  1. If it will not physically fit and turn the ignition lock then it would more than likely require a replacement barrel. If you contact your local dealership they should be able to match one up to your original keys by special order or if not then you would have two keys which is not too much of an inconvenience really. It may be worth spraying some WD40 or similar into the lock and try the key again before committing to ordering parts
  2. Below are some links I found on 4x4 Direct website which may shed some light on the fitting procedure Up to 2012 - Fitting Guide (PDF) https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0015/1502/8545/files/Honda_CR-V_2007-2012_Side_Step_Fitting_Instructions.pdf?17907606410955683975 2012 onwards - Fitting Guide (PDF) https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0015/1502/8545/files/Honda_CRV_2012-2017_After_Market_Side_Step_Fitting_Guide.pdf?12855092772702160784
  3. glad you resolve it and hopefully wasn't too expensive
  4. I would have said that is the case
  5. Hi Jacques....welcome to the Forum Yes it is a bit quiet on here but I'm not entirely sure it is because they are so reliable, even though they do top the poles for most reliable car, year after year! So how's our CRV been overall....happy with it? cheers, Trevor
  6. Hi....welcome to the Forum Here's an extract from Wikipedia which states the transmission being an electronically controlled semi-automatic Useful link for further information: https://h-tune.co.uk/club/threads/honda-i-shift-explained.16964/live?page=1 However, they do have history of problems and worth considering over a manual transmission
  7. Hi....welcome to the Forum I'm not too sure about some of the queries but reliability of Honda transmissions is not an issue, not heard of anything really going wrong with them if maintained correctly. You could not get autonomous breaking on a 2012 model but there may be the option for Adaptive Cruise control with distance settings which is similar in operation but may not give lane guidance or other features of an autonomous emergency breaking system. Headlamps, you should be able to get some vehicles that had the option of Xenons fitted but believe it was more of a personal specification when ordered from new. Let us know how you get on with finding the car you want
  8. You can use jump leads.... positive on first and last off
  9. Sounds like an ABS sensor has gone faulty
  10. Hi Peter....welcome to the Forum It sounds more than a water pump bearing, more like an auxiliary belt tensioner. Easy to diagnose.....remove the aux belts and see if the noise disappears. Sometimes, dripping water onto the belts and round by the tensioner works, if the noise disappears then it is either a dry belt or a tensioner bearing. It would make a great car for someone who wants a classic Honda Cheers . Trevor
  11. easily done....hope you get it sorted
  12. Hi...welcome to the Forum I think you'll find the Jazz handbook to be as useful as most of the other Honda range. My CRV book is several hundred pages and is still a nightmare to set up systems. Try YouTube for a video to explain what it is you want to achieve. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
  13. Hi Jeanette It sounds like it is something mechanical that is causing the fault as opposed to an electrical/electronic fault. Other reasons for the engine management going into limp home mode could be blocked exhaust/catalytic converter, variable turbo vanes gummed up with carbon.....all of which will restrict performance and may not flag a warning lamp or fault code. Generally though, if the engine management amber warning lamp is on then there should be a code to accompany it. Let us know what you find Cheers . Trevor
  14. It wouldn't damage the turbo, it would just lose pressure You wouldn't want it leaking on the intake side as this can damage the seals in the turbo
  15. If it is steel tube then welding is an option Cast iron can still be welded but is more specialist
  16. Hi Bruce....welcome to the Forums Feel free to post up an advert for the car when you get round to selling it
  17. The trouble with that is water tracks through so you will never usually find where it originates from whereas smoke will only come out through a gap or hole by itself rather than tracking along somewhere
  18. Hi....welcome to the Forum Can't go wrong with a CRV....superb reliable vehicle. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
  19. Try these guys....was going to get one myself but sold the vehicle before actually ordering one. http://www.iceboxauto.com/honda
  20. The rear diff oil gives a clunking noise when turning on a sharp turn at low speed (hard lock left or right going onto a driveway for example) You would then need to change the oil with the special fluid from Honda
  21. Try taking it to a garage who has a smoke generator which will identify where the leak is coming from
  22. Hi Suzie.....welcome to the forum I would initially look at the rear light lenses as a source of the water entering the boot area. If you remove the lenses and apply some silicone sealant to the gaskets before refitting then that may cure it or at least eliminate the lenses as being the culprit.
  23. Hi....welcome to the Forum Tried looking up the Stream on Eurocarparts but although it was listed, it didn't show any more detail than this below: Still can't find what you're looking for?Call our expert team on+44 (0) 203 788 7842 Alternatively you can email your enquiry to partrequest@eurocarparts.com
  24. Hi....welcome to the Forum It could be a sticking brake pad or caliper. If you strip it down and check it out you will more than likely find the issue, and hopefully a cheap fix
  25. Maybe worth trying to source one direct from Japan. Always plenty of suppliers for import vehicles and spares
