A quick search has not revealed anything so it may be a case of repairing it once more 😞

Small light fuse number 29? I would see what else is not working (e.g. interior lights) as it could be on the same circuit and easier to find which circuit its on

It does seems a little bit on the expensive side, worth trying an independent supplier/fitter who should be able to carry out the same job but a lot cheaper

I don't think there's much more advance on the SatNav updates of which Honda are way behind all other manufacturers. However, if the roads haven't changed much over a couple of years then it should be fine....I have found Europe changes a lot but not so much the UK as road construction hasn't been going on much since all the cutbacks

Anthony86 ...welcome to the Forum I believe it would be worth taking it to the dealer and seeing if it needs a software update which should cure the fault

Hi....welcome to the Forum Not got any experience of towing with a Civic Tourer but would recommend a remap to enhance the torque and flexibility of the engine / gears. Very little cost and would transform the drive especially when towing and would make the gears slightly longer between changes. I used a Tuning Box on my CR-V and it made a tremendous difference to the drive and economy. Let us know how you get on with towing with the Civic

Hi Arif.....welcome to the Forum I would imagine it is a faulty door sensor If you close and open each door in turn and see if the interior light goes out after opening and closing each one (may be delayed slightly) and then if one does not either turn the light on or off then it is a faulty sensor. Alternatively, if you are going to remove a terminal, it is best to remove the negative terminal and not the positive. Let us know what you find

Hi.....welcome to the Forum Where is the smell coming from (e.g. under the bonnet, inside the cabin, etc) ? Also, is it consuming engine oil ? In normal use, and assuming it the engine is 'stretching its legs' then very little oil should be being burnt and I would investigate this as a matter of urgency. If you take the oil filler cap off when the engine is at idle then there should be very little plumes of oily vapour being emitted....excessive amounts could suggest the rings are gummed up with carbon or worse. Sometimes, an oil or fuel additive can assist in reducing the amount of oil being consumed in combustion.

Hi....welcome to the Forum Certainly sounds like water ingress in a body control unit. Alternative thoughts are maybe it could be some wiring in the tailgate area so when the tailgate opens and closes it breaks the wiring in the loom which connects the two. Can give loads of strange faults, easy to check and repair though Let us know how you get on with it

Its always worth having a go at maintaining your car no matter what age as long as it doesn't require special tools, which unfortunately most modern cars now use to carry out even the most simple procedures.

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
