UK line-up is now petrol, hybrid and pure-electric only but plans have also been brought forward to phase out petrol Diesel-fuelled Hondas have been withdrawn from UK sale with the last vehicles expected to be out of dealerships within a few weeks. The Japanese carmaker is the biggest VM yet to axe diesel power in Britain. It will also bring forward plans to phase out pure petrol cars by the end of 2022, rather than 2025 as previously suggested. A Honda spokesman: “Honda has accelerated its plans for all its European mainstream car models to be electrified from 2025 to 2022 and our motor petrol hybrid technology will play a key role in achieving this goal. “As such, we plan for European production of diesel powertrains to cease by the end of 2022. “However, on a local level in the UK, we have now stopped selling diesel cars.”

Let us know how you get on with it and what you find causing it to not open

Hi....welcome to the Forum Have you looked under the wheel arch area to see if there is a hatch to gain access to the rear of the light unit?

It could still be drivetrain related but also worth considering it may also be coming through the engine. Crankshaft pulleys can also produce a vibration but you would hear this rattling. Driveshafts are then the only other likely source for this vibration....maybe worth checking the longer one of the two (drivers side shaft).

The adjustment you need is the track (whether the wheel is pointing forward or off to the side slightly). This sometimes comes about if the rear wheel has been bumped against a kerb hard enough to knock the alignment out slightly. There are adjustable link arms but the locknuts can be a bit tight and may need freeing off first. If they start from the rear of the vehicle first and then check the front afterwards, most don't bother and just compensate by making adjustments to the front only.

That's incredibly brazen of them and I don't suppose an alarm would really put anyone off from taking it if they really want it. I suppose physical deterrents are the only other option...e.g. barriers, gates, etc. Physical cages on the underside are a deterrent but even then it just takes them longer to get past it....which may be enough to deter a theif

Its not our domain unfortunately 😞 This is the problem when sites go down there is no way of replicating the information somewhere else and also anyone who signed up to the site would not expect to see their data published elsewhere (GDPR, etc).

Hi.....welcome to the Forum As far as I know the Odyssey was only produced for Right Hand Drive Not sure if there is something compatible to fit from across the Honda range though?

OLSTERMEISTER .... any thoughts ?

Sorry to hear about that.....seems to be endemic across the UK at the moment. If a reputable retailer (e.g Eurocarparts, GSF, etc) are selling them then they should be compliant to emission specs and useable on the vehicle as advertised. I cannot think of any issues where it wouldn't be efficient in maintaining emissions levels as long as the joints are secure and no exhaust gas is escaping which would introduce oxygen into the system.

Not sure you could find anything to add to the standard system but an aftermarket alarm could be fitted quite cheaply. Are you worried about Catalytic Converter theft?

Sometimes that can happen and noticed it on Dunlop more than any other tyre but this can occur on initial moving and if heavy braking occurs but otherwise not too noticeable when driving most of the time

The rear suspension is adjustable and the rear alignment is usually the reason for any tyre wear across the vehicle. Ensure that the mechanics align the rear first before moving onto any other adjustments. It also cures the cursed veering to the nearside of the road

Hi....welcome to the Forum It does sound more like a drivetrain issue as it occurs when under load when going up hills. If it was a dynamic imbalance then it would do it on flat roads without being under load. I would think it may be more like a Dual Mass Flywheel failing but you should hear it clunking when switching the engine off which is a sign its on its way out

Feel free to jump in and answer any posts you want....much appreciated 🙂

They were a great forum but unfortunately read that they were dissolving, sent them a message saying they could refer their members here and we could accommodate them to keep the dialogue running. However, as you say, there is a huge volume of great information on the site which we wouldn't be able to publish on here which is a shame 😞

Hi Andy Sorry, but this is a Honda car forum not bikes.

also, sometimes you have to swap the red and the yellow wires at the back of the aftermarket unit

Hi....welcome to the Forum

Can't see anything listed on Halfords but could try eBay but make sure you get a quality bulb with correct resistors within it

Hi....welcome to the Forum You can never leave Honda ownership...its a fact! 🙂 Good to have you onboard and feel free to post and answer any posts in the forums

Hi Shaz.....welcome to the Forum Halfords should be able to find you one. They are usually smaller than most car batteries but still widely available to puchase

Hi Steph .... welcome to the Forum I would say at first thought it could be an incorrect bulb fitted which is backfeeding the lighting system. If a two pole bulb is fitted instead of a one pole bulb (2 contacts rather than 1) then this could be the reason. Have any bulbs been recently changed? Check the Brake Light bulbs and indicator bulbs at the rear as this is usually the culprit responsible for this type of problem Let us know how you get on with it

Hi....welcome to the Forum It does sound like the system relay at fault. This is the one which would power up the PGM-Fi system (pump, injectors, coil, etc) Do you hear any clicking from the relay box when switching the ignition on? Also, check the battery is providing the correct voltage when turning over
