Flashing "D" light whilst driving.
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

Cycle rack suggestions
I think Halfords sell a range of bike carriers that would sit on the tailgate but not sure about the weight on there though

Civic handbrake
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

CRV warm/hot starting problem
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

2014 onward diff oil change?
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

Camera Wonโt Stick to Windscreen
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

NOOB wiring question
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

1999 honda accord distributor seal
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

Honda 1.5 Vtec non turbo engine
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

Honda hrv 05 plate
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

Are A/C and brakes linked?
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

Undercarriage Picture
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.

Undercarriage Picture
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.

Camera Wonโt Stick to Windscreen
Had the same issue on my CR_V because I wanted to mount it where the black dots are on the screen. Bought a 3M double sided sticky pad from eBay which did the job nicely.

Just a quick intro
Hi ..... welcome to the Forum I think once you've had a Honda its alway pleasant to return to one. I always believe it is like putting on an old pair of comfy slippers ๐ Good to have you onboard

Audio, Sound, in My 2020 CR-V
There should be some settings to change the tone but would need to read the manual to find the access route to it

New Member!
Hi....welcome to the Forum Good to have someone from the USA joining us here on the UK site....I believe Honda is quite universal apart from the different names allotted to some of the cars. Flat Head engines...that takes me back in time ๐

It's time for new tyres,
Adespin Falken have been producing tyres since the early eighties and are heavily involved in motorsport and seem to have a good reputation for the road with keen prices as well. I would trust them and I'm particular with tyres !
