Not to Hijack a tread but while on the subject of wheels has anyone attempted to put on larger diameter wheels on an FRV or have any suggestions as to how large one could go before having rubbing issues?
(personally, to me the stock wheels just look too small and the car would look a lot nicer with a slightly larger wheel)
Edit* just re-Read the first reply and realised you mention you 17inc alloys on so yeah they would be bigger then my stock 15's 😂🤣
16" is the stock size on the later FR-Vs - there should be plenty of those knocking around
As long as the overall radius stays the same you shouldn't have problems with rubbing. Use the calculator here to compare your stock size to whatever you want to change to: https://tire-calc.com/
17" Accord Euro R wheels look good if you can find them 🙂👍

Is it not likely to be the condenser or compressor?
Maybe, but start by troubleshooting the cheap/easy stuff. if you need to replace a relay, that's a tenner.
If the compressor clutch is seized, you're talking about quite a few hundred to replace the compressor and the clutch (if the car is old or high mileage, there's no point replacing one and not the other).
You can find loads of YouTube vids that show you what to look for, like these:

Honda have quoted me £583.87
Any backstreet mechanic can change a timing belt and water pump on a 00-06 Civic for half that price. There's absolutely no reason to take a car that old to a dealer.

Do you folks think law enforcement cameras are an invasion of privacy?
Could say the same for dashcam videos we see all the time on YouTube.
But I don't think you can have any expectation of privacy while you're in a public place, can you? Everybody's got a camera phone, so if you do something silly you're gonna be internet famous anyway 😄

It's a 2-ton car with 140-150bhp. It's no meant to be very quick 🤔
You could maybe get a remap, but that's probably throwing money down a hole

You'll probably want to watch the whole thing to appreciate the job, but this guy gets at the cupholder screws at around 2:10

Prise off the trim that covers the clocks and vents. The vent on the left will fall off but you can clip it back on again.
You can see a screw holding the switch assembly to the dash. Take it out, being careful not to lose the metal clip down inside the dash.
Remove the storage pocket below and to the right of the steering wheel by opening it toward you and then lifting upward.
See the screw? Take it out, and gently pull the trim off.
Unclip the cables from the VSA button and the dimmer switch.
Unclip the two cables from the switch assembly.
There are upside-down two screws holding the switch assembly to the dash. Take them out.
There's one more screw to the front and left of the switch assembly. Take that out.
This should help you visualise the four screw locations:
You'll notice in the first photo that the cover is missing. That'll probably need to come off to give yourself room to wiggle the switch assembly out.
I don't know about replacing individual switches...I didn't bother as I'd got another switch assembly from a scrappy.
If any of you take one apart, take some photos 🙂 👍

Looks like it's do-able:

Does the clutch kick in on the compressor when you turn on the AC?
If no, go in the fusebox and swap the relay with a known good one (like the horn relay).
If it still doesn't work you could have a wiring problem between the fusebox and the compressor, or it could be the coil that actuates the clutch.
Can you easily turn the pulley on the compressor by hand?
If no, your compressor could be seized.

The white connector on the right is for a CD changer:
You can get a bluetooth adapter on Amazon or AliExpress that plugs in there:

Go here and stick in your VIN:
https://www.parts-honda.uk/
Search for 'compressor' and you should find the part no. for your model. You can google that to cross-reference with other models
