  1. Information found on Google:

     

    electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission (changed to CVT in 2015)

     

    Quote

    Owners of the model year 2007-2010 Honda CR-V also have several complaints regarding the transmission. Examples are that the transmission is faulty and the vehicle shudders in low gears, the vehicle will not shift out of park, and the vehicle stalls and accelerates and decelerates on its own.

     

    Like any automatic transmission they benefit from fluid and filter changes every so often so if the service history shows this then great, if not then maybe book it in at a transmission specialist sometime

  2. The voltage is sufficient for internal electrics and I would check all earth leads as well as power leads from the battery to ensure there is no corrosion or damage at the connections.
    As per your other post about the alarm system this could be water ingress affecting your internal lights (dripping down through from windscreen or even heater matrix). Check there are no signs of water tracing underneath the dashboard area.

  3. It could be that the other side is slightly sticking and therefore not being used as effectively as the other side (replaced caliper side) and is colder as a result of this?

    The rears are not normally running anywhere near as hot as the front (unless fully loaded vehicle) 
     

  4. That doesn't sounds too bad cost wise and to replace in terms of labour

    It does sounds plausible and also in the colder season it does tend to knock out sensors.
    Let us know how it all goes and fingers crossed it resolves the issue.....either way at least you get a coolant change which is always an overlooked service item

  5. Without being political and going off on a rant - we don't want to ban anybody on here (yet!) 🙂


    I tend to steer clear of anything to do with politics and especially the news as its so depressing and not a lot that any of us can do about the outcome. Added to that, put bias, sensationalism and inaccurate news reporting into the mix and its understandable we're in the position as we are in this country.


    Returning to discussion on cars and the future of driving.....personally I now hate driving and would give it up in a heartbeat as its not enjoyable anymore....used to be that you could take the car out and enjoy a nice drive without the inconvenience of road works, restrictions of every kind and also the costs involved. The car sits on the drive for a week at a time if not longer.
    However, I do have a couple of motorbikes to get my kicks on the road and have to say that even though it is somewhat more expensive, it is however much more fun! It genuinely gives you that sense of freedom that you used to get from driving a car

     

    On a footnote, it has always been the motorist that is the easy target to penalise for everything in the UK it is slightly more difficult to target the motorcyclist as there are such groups as Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) that will argue everything at government level and protect our rights whereas motorists don't have such a strong voice in the houses of parliament...food for thought!

  6. ah right, I now understand.

    That is an odd one and wonder if the relay is at fault or getting all the appropriate information (such as coolant and ambient temperature) if the system is not kicking in at first start on a cold engine.

    Maybe also look at the connection on the relay to see if any corrosion or damage is present

  7. I would definitely return the car to the garage that replaced the timing belt and ask them to check the fault code (free of charge) to see if it is associated with any of the work that has been carried out.
    It may be a connection for a sensor that hasn't been clipped back on or something simple that can be fixed at no cost.
    After that then at least you know the fault code and can go from there

    Let us know what you find

  8. Unfortunately, I would say the Honda are sadly lacking when it comes to up-to-date tech which they fit to their vehicles.
    A firmware/software update from the manufacturers may bring it slightly up to date regarding BT connectivity but the overall function of the audio system is still way behind in functionality

    Not sure if a complete swap out for an aftermarket system such as those from iceboxauto whose units employ all the latest tech and custom fit the vehicle dash so look good as well

  9. There is an irony with all of this movement toward electric vehicles

    I'll leave this here.....

     

    The trolley bus (electric and in use during the early part of the 20th century)

    The humble milk float (electric and silently delivered out milk - in glass recyclable bottles)

    image.png

     

    Once a common sight on the roads and electric

    I don't call what we have now progress - it is literally reinventing the wheel !!!

  10.  Not personally used one to keep a battery topped up but do use a battery conditioner on my motorbikes to avoid sulphation which occurs during a period of not being used frequently over the winter period

    I think as long as you have some method to retain a charge within the battery even if it is minimal then the sulphation process will not occur (as much)
