the tailgate but not sure about the weight on there though
  9. Is it just the one wheel or both that aren't applying the handbrake? If you jack one side up at a time and try to turn the wheel to see which one (or both) aren't holding. Seems like it could need adjustment on the cable but worth pumping the footbrake at the same time as pulling up the handbrake on and off to see if the caliper winds in onto a closer tolerance
  10. Hi ...... welcome to the Club Not too many Insight owners coming through the club so good to have you onboard
  11. Did you ever find the port?
  12. Had a similar issue with my 2008 CR-V and i changed the fuel filter which solved the issue. They are rarely changed because they are notoriously hard to get to replace
  13. Waxoyl is the best product for preserving metalwork on any vehicle
  14. You should replace it before it starts to knock when turning in on a tight turn (such as pulling onto a driveway or threepoint turn) The oil can be purchased from eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-HONDA-CRV-DPS-FLUID-DIFF-OIL-1-LITRE/392495346713?epid=1415923714&hash=item5b628bb419:g:t-sAAOSwSONcM4GV
  15. Did a hard-wire on my CR-V a while ago but cannot remember which feed it was from (possibly interior lights?). Used a multi-meter to find a permanent 12 volt feed
  16. Hi....welcome to the Forum The 12volt system is designed to avoid battery drainage and therefore there aren't many points within the vehicle where you can grab 12volts with the ignition off. However, I hard-wired a dashcam in my CR-V a little while ago and it took ages to find a 12volts permanent feed but eventually got one using a multimeter....sorry can't remember which circuit it was though....may have been interior lights. They are there in the fusebox but will require a multimeter to find it
  17. Wow! that's going to be hard to source. Alternatively, if you could get a sleeve to go on the shaft as the shaft may have wear in a specific spot and the seal cannot work effectively. Even with a new seal you may need to sleeve the shaft
  18. Couple of useful articles (although non-UK sourced) https://www.torquenews.com/1084/honda-civic-cr-v-oil-dilution-problem-what-you-should-do-now http://www.hondaproblems.com/oil-dilution/ Although it may not be prevalent in the UK it is still worth checking oil level and quality more frequently to ensure no washdown is occurring
  19. Thought it may be turbo variable vanes if it were a diesel engine. They tend to get gummed up with carbon and stick in place, leading to lack of boost
  20. If it were the brakes then it could be a stone caught up in the disc or even the backing plate rubbing against the disc. If it is the air conditioning system then it could be the gas cavitating or the drive pulley or belt. Either way, I would take into a garage to have it diagnosed as this could lead to more expensive repairs if not attended to soon Let us know what you find
  21. It doesn't look like the hose to expel the air cond residue but that could be above it and dropping down onto the plastic tray as seen in the photos. If it doesn't have a chemical smell to it (e.g. fresh water and not antifreeze) and nothing is leaking from the cooling system.....coolant level is still where it should be then it is more than likely the air con. In which case you don't need to worry about it, but I would definitely check the coolant level is correct and not leaking to be on the safe side.
  22. Hi Sarah....welcome to the Forum I cannot quite see the detail as it is a bit dark but if it is between the two front seats and is emitting water then it is more than likely the air conditioning waste hose which is when the air cond draws down moisture from the inside of the car it then dumps it out on the floor under the car when you pull up. If it looks like a hose/pipe then thats what it more than likely is.
  23. Hi.....welcome to the forum here is a link to wikiobd https://www.wikiobd.co.uk/models.php?pt=1&mn=23
