Hi...welcome to the Forum I believe there is a way as I found access to it with a late model 3rd Generation CRV but can't remember how to access it. Worth trawling the masses of info in the user manual to research the method of access. If you do find a way it would be great if you could it up here Cheers, Trevor

Spare wheel Honda Jazz i-VTEC EX Navi CVT 2019
Trevor replied to Bob's topic in Honda General Discussions
You can post the wheel in the For Sale section of the forum if you wish -
The problem may be stemming from poor battery terminal connections so I would check there first. Otherwise, the fault may be more complex, see link: http://www.vehix411.com/6611-2/

Hi....welcome to the Forum Wow! that's a lot of miles on the clock but as I say, it obviously got there by being a reliable car £795 is cheap enough, go for it 🙂

Great result so far Andy! Don't forget also to get the Shell Drivers Card as it gives you money back when you accrue enough points....win, win!

Spare wheel Honda Jazz i-VTEC EX Navi CVT 2019
Trevor replied to Bob's topic in Honda General Discussions
Great result Bob! It's worth publicising the supplier as I'm sure there are lots of people out there who desire a full size spare wheel in their car. -
Look forward to hearing the diagnosis. Get him also to pay particular attention to any earth cables and battery connections which could be causing the issue
-
Shell also do loyalty points which equates to money off in the future 🙂

It's difficult to regain confidence in a vehicle I find once it has played up, but after a while when it has gone wrong I tend to forget it and just continue driving with no problems....assuming it doesn't occur anymore in the future.

Sounds like the headlamps can't breath with the condensation inside. Maybe leave the covers off from the back (where you would replace the bulbs) to allow some air to circulate
-
It definitely sounds like the battery is failing. Check the terminals are tight on the battery and that there is no corrosion on them. Failing that, check the alternator output (which sounds like its okay if the revs affect the dash illumination) and replace the battery if in doubt.

With the amount of rain we have had lately I am not at all surprised that its getting in everywhere. The easiest and most accurate method to determine where water is getting in is to use a Smoke Generator which will leak the smoke out wherever the water is getting in, far easier to see it as well

Hi Matt.....welcome to the Forum Both great cars with superb engines, never miss a beat! Good to have you onboard
-
Hi Richard....welcome to the Forum I would definitely get this checked out by an auto-electrician or reputable garage as it sounds like power distribution, could even be loose battery terminals causing it Let us know what you find
-
I find that the branded fuel is not that much more expensive than the supermarkets nowadays so I tend to use the better fuels (esso, bp, shell, texaco) they also have loyalty points which equate to money off in the long term so much lost by not using the supermarkets. Generally tend to also notice the difference in performance but not really an increase in economy though
-
Its certainly worth trying to ascertain whether it is substandard fuel that could be causing the issue. Also, don't forget the Italian tune-up....always works to clear out the engine 🙂

Well done for having a go yourself, sometimes the best way to learn I know a few of the guys at Highbury and I know they have been going through a bit of a turnover of staff lately which is a shame for the students....lets hope things improve. The crank pulley movement is not a good thing but I don't think its responsible for the belt slippage. If there is a squeal then this could be the PAS pump itself, especially if placed on full lock for an extended period, which is never a good thing anyway. If the belt slips then tighten it some more but it can be detrimental to overtighten it in the first place so just keep an eye on it.

Hi....welcome to the forum I have come across these before and they appear to work quite well. If someone is coming by to steal your cat then if you make it difficult (but not impossible) for them they will probably leave it and move onto another one that is not protected http://www.catsafe.org.uk/

Spare wheel Honda Jazz i-VTEC EX Navi CVT 2019
Trevor replied to Bob's topic in Honda General Discussions
Hi Bob I can see your dilemma. The main problem I see is that rolling diameter will be different and this can cause faults such as the ABS sensing a disparity between this wheel and the others on the car. If you were to see if there is a tyre with a taller profile that would equate to the same rolling diameter then I don't see an issue with using it. As long as the wheel fits the boot well I cannot see why it would fail an MOT though. -
Sounds very odd! Hopefully they can nail on Thursday....fingers crossed

Hi....welcome to the Forum Always good to have a fellow mechanic on board....feel free to help out with any technical posts on here if you want to. Cheers . Trevor

Hi Roy Could you please give us some more details about what happened before it packed up
-
Sounds like it is running on a default setting while the EML is on and that is resulting in it running properly....in which case a sensor setting would be substituted for a known value....e.g. it definitely sounds like an engine sensor at fault
