    If you scan the ECU to see if there are any fault codes it would be a good start as the possible causes are many.....split turbo boost hose, blocked EGR, sticking turbo vanes, blocked fuel filter.....etc
  2. Hi....welcome to the Club You should be able to get new wiper blades from Halfords and go for the option of getting them fitted so they have to do the legwork to open the packaging to offer up potentially suitable blades to your car. Once you find suitable ones, keep the packaging for future reference but it just comes down to length and fittings so aftermarket parts are fine in the situation Anything else specific to the Stream then I would look on eBay (link below) for listings and see what is out there https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_1838652?mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=3&campid=5338938280&customid=HondaKW&toolid=20012
  3. Hi...welcome to the Club most of these items you should be able to purchase through eBay....try this link which will take you to the Honda parts sections https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_1838652?mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=3&campid=5338938280&customid=HondaKW&toolid=20012 Also, costs are far cheaper than OE parts but try to stick to the best you can get for your budget, cheaper components won't last and can be of dubious quality
  4. Hi Michael....welcome to the Club Sounds an interesting project and story to tell of its tragic history. The exhaust I can understand as open to corrosion with standing in water but the engine, if not turned over should be fine as wouldn't necessarily ingest water to the cylinders. I would be tempted to remove as much of the anciliary items from the top of the engine and take the plugs out and fill with WD40, etc to turn over to clean the bores. Obviously, the cambelt would need changing along with water pump, etc and I reckon it will clean up nicely internally. I believe the pistons have ceramic coating and wouldn't require replacing or even cleaning. Let us know how you get on and photos of the condition as it would be great to see
  5. It worth checking the Castrol Oil Selector site to confirm if there is an alternative oil https://www.castrol.com/en_gb/united-kingdom/home/car-engine-oil-and-fluids/motor-oil-and-fluids-finder.html
  6. I have found that using an ABS sensor from the same model of car but another corner (has to be as long if not longer) does work - e.g. O/S/R for use in N/S/R or either one of the front wheels Also, has to be the same fitting but as the resistance is not too different (higher. lower) so it does function and then you just loop the cable so its tucked out of the way
  7. Oh definitely one with gum protection as well 🙂
  8. Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!
  9. Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!
  10. good to hear its where it should be now ...thanks for letting us know

    I had an old model (1st generation) CR-V drive past me yesterday and it was kitted out for off-road. Have to say it looked very impressive and judging by this video it is not all show but indeed can go offroad as well
  12. Toothpaste is apparently very good as a scrub to remove the build up on the lenses
  13. Do you have fault code(s) from the vehicle? If you could narrow it down to what exactly is bringing the warning light on then it may be easier to diagnose. Sometimes written on the invoice or if not, then ask the dealer for the codes they extracted from the engine management ECM
  14. As far as I can tell it is for the headlight washers so is tied in with the windscreen washers and also takes a power signal from the headlamps when switched on
  15. It has a timing chain and also naturally aspirated engine
  16. Thanks for giving feedback on the issue and glad it was quite a simple (and cheap) fix
  17. If the tyres are worn on the inside edge then either you have excessive camber (where the wheels are pointing inwards at the top when viewed from behind or the wheels have excessive toe-in Either way it is advisable to get a four wheel alignment check carried out to determine the cause of the tyre wear
  18. Ah that's an even better price then! Clutches can wear faster when towing heavy weights (twin axle car trailer for example) but it is also the stop-start motion on the transmission which is being pushed to the limit unless the trailer is braked and then this can reduce the 'whiplash' on the transmission components
  19. Hi....welcome to the Club What happened with the original engine. how did it fail?
  20. Hi Tony Perfect car for the environment by the sounds of it A lot less to go wrong with that generation of CR-V as well so more suited to taking onto rough and unmade roads Good to have you onboard!
  21. Seems fair enough considering the level of work required to replace the clutch I would, however, be expecting to have the Dual Mass Flywheel replaced within that cost as well
  22. I think I would be tempted to soak the nuts in WD40 or other penetrating oils over time before attempting to undo them. Using a wire brush in between treatments should also remove corrosion and you then stand a chance of removing them without breaking the studs and also being able to reuse the nuts
  23. surely that has to be a safety recall issue worth checking the VOSA database for this issue https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-recall
  24. Useful information Alan....I will check where the cat food we buy originates from
  25. To be on the safe side and to eliminate a component that will need maintenance at some point then I would recommend a transmission fluid and filter change You at least can see how bad (if that is the case) the fluid and filter are
