  1. Larger tyre profile may change the ride quality
  2. Have you tested / replaced the Air Con System Relay, which tend to fail. Then you will need to follow a process to reprogramme the air con system....can be found on YouTube.
  3. Hi....welcome to the Forum I too have had problems with connecting some phones to the CRV but its worth trying another make just to see the processes involved. If there are too many phones already attached to the vehicle (maximum of five I think) then you have to delete the ones not being used.....follow instructions in manual on how to delete using voice control. Let us know how you get on with it
  4. Hi....welcome to the Forum I find parts for Honda's from eBay are generally good quality and very reasonable prices, especially ABS sensors. I have previously bought one that is longer and used that, albeit one for an Accord and used it on a CIvic as long as it reaches and the plug is the same. Usually the flange fitting is correct and then depth it protrudes into the hub to get the correct distance from the reluctor ring, and it works absolutely fine if you can't find the exact one for the Integra. Good to have you onboard and feel free to jump into posts to 'talk motors'

    Park

    Hi.....welcome to the Forum It sounds like a default setting which only allows the Park selection when the engine is off. A dealer may be able to alter this setting for different country requirements but sounds like it is doing what it should be doing.
  6. Hi....welcome to the Forum That's strange because usually the two lights will be on at the same time if there is an issue. If the VSA is switched off then this usually defaults to 'on' when you cycle the ignition switch. Only thing I can think is if the ABS is not illuminating (easy to check when you cycle the ignition it should come on and go off soon after) or if the switch is broken (which is unlikely) Let us know what you find
  7. I personally would go for the mk3 as it has newer technology and the drive is vastly improved over the mk2. However, the mk2 is very reliable and I don't think there would be too many issues with either to be honest. Check that the mk3 can run LPG safely (engine design) Personal preference really!
  8. It sounds like a power supply issue, ignition switch faulty? Otherwise, you could use the 'wiggle test' which is where you 'wiggle' various wires, connections, etc to try to force the fault to occur....when it does you will know exactly where the fault lies
  9. You would need to use a scantool to drive the ABS pump electronically. Alternatively you could bleed through the threads on the unions in the ABS block....messy but effective. Just have a watering can of water ready to wash down the engine bay. etc
  10. I think in this situation it may be better to fit a secondhand mirror assembly as I'm not sure a repair will hold successfully. A secondhand mirror shouldn't be too expensive and is easy enough to fit
  11. Hi....welcome to the Forum can't go wrong with a CR-V in my opinion Good to have you onboard
  12. Hi Marc....welcome to the Forum a Honda family, that's loyalty! Good to have you onboard
  13. Hi Hazel.....welcome to the Forum It sounds very much like either slight wear in a wheel bearing which can cause the brake pads to squeal when in contact with the disc when cornering. If it occurs when cornering right then the centrifugal weight is shifting to the left and loading that bearing, which suggests it is the left hand rear bearing that is possibly worn.
  14. I have experienced this in the past on my CRV and it generally disappears with extended use. I would probably replace the brake fluid if it has been in there for some time and try to activate the ABS to move the fluid around otherwise it sits in the valve block and leads to corrosion with the valves and causes them to stick intermittently.
  15. they are on all four wheels and the best method is to disconnect the connector (usually inside the boot area and under the bonnet) and measure the resistance from the sensor. They should all be approximately the same (give or take a few ohms). If one reading is non existent then more than likely an open circuit meaning it is defective.
  16. Hi...welcome to the Forum There are some on eBay but couldn't tell you which are good though Here are some reverse cameras on Halfords but not sure if any have bluetooth capability https://www.halfords.com/technology/reversing-cameras/#isSuggestion=true
  17. Its possible but a lot of work to fit the system, would be dashboard out job not to mention the costs involved....but possible! Also, you would have to use a later system which may not be able to physically fit the car due to the fact that the old system (1990's era) uses R12/R134a gas and this is being phased out
  18. Hi...welcome to the Forum The handbrake is more than likely just a case of taking up the slack on the lever by adjusting up the cable a small amount. This usually cures the flickering light problem. The clutch pedal sounds like it could have some air in the hydraulic system which needs bleeding out. Let us know how you get on with it all
  19. Hi....welcome to the Forum Yes, in the UK the fog light is on the Offside only, although some other cars do have both sides but to pass the MOT test it has to be on the Offside
  20. I think it may be down to the limited use...incredibly low annual mileage!
  21. Hi....welcome to the Forum Sometimes the compressor pulley fails and breaks up. A good way around it is as you suggest, bypassing it with a shorter belt. Maybe a trip to a local motor factors if you could roughly measure (with some string) around the pulleys you want to use and then finding the closest ones to it Good luck and let us know how you get on with it.
  22. Hi John....welcome to the Forum Generally, that engine is very efficient at burning fuel and keep emissions on the low side. I would recommend using quality fuel and Redex prior to an MOT test but the most important thing is to keep the revs high for a distance (using a lower gear) and burn off any carbon deposits in the engine...commonly known as an 'Italian Tune-Up'
  23. Hi....welcome to the Forum You would need to take it to a garage for them to fit it and cost-wise I'm not sure but it would be dealer part only, so not cheap 😞 Let us know how you get on and good luck with the Lab not eating anymore of the car interior 🙂
  24. Hi....welcome to the Forum If it is a modern Jazz then they have a speed warning system which you can switch off. It ties in with signpost recognition and warns that you are approaching a speed restriction Best to read your handbook to see how to deactivate it
