  1. 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!
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. Hi....welcome to the Forum can't go wrong with a CR-V in my opinion Good to have you onboard
  6. Hi Marc....welcome to the Forum a Honda family, that's loyalty! Good to have you onboard
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. I think it may be down to the limited use...incredibly low annual mileage!
  15. 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.
  16. 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'
  17. 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 🙂
  18. 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
  19. Wow! I wouldn't mind this car myself
  20. As you say you should have this happening to a 7 year old car. I would read through your documentation and see if it comes with a 7 or 10 year body (and Paint) warranty
  21. It is indeed 🙂
  22. Not sure what that can be but may disappear with fitting wind deflectors. I fitted some to my 3rd Generation CR-V and made a huge difference
  23. That's certainly a step closer to finding replacement parts for sure. You would need a good hydraulic bench or floor press to do the bushes
  24. Hi.....welcome to the Forum I believe there is a back up battery fitted inside the alarm siren which may need replacing. Not sure if it is a capacitor type battery which may recharge if supplied with battery power after a certain amount of time. This would be okay if you could leave the battery connected without the alarm sounding
  25. Sounds simple but have you checked they are all the correct bulbs fitted as the wrong type can affect all the other bulbs as well (e.g. 1 contact Brake light bulb fitted to 2 contact holder, etc)
