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.

If you have seen this on Yesterday have you noticed how few Honda's there are? Is it becasue they are too bad/good to be on there or that Honda owners don't part with them????

sorry I don't know why or how the bit about me got on that post ???? likely me pressing the wrong button!!!!! Good to know 'she' is looked after so well, wonder what the guys at Bangers and Cash make of her?

Hi David, only just seen your post re. dog crate, I had one made for my CRV to hold 2 German Shepherds takes about 6 - 8 weeks let me know if your still looking and I'll send more details. Alan

Hello Salopian, never seen one before looks in good nick, how old is she?

1st a Armstrong Siddeley 1947 £15 !! passed everything on the road expect petrol stations!! Wolseley 6/80 1953 (around) with starting handle £45 ! Fords - over the years Consul (2), Escort (2), Contina (of course I always wanted a 1600E), Escort Van. and Transits mk 5, 6 and 7. Hillman Minx, Hunter, Avenger. Vauxhalls - Victor 101, Astra Max van - Volvo 240GL, Volvo 740, the vans were all used for carrying my dogs. I was way ahead of my time driving Electric ....... albit my milk float!! I do still have a tax disc from about 15 years ago displayed on my 2005 CRV which I've had for a year and for a car 18 years old is something special the condition, finish and equipment would still put many younger cars to same ... and have no intention of going electric again 😀

Another thing I was told was that I keep under the bonnet to dry so on my transit over time ihe linkage jamed up and after a good spray of duck oil was good to go again. And your right about driving style I found it very strange to start with after a ford!!

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll try the spray

Thanks Trevor
