So when you are finally released from lockdown and able to drive your car....what music will you play in the car?

Hi....welcome to the Forum I have disconnected the battery on earlier (3rd generation - 2007 onwards) CRVs and never had any issues. Most of the settings stay and any that don't update automatically so you should be okay Let us know what you find

Hi....welcome to the Forum I would probably run it some more (when possible) and as long as the DPF is not blocking up due to limited use and the battery is charging okay then the light may go out. If not and the vehicle drives fine then I wouldn't worry about it until you can take it into get it checked out. Let us know what it turns out to be causing the light to stay on

Hi.....welcome to the forum Not entirely sure what the issue is with the satnav update but I could only recommend a reboot of the systems or reinstall the software update once more to see if it takes. Let us know what you find as someone may have this issue in the future and its always good to know the fix

You should be alright with all the basic maintenance tasks, can't think there are any difficulties you'd encounter on the way through it. Quite normal stuff really just don't overtighten anything and thats about it Good luck and let us know how it all goes

Hi....welcome to the Forum Sounds like you've picked up a beautiful machine there.....superb car in the day and not many good examples around now. Post up some pics of it if you want. Good to have you onboard!

I suppose they haven't got to make it easy to deter thieves accessing it but if you find a way into accessing let us know for future reference.

I imagine it would be under the bonnet on the bulkhead at the rear or inner wing area.

I suppose if it is on the invoices as being changed within the prescribed mileage/time then its fine but if in doubt.... They don't usually cost much to buy from somewhere like Eurocarparts and are relatively easy to replace

Hi.....welcome to the forum Most specialist interior (cars and boats) trimmers could repair it but may also be worth looking on ebay for a replacement

If it were me I would start from scratch and replace anything that doesn't look new and then continue a new servicing regime from there onwards Initial cost is higher but balances out after the next few services plus you know everything is in tip top condition.

Hi...welcome to the Forum The lid will act against the spring when opening and closing so I am assuming that the spring will be positioned in the lower part of the dash where the lid goes into. It should just slow into a recess and fit snugly, then position the lid into the slot acting against the spring

Hi....welcome to the forum I'm not sure what year your CRV is but if it is within 3 years then I would be recommending servicing activities be carried out by the local Honda dealership and they would have records and procedures appropriate to the service schedules recommended to the vehicle mileage and usage.

Hi David.....welcome to the Forum Haven't come across this before but I wonder if one of the rear lamp units has been removed before and put back in correctly? This is usually a good place for water to leak through into the boot Let us know what you find

You will need a GOOD air inflator (usually one at a petrol station) to inflate a completely flat tyre once you have removed the valve core. Squeeze the correct amount into the tyre through the valve stem and reinsert the valve core and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure, that's it! Let us know how you get on with it

Hi ....welcome to the forum What is the issue with the alarm? I don't think there would actually be a fuse for the alarm as such

Hi Alan....welcome to the forum There are usually some companies selling window seals of certain styles but not specific to Honda as such, you would need to choose the most similar style and size. In the meantime, maybe taking the seal off and moving it to a different position usually works in the short term

I wonder if there is a setting in the radio that maybe needs switching to daylight saving time This link may give some useful information https://www.hondacarland.com/blog/2017/march/17/how-to-set-the-honda-accords-clock-for-daylight-savings-time.htm

Hi Brian...welcome to the Forum two things come to mind, are you both using the same tyre company? and also have the rims been tested for cracks which could account for the slight air loss. I personally use Slime in my tyres and has always cure the odd loss of air over time. Lots of people say that it is not a permanent cure but I have run Slime in my tyres on motorbikes, campervan and cars and never had a puncture or lost air over any amount of time. Worth a punt even if its just in the one tyre to see how it pans out Let us know how you get on with it

Hi.....welcome to the Forum As far as I know there are not really any issues relating any of the engines in the Honda range, they are all very reliable I suppose it is a case of choosing which one suits your motoring needs best (economy, performance or tax category) Good to have you onboard and let us know what you find in your search

Hi Adam Thanks for the updated post, sorry no-one had responded to your previous one. Have you got many jobs to carry out on the Civic, hence the reason for the manual or is it a case of being prepared just in case?

Sounds like a good compromise and shouldn't attract too much of the wrong type of attention. I test drive the Type R when it came out but didn't get on with the lack of visibility, too many blind spots in my opinion but it does look great 🙂 Was happy to get back into my CRV later on that day....like a comfy pair of old slippers

I don't think the extended warranty is really needed as the CRV is a very reliable vehicle but it is always good to have for peace of mind. The 2.2 CDTi when driven conservatively can achieve around 45 mpg and for a vehicle of this size thats pretty good. Not sure of the 1.6 diesel though, but should be too far behind the 2.2 and also more suitable for shorter journeys

Welcome to the Forum Simon Good luck with the seach for a Honda, there's plenty out there but prices are usually higher than most other makes (for a reason!)
