Always thought this sumed up things very well when it first appeared.... Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else Is To Blame I'm A Victim Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Thanks Bazzer RN 1, just the standard or the best diesel for the Merc?

What's the opinion on the fuel we use, Supermarket or a brand, standard or the super stuff?????

Thanks Bazzer, I got some off Amazon, and as you say lot cheaper than Honda, 4 for the price of 1!!

Be good to hear what you think as I need to re-shoe my girl soon!

Sounds like you also had an exciting time abit it without the bells and bows, think I would pick yous, seeing the world with good mates and few broken hearts in some ports and thanks for looking after us.

Just had a look at those sites, really packed with good information and pleased that Honda are well thought of. Learning a lot since I became a member thanks all.

Thanks for the info

Anyone able to tell me the cost of a CR-V i-CTDi in 2005 seems such a well appointed cars so must have cost a far bit then.

Those tyres get a good review don't they and the price is very good the only thing that puts me off a little in where they are made.

Thanks again Trevor, really please I found and joined you guys.

You certainly had a few Trevor, in foresight as you say if you had kept them all you would be as well off as Derek in Bangers and Cash seems!! 😆

Hello Tom, been a member since mid July, find it very interesting and useful. I've got a CRV 18 years old and a great motor

Gave my CRV a good run yesterday, to blow the cob webs out, did as you guys said, had a few puffs of black smoke and then it was clear and seemed sweeter. Today no black smoke 👏

Can anyone tell me the size of the nuts/covers to hold the upper engine rain/dust cover in please on a 2005 CRV please. Also where I might get them looked on ebay couldn't find anything. Thank you

Clears !!! it's Friday .. Cleaners of course, hard to believe I lived in Cambridge!!! Thanks Trevor and Bazzer RN 1

What's your view on injection clears you put in the fuel tank, any good??

Thanks Trevor, best answer I've ever had, now I need to remember and do it!!

Gave under the boot a good spray and it certainley seems to have done the job👍

How should a diesel car be driven? Over the years by various 'esperts' I've been told to get the best and a long life from them drive them hard all the time others have said softly softly and still other softly most of the time but give them a good hard drive sometimes to clean the pipes out. So which is right please.

Sorry if it's confussing, it was about a newspaper report I'd seen.

That's unbelievable, I've only heard good things about Honda and Honda cars but stories like yours are worrying to say the least. I've never dealt with a main dearler or the like so can't make any comment other than feel for you.

Hello ! I have a 2005 CR-V had a few cars over the years but this is the best and it's the oldest I'll had at 18. Lots of information on here so your in good company. Alan

Hello Richie, I've been a member for a couple of weeks now, mostly it's a load of rubbish I talk about but the rest of it is great!! Alan

You get put inside for 17 years for something you didn't do and when you get out because they made a mistake, there's talk about you paying for accommodation etc. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! out of any compensation you may get.
