I would try a replacement (quality one) in the fob and see if that improves it

Not much for CR-Vs that I am aware of I fitted side window wind deflectors which gave it a better appearance and also you can get side-steps and bullbars for it Try https://direct4x4.co.uk/ for some parts

You could try changing the blades to non-silicon ones as these can often create the noise you mentioned.

Fantastic car back in the day and hope you bring her back to her former glory Parts can be an issue to source so any opportunity to acquire spares is definitely advisable

a truly great era in which we lived....wasn't all good though, 3 day working week, strikes, power cuts, etc

great shootout! both fine vehicles of an era to be fair

Have you torqued down the sensor bolt? as it is torque sensitive and only minimal amount required - too tight and will sense way too much knock. Also, ensure sensor lead does not go across any other wiring, especially spark plugs leads, etc as sensitive enough to pick up stray signals

I like to call it 'adaptive engineering'

Not sure anything to do with steering that is faulty is good to drive If nothing goes wrong its fine but if you were involved in an accident and it is recorded that there is an issue with the steering then it won't end well

Hi Dave20 .....welcome to the Club Three CR-Vs, you must like them I guess Good to have you onboard!

Hi Terry D ....welcome to the Club definitely a Honda fan then good to have you onboard!

Hi Rich....welcome to the Club Back in the day, oil changes were carried out on petrol engines at around every 6000 miles. Diesel engines weren't so common place back in the early 1980's (taxi's and lorries mostly). The oil would always come out black and oil (and fuel) quality wasn't so good then. If the oil is black then its pretty much doing its job and capturing the carbon deposits within, hence dark colour. My philosphy on a petrol engine is that if the oil has gone quite dark with carbon then I would change it (usually in excess of 5 - 6k miles) along with the filter. A diesel engine would be about the same duration but would turn black a lot sooner as the fuel deposits more soot/carbon than petrol) This would give the modern generation turbos a fighting chance of durability for many years to come.

Hi Rich.....welcome to the Club We have answered your post in the General Discussions section of the forums. Good to have you onboard!

Very true and how times have changed - not always for the best either

It does look like it comes apart? If so, maybe rebuildable - broken internal wire or something simple to repair (possibly?)

I'm sure it takes the water feed from within the front windscreen washer reservoir (when the lights are on and the washers are applied Parts would be OE and no longer available so I imagine so a scrapyard would be best source for replacement jet

Sounds like it may be registering a pressure slightly higher than it should be when the tyres start to get hot. Maybe let some pressure out to the lower recommended setting (e.g. lower load - not full load of luggage and passengers) to see if that makes a difference

Hi....welcome to the Club Hope you get the problem sorted soon and at a reasonable cost

Hi.....and welcome to the Club Very rare car nowadays, haven't seen one in years Good to have you onboard!

Hi....welcome to the Club Getting to be a very rare sight on the roads nowadays. Good luck with the work on it and shout out if you have any questions

Nice bike...plenty quick enough!

Nice!

Nice machines....big BHP - usually require big wallets as well. Sold all my powerful old cars and now look at economy 🙂

Let us know how it goes - always nice to know the outcome, thanks
