Hi...welcome to the club Please do let us know how you get on with it when you receive it and have chance to evaluate it

Sachs is a good make but so also are LUK and BluePrint (the best one to get)

I just fitted Avon tyres to my motorbike and has transformed the handling Avon have just done great deals on their tyres as they have now closed their UK manufacturing plant

I would ask the Honda dealership as to which models are more popular. I know that they were paying more for a Jazz than they originally sold for as they had buyers queueing up for one...supply and demand!

Hi....welcome to the Club The sunroof seal should(?) peel off the frame and you may be able to place the kink in a different position that won't affect the sunroof operation

Hi ..... welcome to the Club What a great looking motor, thanks for sharing Good to have you onboard!

They usually seize because of carbon build up but if the pistons are scored or burnt away on the ring lands then it may be something more serious with the fuelling or cooling system

Hi....welcome to the Club Nice project and although parts are now getting difficult to acquire there are still plenty of bits around (scrapyards may be the way forwards with some parts though) Good to have you onboard!

I would keep trying the release fluid and see if it does eventually free up Alternatively, try gently moving the wheel backwards and forwards in small motions as you try to the key in the lock

Ah now that's my passion....nothing like visiting an old English pub in the countryside for a nice pint of ale 🙂

I think if you have a transmission service done then any loose or worn components will surely be picked up during the service. Let us know how you get on with it

The CR-V 4 wheel drive works on an 'as and when' basis....e.g. it kicks in if it loses traction so is technically a 'Crossover' rather than an 'All Wheel Drive' vehicle As Alan has mentioned, a lot of it comes down to tyres - if they are not off road tyres then you won't get any traction once the treads fill with mud

That's great to hear, thanks for letting us know.

Sorry can't remember which fuse I tapped into but had to use a multimeter to find a suitable feed that was ignition switched or permanent (depending on what route you want to go)

Have you tried a new (quality) battery as if the old one needs charging periodically it may have faulty cells and this can cause the issues you are describing (if the battery cannot deliver a high enough voltage on start up then this will flag the lights)

Have you tried a fluid and filter change which may revive the transmissions performance?

If you decide to sell it then you are welcome to advertise it in the Cars For Sale section of the forums https://uk.hondaownersclub.com/forums/forum/58-hondas-for-sale/

Can you not get them reconditioned.....I'm sure there are still some companies that can do this service

Sounds like the ignition system is being powered to the accessory setting on the key, I would check any relays and see if they click when they should and substitute like for like to see if it makes any difference to the clock display being permanently on

Sometimes it can be a tough one to diagnose. The best way would be to attach a multimeter to the battery and then systematically remove fuses until the current drops then you'll know where the faulty circuit is located

Which engine does it have?

Does the battery need coding into the vehicle - e.g. vehicle may have to recognise new battery voltage otherwise will still be reading the old voltage If in doubt, worth checking to see if it has this function

Can only find two listed - Fuse 3 (20 amp) in dashboard fusebox

Hi Eban Only the rear caliper pistons should need winding back - the fronts will just push straight back in. Usually best to release the bleed nipple when retracting the pistons and topping up afterwards. Makes it easier to push in and also removes the fluid that has sat in the caliper which is required to refresh the old fluid every so often. In addition, it does not send fluid back through the system in reverse which can sometimes (but now quite rarely) flip the master cylinder seals and also cause damage to the ABS hydraulic system. The clunking sounds like a worn CV joint which is causing the noise.

Thats £82.50 per tyre and very good for Avon.....great tyres! Have just fitted Avons to my motorbike and shame they have only just now stopped making them in the UK 😞
