  1. Technically you can't reclassify a vehicle for additional passengers but I would have thought there would be an centre belt already there or up on the inside of the roof panel
  2. Thanks for the feedback, always nice to know the outcome. Something like a marble is so typical of some car faults, used to be coins going into the heater fan and rattling around was an issue.
  3. Hi....welcome to the Forum I would suggest eBay and maybe extend the search to the whole of Europe as maybe a supplier somewhere abroad.
  4. Hi Colin....welcome to the Forum May have to search eBay for a replacement pump owing to the vehicle age Good to have you onboard
  5. Hi....Welcome to the Forum There are some specialist Honda parts shops in eBay but you may have to trawl around to find them. Run of the mill stuff like calipers, dampers, pads, filters, etc are still stocked by Eurocarparts and GSF and are perfectly good quality (and price)
  6. Hi This forum is for Honda cars and not bikes unfortunately 😞 Hope the restoration goes well though.....just carried out a sympathetic restoration on a 1996 Honda 600XL and it looks great after a lot of effort.
  7. I don't think this service is being broadcast now as I can't activate it on my CRV either
  8. Hi Nigel....welcome to the Forum The rear differential is a common fault with the CRV and requires the fluid to be changed periodically. Here is a link to the special fluid used: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-HONDA-CRV-DPS-FLUID-DIFF-OIL-1-LITRE/392495346713?epid=1415923714&hash=item5b628bb419:g:t-sAAOSwSONcM4GV If the fluid hasn't been changed for a while then it may require a flush. Link to flush kit: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-HONDA-CRV-2007-2017-REAR-DIFF-FLUID-FLUSH-KIT-SUPPLY-REG-FOR-WASHERS/293515954702?fits=Car+Make%3AHonda|Model%3ACR-V&hash=item4456ea0a0e:g:oCoAAOSwJHhcpIUk Let us know how you get on with it
  9. Have a look at the connectors under the seat as this is a common fault with poor connections Also, try moving the seat backwards and/or forwards to see if this puts the light out
  10. Hi Alan.....welcome to the Forum Sounds something like the Air Mass Meter (MAF sensor) which is causing the issue. https://autoevoke.com/index.php?/news/forums/guide-to-maf-sensors-r134/ Sometimes, if you disconnect it and it runs okay then thats the problem.
  11. If it hasn't settled by next week then you have more than just air in the system I'd say
  12. Hi....welcome to the forum It depends how long ago all this work took place as sometimes it can some time for the level to settle. If its not leaking internally or externally then I would imagine it is still air in the system. The only way to ensure this is completely eradicated is to vacuum the cooling system and refill it under pressure. Let us know if it settles down or if you are still losing coolant
  13. Hi ..... welcome to the Forum Not seen this issue before and cannot find the usual companies listing any Honda's which suggests its not a common problem. I would look at the battery, condition , connections and see that it is generally healthy enough as this could be a symptom especially after a period on non-use during lockdown.
  14. Hi....welcome to the Forum Fine looking Honda....looks great with the bonnet (hood) blacked out
  15. Hi Scott....welcome to the Forum Chances are it is the battery at fault and especially with the lockdown situation the car has not had much use and this will have an adverse effect upon the battery. I would probably replace the battery with a quality replacement one and see if this cures it. Let us know how you get on with it
  16. Hi Michele....welcome to the Forum If the car is some distance away I would recommend eBay and mention the location so buyers will know where it is located. You can only describe the condition as best as you can and the buyer is to be aware of this before placing a bid. Good luck with the sale
  17. That's good to hear that they are durable and unlike HID bulbs, LED bulbs don't lose power over time either
  18. They seem quite adaptable especially for family use> Tried to look for one recently and there weren't that many around. Strange set up with triple seat in the front aswell
  19. Hi....welcome to the Forum Most of the anciliary parts such as alternators would be the same spec for Type R (check for output and also type, Denso, Bosch, etc) and other stuff will be similar such as throttle housing but you would want to swap that out at some point for something more performance in the future. Keep us updated on your progress, always nice to see a build occurring over time
  20. Have you had the system regassed yet? If not then the pump won't activate and even then they system needs to be reset by pressing various buttons (google the procedure as some as different for other models)
  21. Hi Mark.....welcome to the Forum Generally, oil pressure switches/sensors are located on the side of the engine block around half way up. Don't confuse it for a Knock Sensor but they have a bolt running through them so easy to spot
  22. I personally prefer LED bulbs as they are more durable and less likely to fail with vibration and they also quicker in operation which is ideal for Brake Lights
  23. Washer jets not high enough on the screen and rear light not bright enough....really!!!! 😞
  24. I got mine through eBay but the relay is used on many different brands of vehicle so a search of the part number should reveal some results
  25. You can't substitute a good old fashioned spare wheel but fitting them on the roadside can sometimes be problematic and dangerous. I use Slime which is a tyre sealant and put it in all my tyres (Cars, Bikes, Campervan) and have never had a puncture since (we're talking in over 10 years on some of the vehicles). Its a preventative and works absolutely fine and is safe but wouldn't work if you took a huge chunk out of the tyre. If it was me I would use both, Slime and have a spare in the boot just in case
