Also I think locking the doors by the key locks everything up but doesn't arm the alarm - I believe?

Thanks for sharing the feedback and always nice to know it was a simple fix

Crikey, sounds like a complete pain to change the Master Cylinder. Good idea of removing the seat to gain more space. Thanks for sharing the feedback and nice to know that OE parts are worth paying the extra money for

Hi Kev.....welcome to the Club Wow!, that must be one of the last of the Mk2 CR-V's haven't seen one that year before as most are Mk3's Same here, have Honda CRF1000 as well as the bikes carry the same reliability cudos as the cars. Good to have you onboard!

Honda has marked 25 years of hybrid performance with the European debut of the Prelude Concept and confirmation that the production model will return to the region ahead of its first public appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from 11-14 July. Following the concept model’s reveal at the Japan Mobility Show last year, Prelude is set to deliver the perfect balance of exhilarating driving pleasure and outstanding efficiency – embodying Honda’s long-term commitment to electrification in a stylish and dynamic package. The original Prelude made its European debut 45 years ago and served as a thrilling, high-performance showcase of Honda’s cutting-edge technology for five generations until 2001. The new model promises to be a fitting return for the renowned nameplate, as it delivers a compelling blend of style and sophistication alongside a hybrid powertrain. The name “Prelude” refers to an introductory piece of music, and appropriately positions the car as a forerunner to future models that embody Honda’s commitment to sports performance – an example of Honda bringing the “joy of driving” to customers across Europe. Tomoyuki Yamagami, Chief Engineer and Large Project Leader, Honda Motor, said: “The new Prelude not only marks the latest chapter in our ever evolving hybrid story, it is also the product of 25 years of pioneering hybrid research and development. Ensuring this model maintains its ‘sporty’ DNA by perfectly blending the efficiency and environmental advantages of electrified driving with an exhilarating experience behind the wheel – liberating users from their daily lives with increased driving pleasure.” “In addition, the Prelude demonstrates the continued importance of hybrid powertrains as part of Honda’s automobile electrification strategy – a key step towards our commitment for 100% of new vehicle sales to be battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell by 2040.” 25-Years of Hybrid Performance This year sees Honda celebrate a quarter of a century of pioneering hybrid expertise, following the arrival of the revolutionary Insight coupe as Europe’s first mass-produced hybrid model back in 1999. Ever since, the brand has pioneered the development of petrol-electric powertrain technology, with a range of models that have helped drivers make the smoothest, most convenient, and cost-effective switch to an electrified future. Following the arrival of the Insight, Honda launched the Civic IMA in 2003, which paired a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a 1.3-litre i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine and 20-horsepower electric motor to offer increased fuel efficiency. Seven-years later, the CR-Z was introduced, combining Honda’s unique IMA parallel hybrid system with a 1.5-litre petrol engine and manual transmission to offer an ideal balance between engaging driving dynamics and fuel economy. In 2011, Jazz Hybrid continued to offer the practicality for which it was known – including “Magic Seats” and 300-litres of boot space – thanks to the compact nature of the Honda IMA hybrid system. Five years later and the arrival of the NSX saw the introduction of the most-technologically-advanced all-wheel drive hybrid powertrain of the time to the supercar segment. Today, Honda’s mainstream automobile range is fully electrified, with Jazz, Civic, HR-V, ZR-V and CR-V all available with e:HEV powertrains as standard. Featuring advanced powertrains that shift seamlessly between EV, hybrid and engine drive with no input from the driver, they all combine exceptional ease-of-use with a rewarding driving experience, alongside highly competitive efficiency and emissions.

It should have an undertray and sounds like someone has left it off during service, scrapyard would be a good place to get one from

Sounds more like the camera has gone faulty....check wiring from camera through tailgate trunking for damaged wires

Is there a split in the hose before or after the MAF sensor?

You can get a new one made for very little money.....Hyphose or similar company that make and repair hydraulic hoses for diggers, etc

I would say OE but probably too expensive....look at offerings from BluePrint, never had any issues with their parts

How did you get on with the CRV purchase?

How did you get on with a replacement battery? Did it code in okay?

I would go back to the dealership as they can show you and also any other features you may be curious about....most handovers are brief nowadays and there is so much to know about operating modern Honda's Saying that, I'm not 100% sure but if when you drive in France the feature should become inactive.....it does on TomTom Sat Navs

I would be very tempted to take the assembly to Euro's and get them to try up the various parts until you get a match. It's either the arm or the balljoint (or both) that is wrong so thats what i would do and get both parts if needed

@JohnK did you purchase one yet?

Its not just cars, think I could do with some WD40 on a daily basis sometimes 🙂

Honda has relaunched its advanced connected car application following consultation with Owners and Users. The MyHonda+ app now covers the brand’s full current range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles – allowing owners to control a wide range of functionality and further integrate their vehicle into their lives. From July 1st 2024, owners of the Jazz e:HEV, Civic e:HEV, HR-V e:HEV, e:Ny1, ZR-V e:HEV and the latest-generation CR-V e:HEV and e:PHEV's will be able to access the virtual dashboard, remote vehicle operation, location finder, and geo-fencing to ensure peace of mind when leaving the car. In addition, Honda’s Digital Key will be made available for all models except Jazz, allowing owners to transform their smartphone into a key and safely share vehicle access with up to five additional drivers. Other features of the revised MyHonda+ app include the ability to send a point of interest to the sat-nav, create favourite routes, plus the use of a smartphone camera when pairing with the vehicle. Revisions to the app also mean more timely and accurate updating of the vehicle status once the ignition is switched off. All-electric and plug-in hybrid models will gain further functionality, allowing users to remotely schedule vehicle charging to meet their needs, as well as pre-heating or pre-cooling the cabin via the AC system prior to a journey. Subscription models Honda has also simplified and streamlined the MyHonda+ subscription process to ensure customers fully understand what services will be available – rolling the previous ‘Core Connectivity’, ‘Safety & Journey’, and ‘Honda Digital Key’ packages into one. This will be available free of charge for three years from the vehicle’s first registration date, followed by a low monthly payment thereafter. This new structure also allows second and subsequent owners to use the functionality free of charge if the vehicle is purchased within three years from the vehicle’s first registration. Previously, this was only available to the first registered owner of the vehicle. The updated My Honda+ will be rolled out for all existing and new users from July 1st, 2024. Current owners of the Jazz e:HEV, Civic e:HEV, HR-V e:HEV, ZR-V e:HEV and the latest generation CR-V e:HEV can book an appointment at their local dealer to activate the TCU module within the car, to enable the vehicle to sync with the app. New and prospective owners can also experience the app and trial its new functionality at dealerships.

You can treat it with Lanolin type product which tends to hold back the corrosion and gets into most areas....easy to apply also

No you should be able to lift down the sump on the transmission once its drained and change the filter

Honda paint codes - LocationIt can also be found in the door shut (the area revealed when you open the door), this is more likely on later models. On certain models the code may be located on a white sticker, in the door shut near to the lock mechanism.

Battery condition?

You could try disconnecting the battery and leaving for about half hour then reconnect to see if the sensors come back online

Hi Frogeyepete ... welcome to the Club Hopefully you shouldn't get too many problems with the Stepwagon and as long as it is maintained and any issues arise then can be dealt with before they become expensive. I reckon that changing the battery is a good call and will avoid any strange occurrences which can occur with original Japanese batteries, which are usually smaller in size. Good to have you onboard and keep us updated with how you're getting on with it

Yes, finish is far better than most and was surprised to see how quickly the fasteners corroded on my BMW GS1200, really disappointing for what was a great bike Glad to hear you're pleased with the E:Ny1 and always nice to hear feedback from owners - good and bad

well you've got a better memory than me then Alan 😂
