Hi Merlin....welcome to the Forum Sorry I'm not sure of the exact answer but have had similar issues in the past and have gone to a parts department at a dealership and asked to try one on in the car park to see if it fits okay. Let us know how you get on with finding the correct wheel Cheers, Trevor

There are plenty of aftermarket audio head units out there that support reverse cameras (Halfords have some in store I beleive) also, there are bluetooth versions on eBay as well

Hi...welcome to the Forum I haven't seen a Z600 in years...surely there can't be many left on the road? Good to have you onboard and feel free to post up a piccy of the Civic if you like. Cheers, Trevor

Maybe worth taking it to a transmission specialist to diagnose before flying into gearbox replacement as it may be something else within the driveline that's a cheap easy fix....worth a try

VTEC is the camshaft variable control on the petrol engines and should be clearly stamped on the engine covers, etc This may shine some light on it https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Vehicle_Identification_Numbers_(VIN_codes)/Honda/VIN_Codes

The HR-V should be the same as the CR-V for the 4WD function. It uses fluid pressure to measure any slip on the drive and applies it accordingly. The Diff fluid in the rear final drive should be changed periodically to ensure it doesn't degrade (a knocking when on full lock is the usual sign). Automatic transmissions can whine but if it is permanently doing it through all gears then I would be concerned as it may be a bearing on the way out. Worth having it checked over I would think

FR-V change from UK to European (LHD) headlights
Trevor replied to John Knott's topic in Honda General Discussions
Result!!!! Glad you managed to source some in the end....worth keeping the old ones for spares in case you damage them in the future. Thanks for keeping us updated. You've just got to fit them now -
That's great news Jim Wonder how it blocked in the first place, whether it was calcium in the water or poor quality screenwash depositing residue in the jets?
-
Can you inject a blast of air into the washer jet with something like the compressed air tin that you can use on a computer ?
-
Not sure about the width as to whether that includes mirrors. The autoboxes are reliable as far as I know but ensure that regular fluid changes have occurred over the mileage and years. I have always found the auto Jazz to be surprisingly nippy and picks up well on the gears. Had problems with the central locking not working and throwing up a fault with the immobiliser. Had to replace the ECU, keys, fusebox and ignition barrel (second hand parts) and therefore didn't need coding.
-
Sounds like the jet is blocked and may need unblocking with some fuse wire for it to work.
-
Sounds like the release bearing which is usually worn by resting a foot on the clutch pedal when driving...takes up the working clearance and after a while you get a whistling noise when changing gear. Hope it gets sorted at a reasonable price.

Hi Darren...welcome to the Forum A fellow CR-V driver.....you must obviously be a very good chap indeed! Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Kelvin....welcome to the Forum My ladyfriends' father just recently sold an automatic Jazz with only 9000 miles on the clock with a service every year regardless of mileage....what a gem but as it was 14 years old pretty much all the rubber components were starting to perish badly. Hope you find a good one Cheers Trevor

2007 CR-V 2.2 cdti ES spec and love it .... 45mpg from a big car, what's not to like about it?
-
Hi Jennifer...welcome to the Forum Which year and engine is your CRV? Quite possibly it could be a split turbo hose or vacuum leak but depends on whether it's a petrol or diesel engine. Let me know the year and engine and I may be able to help further. Cheers, Trevor

CR-V central isofix point/seatbelt question (2016)
Trevor replied to sparetc's topic in Honda General Discussions
I see what you mean (had to look up extended isofix seat base to see what you meant) and can see how that would intrude upon the nearside seatbelt....not one of Honda's better ideas! -
Hi Sean....welcome to the Forum Unfortunately, the Honda SatNav and electronics is sadly lacking in technology compared to other manufacturers. I also use a TomTom in my CR-V but the only saving grace is when it is a cloudy day (which is when the SatNavs really play up) the Honda one, as it has an exterior aerial, does perform better as picking up more satellites. One other issue I have found is that if you have a Dash Cam with WiFi, this can sometimes interfere with SatNavs and (if fitted) may be worth switching off to try this theory. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

FR-V change from UK to European (LHD) headlights
Trevor replied to John Knott's topic in Honda General Discussions
if they don't notice that you have aftermarket Xenon's fitted and that the beam is just flat and they're happy with that then it certainly is worth a try. Wouldn't get away with it here but I hear the French Control Technique looks for very specific items and totally disregards the blatantly obviously dangerous stuff.....but I suppose they are only singing from a hymn sheet the same as the British MoT tester does. -
Hi...welcome to the Forum Not entirely sure as to whether it will fit but if local to you then may be best to try it on before you hand over any cash....done that before and it saves loads of aggro later on with trying to sell them back on when you find they don't fit (VW / Audi have a few combinations of PCD). Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor

CR-V central isofix point/seatbelt question (2016)
Trevor replied to sparetc's topic in Honda General Discussions
Hi...welcome to the Forum I thought that the seatbelt for the centre seat drops down from the roof behind the rear seats, it does on mine (2007 CR-V) Be interested to know how you get on with this Cheers, Trevor -
FR-V change from UK to European (LHD) headlights
Trevor replied to John Knott's topic in Honda General Discussions
Hi John...welcome to the Forum Had a quick look around eBay and few other places...nothing available as you say. Cannot see that there is any adapter to swap the kick-up either. Only place I can find that would sell headlamps for LHD Honda is in the USA. https://www.carid.com/honda-headlights/ Sorry I can't help further but let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor -
Fitting a Dashcam to a CR-V
Trevor replied to Mark Adams's topic in Honda Audio / Video / Electronics / Security Systems
Shouldn't be at all invasive and nothing that cannot be reversed within 5 minutes. Let us know how you get on with it -
Hi Jim There are a few listed here https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=honda+hrv+centre+armrest&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X2000+honda+hrv+centre+armrest.TRS0&_nkw=2000+honda+hrv+centre+armrest&_sacat=0 Not sure if they are the same type as yours though

Fitting a Dashcam to a CR-V
Trevor replied to Mark Adams's topic in Honda Audio / Video / Electronics / Security Systems
Hi Mark....welcome to the Forum I fitted a Nextbase Dash Cam to my 2007 CRV and it works fine. Two things worth mentioning though: 1. Use the sticky back adapter plate to affix to the screen where the black dotted area is to avoid the cam being too low down and tucks it out of the way nicely. The lead then tucks away very nicely behind the trim with no effort at all. 2. The fusebox is a nightmare to access and remove fuses, even had to modify the standard Honda fuse to fit the Nextbase adapter (wholly the Honda at fault here I must say). Also trying to find a fuse that was ignition switched....good luck with that one. In the end, feeling sore lying across the sill and with my head upside down under the dash, I opted for a 'hot' fuse, being live all of the time but setting the Cam to sleep after a short while and it also works to activate the Cam if any movement triggers it. Here is a link to an article I wrote about the 512GW Dash Cam and the links to the Hardwire Kit as well. http://www.drivn.co.uk/nextbase-512gw-dash-cam-review/ http://www.drivn.co.uk/nextbase-dash-cam-hardwire-kit/ Let us know how you get on with it, especially if you do locate an ignition switched fuse Cheers, Trevor
