    MIRROR

    Try some glass glue (not superglue as when it hardens it can crack glass) or otherwise you used to be able to get mirror self adhesive pads (not sure is you can still get them) Try Halfords to see what they have in stock
  2. Hi Berni Cannot believe that a 2018 Honda would actually be suffering from this type of fault. I also cannot believe it could be a short circuit or similar taking a drain.....except for the addition of a hard wired Dashcam possibly? I would be suspecting the battery (may have internal short circuit across the plates/bad cell) Let us know what it turns out to be Cheers Trevor
  3. Oh well....back to the drawing board!
  4. Thanks for keeping me in the loop...look forward to hearing the outcome
  5. Yep, seems about right...Honda are way behind with their SatNavs and on-board electronics (e.g. Voice Control, SatNav, etc) compared to other vehicle manufacturers. Shame, because the cars are awesome but they could do with enhancing their infotainment systems to come into the 21st century. Good luck with it all
  6. Hi Boris...welcome to the Club I think you'll find that the version you have is the latest one...I could only find a 2016 version to update mine as the latest one. It will mostly still work okay as I am currently running a 2007 version and it is fine in the UK as not much has occurred in the way of new motorways and A roads, however in Europe it is way outdated and would suggest using a SatNav (TomTom, etc) to navigate your route. Cheers, Trevor
  7. Hi Patrick...welcome to the Forums Sorry, can't help on this one as not au-fait with London area. Hope someone comes up with a recommendation for you
  8. Hi SimonUK...welcome to the Forum Do you have a screenshot photo of the page in the manual so that we can decipher the process of disarming the alarm (I assume you mean the ultra-sonics monitoring the interior) Cheers, Trevor
  9. Hi Jerseyman .... welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard!
  10. Hi Dino....welcome to the Forum Good to have another fellow CR-V owner onboard
  11. I have to say that the technology used in Honda SatNavs and other onboard systems is way outdated compared to some other manufacturers....an area in which they could do with investing in.
  12. Hi willyh and welcome to the Club The CR-V is a superb car but I have to say, so is the Jag as well....definitely a lifestyle choice though. I love my CR-V for the pure reliability and available space inside and the comfort and..... Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
  13. Not sure if this is the same model version but generally the rheostat is located near to the motor (if not on top of it)
  14. Hi...welcome to the Forum It could be the file structure for the music stored on the flash drive. Maybe worth playing with the titles and format of the content to see if that makes any difference Let us know how you get on Cheers Trevor
  15. Hi Tezza...welcome to the Forum The CRV is a great car and I can understand why you've had a couple of them. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
  16. It sounds like it is broken and unable to refit if it has been ripped off....maybe Araldite or a similar adhesive would work
  17. GDMurray how are you finding the CR-V in everyday driving (e.g. non-snowing conditions)?
  18. Hi Gee I own a 2007 (3rd Generation) 2.2 diesel CR-V with manual gearbox. The Yokos are summer tyres with not a huge amount of tread left on them. In general, i think even if you put your foot down and it starts to slip and lose traction then the Traction Control System should kick in to cut the revs and give you back the traction. If you still have some snow it may be worth trying it again to see what happens....also check your tyre pressures are correct for the conditions. Cheers, Trevor
  19. Hi...welcome to the Forum What aux box did you fit and what does it allow you to do? Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
  20. Hi Gee....welcome to the forum I took my CR-V out in the snow and deliberately went up slopes on unmade roads to try out the 4wd...which I have to say I was very impressed with. Having never experienced it in action before, I was amazed at how it just dug in and went up the hill (with low throttle only) with no effort at all....different to coming down the hill though. The only time I knew it was active was when I felt a small bump from the rear as it engages the final drive. I am only running quite worn Yokohamas and they did the job okay....what tyres are you running? Cheers, Trevor
  21. Hi Billy...welcome to the Forum You could try somewhere like Timpsons who will replace the battery for you while you wait for very little cost. It should work straight away with the car as opposed to losing the code....not known it to happen on Honda, unlike VW or similar. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor
  22. Hi...welcome to the Forum It is unusual for any Honda to have this many issues in such a relatively short space of time. It could quite possibly be down to fuel pressure as generally when you accelerate hard it will pull the fuel rail pressure down. I could only really suggest running some reputable (quality) fuel treatment additive through the fuel system to clear any carbon, etc within the engine and restore power. Keep us updated with progress on how it is all going and whether the fault returns. Cheers, Trevor
  23. Nearly 50% of all cars that fail an MOT do so because of small faults that could be avoided by simple, at-home car maintenance. These problems are easy to correct, and fixing them before taking the car in for its MOT could help you pass first time and avoid garage costs. To help, Ring, the automotive specialist in bulbs, wipers, battery care and tyre care, has some advice on the simple things that can be done to avoid an MOT fail. Lights and signalling – 17.8% failure rate 4.5m cars fail because of lamps, reflectors and electrics every year. Doing a quick bulb check before you take the vehicle to the garage could avoid an MOT fail. Make sure you check all the exterior bulbs – this includes the side light, indicator, tail light and number plate lights. The registration plate lamp being out accounts for 4.5% of MOT fails. When it comes to headlamps, there are plenty of options out there, including upgrades to help bulbs last longer or put more light on road for safer driving. We recommend you always replace bulbs in pairs, to ensure the light output is equal from both headlights. Ring stocks a range of bulbs, including long life versions, and for headlamps, try the new Xenon150 bulbs (nationwide – SSP £39.99), which put up to 150% more light on road without compromising on life. Tyre condition – 7.5% failure rate Well maintained tyres are essential to ensure safe driving – and neglecting them could mean a failed MOT. The legal requirement for tyre tread on passenger vehicles up to eight seats is 1.6mm, but studies show that when the tread drops below 3mm, stopping distance begins to be significantly affected. Checking tyre tread is easy and requires a simple depth gauge. However, to ensure your tyres are both safe and helping cut down fuel consumption, drivers need to check the pressure as well. For a digital gauge that gives accurate readings on a large backlit screen, records the correct pressure and has an integrated LED light, Ring suggests the RTG7 Programmable Digital Tyre Pressure & Tread Depth Gauge. This is easy to store in the car and easy to use, wherever you are. Available nationwide, SSP £24.99. While there is no legal requirement for tyre pressure, under- or over-inflated tyres will reduce the traction between the tyre and the road, making driving less safe and less fuel efficient. For easy pressure top ups, try the Ring RAC635 Digital Tyre Inflator, with preset for accurate inflation. This industry-recognised inflator can inflate a 13” tyre from flat to 35PSI in under 3 minutes – making tops up quick and simple. Driver’s view of the road – 6.8% failure rate Cracks in the windscreen and worn wipers are a big reason for vehicles to fail. As wiper deteriorate gradually, drivers often don’t realise they are no longer clearing the windscreen effectively. Choosing and fitting the right blade can seem tricky, but Ring’s new range of Ultravision Wiper Blades (SSP £9.99 to £13.99) make blade selection easy. The unique, patent-pending clip fits 95% of the car parc, meaning that drivers just need to know the blade length for their vehicle to select the correct blade. The clip adapts to fit the seven most common wiper arms. Henry Bisson, Marketing Manager at Ring, says “Motorists could be making savings by carrying out basic checks and maintenance at home, but often they don’t realise that these minor faults could cause an MOT fail. What’s more, having well-maintained tyre, blade and lighting are driving safety essentials, so making sure they are regularly checked and replaced when necessary is critical.” For more details on Ring’s range of bulbs, wiper blades and tyre care, visit www.ringautomotive.com
  24. 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
  25. 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
