Advice requested on repairs to air conditioning system.
Trevor replied to Ian Currell's topic in CR-V 2007 to 2011
Hi Ian......welcome to the Club It sounds like the air con system is not working and its just running off the standard heater system. There is an issue with the air con relay which can be sourced from eBay at little cost (Denso relay). You then have to reset the air con system .... plenty of info on YouTube how to do this and if it has triggered the engine management warning lamp then this will need to be reset Let us know how you get on with it -
Hi Kelly....welcome to the Forums You should be able to source a company in your local area that can repair or make a new one at very little cost. These companies usually make hydraulic pipes and hoses for diggers and trucks but can replicate your one if you take it in with you. Let us know how you get on with it

It's usually in the door pillar area or if not then should be on a card that was supplied with the car originally

Is it crazy to use 2020 CRV EX AWD to tow a bass boat.
Trevor replied to Honda in Sonoma's topic in CR-V 2007 to 2011
Hi....welcome to the Forums Haven't had any experience towing with an Automatic CR-V but I would say it is a case of going at a slower pace and not relying on the engine for braking so much (which would load the transmission)....then it should be okay without any mods. -

Now you're talking my kind of language! Humber Sceptre and Opel Monza....superb cars to own in the day 🙂 -
Engine Management Light Following Replacement Cat....
Trevor replied to Splop's topic in HR-V 1999 to 2006
Hi David.....it could be an air leak caused by a perforation or leak in the gasket or flange area. This would cause the Oxygen sensor to read high oxygen content and flag an error. Check there is no leak in the exhaust and then check Oxygen sensors for correct operation -

Had the Rover 220 Coupe Turbo which was Rover's equivalent to the Integra....great car and really rapid for a 2.0 litre. It does make you wonder where the old motors in one's life disappear off to and totally regret selling some of them 😞 -
Hi David.....welcome to the Club the HRV is a really great car and always say it wouldn't have got to that mileage if it wasn't a quality vehicle

Lovely to see such fine motors of their day.....thanks for sharing -
You could always increase the tyre profile (e.g. a larger profile height) which will provide more 'cushioning' over bumpy surfaces. Unless you want to corner fast then the handling will still be acceptable but much more smoother ride. I have done the same thing on my BMW Z3 and so much more pleasant to drive nowadays 🙂

txt from Honda regarding the Dongle demise
Trevor replied to MarlinMk12's topic in Honda General Discussions
Hi Mike.....welcome to the Club I shall repost into the General Discussions section of the forums. Good to have you onboard! -
Hi Robert......welcome to the Club Window rubbers can be found on sites like eBay if you know the dimensions and profile then you should be able to source some lengths of the desired rubbers and then fit them to the door profile Good to have you onboard!

Hi Neil.....welcome to the Club That is such fantastic economy figures Plenty of functions in the Jazz - if you can find out how to unlock the features Good to have you onboard!
-
Hi ...... welcome to the Club The older Civics are now becoming quite desirable amongst the modifying owners and can now fetch good money for the right ones Good to have you onboard!
-
Hi Whippet .... and welcome to the Club The 2.2 engine is very reliable but if looking at a manual transmission version then check the Dual Mass Flywheel isn't rattling when switching on and off - particularly as the engine is shutting down.

I think there are cheap covers and then there are covers that would be better quality but obviously cost more. You would want tighter fitting covers to ensure they don't bunch up and move around on the seat

Hi CivicCol......welcome to the Club Type S Civic.....getting quite rare on the roads now so worth keeping it up together to realise a good price for it when you go to sell it in the future. The questions you ask would be better placed in a new topic in the Civic section of the forum as more members (specifically interested in the Civic) may be able to answer a few of them. Good to have you onboard and good luck with the maintenance tasks

Old Kels intro and 2013 Accord grill question
Trevor replied to OldKel's topic in New Members Introductions
Hi Kel....sorry for the late reply Welcome to the Club! Certainly had a good history of cars owned and driven over the years. Haven't heard the term 'grey imports' for many years now so definitely an age indicator there 🙂 Good to have you onboard! -
I had the same colour scheme on my Capri.....going for the RS3100 lookalike 🙂 I can well imagine your Broadspeed version was 'proverbial off the shovel' and can well imagine it would out-perform the E-Type as it comes down to power to weight ratio and the Jag was a heavy car in the day. Would love to hear about the other cars as well?

Usually when the battery is even slightly depleted then the stop/start goes offline to preserve energy. This may be due to lockdown and infrequent use. It should restore over time when used more often
-
Sounds like an absolute drama, but that is the same for a lot of modern vehicles nowadays Did it pass the MOT test okay? p.s. SuperBlackBird....very nice bike!
-
Hi.....welcome to the Club I believe it may be a battery charge issue which would cause the subsidiary systems to not be active until the battery voltage is showing as sufficient. Worse case scenario, replace the battery for a new quality branded one

I think that's they key word 'watching the road' and being aware of your surroundings....speed cameras tend to distract drivers and lead to harsh braking at the last moment.
-
That's harsh Taz ....I would have contested that in court as it can't be proved by the police officers in question. My understanding (advanced motorcycle qualified) is that you can safely and legally ride over the double solid white lines on a motorbike if safe to do so and also if the traffic is at a standstill and at a sensible crawling speed.
