Not sure why but will they fit even though they look different? If not, then return them for the right ones

Congratulations on your purchase! Certainly looks a great car and if it needs a few things that are relatively inexpensive then so be it. Keep us updated on the refurb progress. p.s. we have increased the file size for photo attachments but worth reducing the size prior to posting up as this tends to jam up the server with massive images.

Hi.....welcome to the Forum Here is a link to a supplier who lists some struts at a very reasonable price https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/honda/cr-v-ii-rd/18473/10926/tailgate-struts

Hi...welcome to the Forum Here is a link to Haynes who list a manual for your car...available in print only and although it says it doesn''t cover diesels and its US market, I would imagine that the majority of the information is the same. https://haynes.com/en-gb/honda/civic/2012-2015

Hi Hilda....welcome to the Forum Checked eBay and cannot find anything. So apart from a scrapyard then I would advise visiting a vehicle trimmers who may be able to manufacture a new belt to fit the existing seatbelt mechanism. Let us know if you find one anywhere

Keep us updated and hope it is everything you hope for

Hi....welcome to the Forum I could recommend using the parts search facility on Euro Car Parts . https://www.eurocarparts.com/ Just type in your registration number and this should bring up all available service parts Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor

Hi James.....welcome to the Forum The mk2 CRV is a superb car and quite capable of moderate off-roading. I assume with a bit of work to allow better ground clearance then it could be a little more adventurous Good to have you onboard

Very nice indeed.....looks incredibly clean

This chap may be interested in it Scipio Africanus ...maybe send him a message to see if he is interested

Hi Stephen....welcome to the Forum There is a chap just posted on here that is he looking at an Accord.....maybe ping him a message through here?

Hi.....welcome to the Forum Nice collection of cars! Have to say, am tempted into a Volvo C70 convertible....how do they fair? reliable or not? The Accord is a completely reliable car overall as long as it has been maintained correctly over the years. Would replace the cambelt if in doubt that it hasn't previously been replaced, otherwise it shouldn't give you any issues. Good to have you onboard and let us know how it goes with the purchase of the Accord

🙂 No frowning faces here! Welcome to the Forum

Hi....welcome to the Forums I have heard of similar issues from CR-V owners of the newer models....seems the older one are built better and have technology of the era. The newer ones I'm afraid are still running with old tech and this is the reason it doesn't work too well. They are trying to drag old tech into the newer vehicle range and its not suitable. The voice control function does not and never has worked well but it is just easier to control it manually by hand. The Climate Control is probably set to 'auto' by default so is doing just that I would imagine. The audio may only be down to settings that need changing, worth checking the extensive handbook(s) for more information. Honda customer relations do leave something to be desired as have experienced this personally in the past, otherwise, they do produce damn good vehicles overall

Hi Steve.....welcome to the Forums The 2.2 engine is bomb-proof and the FRV itself is pretty damn good so as long as you stay on top of maintenance items and use quality service parts then you shouldn't have any real issues. Good to have you onboard

Hi John.....welcome to the Forum There should be a rubber bulb on the bulkhead and a bleed nipple on the top of the fuel filter....crack the nipple open very slightly and pump the bulb until all the air is expelled

Hi.....welcome to the Forum i don't see many Shuttle's around much nowadays....hope you're enjoying it? Good to have you onboard

Hi....welcome to the Forum I would have no hesitation in buying a higher mileage Honda as long as it has a complete service history (not necessarily main dealer stamps) and has been looked after. Although, there are two sorts of high miles....one is motorway miles which are superb and then there are town miles which will see substantially higher wear and tear on the car. Worth looking at how its been used in the past and by whom (e.g. mum using it for school runs, little old lady to go to the post office for her pension, or a sales rep on the motorway. Be in mind also that it is a diesel and they do not like being smoked around town. Good luck with the purchase and hope you don't find anything untoward in the history. Let us know how you get on with it. Cheers, Trevor

Looks like it will need to go to a reputable garage for further diagnosis. My thoughts are fuel pressure sensor or fuel filter blocked

Hi....welcome to the Forum The reversal of battery terminals can be enough to destroy electronic components that are current polarity sensitive....unless they have diode protection. If the vehicle is not responding to the new battery (assuming it is fully charged 12volts) then chances are the Electronic Control Units (ECU) are fried and also the Alternator is more than likely damaged as well. It looks like you'll need to take it to a reputable garage or auto electrician to diagnose the fault and damaged components Let us know how you get on with it

Hi....welcome to the Forum These codes are predominantly for the air intake, fuel and exhaust areas of the Engine Management system. My first thought is if it has ceased running and won't start then it is going to be a fuel related issue. Has it been misfuelled (petrol instead of diesel)? Has any maintenance or repairs been carried out on the car before this occurred?

Hi Leigh....welcome to the Forum I found Honda's later in life and actually thought 'why didn't I get one sooner'. After some pondering, I came to the conclusion that perhaps I wasn't yet ready for one, e.g. this is why the more mature motorist go for Honda I believe. In reality, they are superb cars and uber-reliable and cannot believe it took so long to take the plunge after driving some horrific cars over the years. Good to have you onboard and please let us know how living with a Honda is working out for you Cheers, Trevor

Hi...welcome to the Forum Clutch judder could be down to a couple of things.... Defective clutch pressure plate (broken springs) or defective driven plate (breaking up) Also, other areas like engine/gearbox mounts being worn or damaged and also worn driveshaft joints. Worth checking these items prior to committing to a new clutch Let us know how you get on with it

Definitely sounds like a trip to the dealership with your wallet as I cannot think of any other explanation at this stage

Just a thought but have you got the key in a Faraday pouch and the signal is being blocked ?
