Hi guys,
apart from the usual Haynes manual is there an alternative online workshop manual for the above car?... Read more
Hi,
I am a fresh owner of the CR-V 2009. I have took the car to the honda technical checks, and suspension was spot on. However I noticed that when I driving on uneven road surface or small road holes, bumps, manholes etc I feel very unpleasant noise as all this uneven surface transfer to the cabin, like there was no suspension at all....

When i had my CR-V i found the "CR-V owners club" forums useful. There is a sub forum for each generation (yours is a gen 3) suggest you join and ask there. Lots of helpful people there with good knowledge of CR-Vs.
In order to avoid parking charges, inconvenient public transport and expensive long distance taxi, we found someone to take us to and collect from Heathrow T2-3 long stay using our car. Is it best/cheapest for them to arrange insurance with their company; us to arrange it with ours, or do it a third way, e.g. RAC day insurance? Any advice from anyone with experience of doing this much appreciated. Read more
Inkjet printer - discount the basic printer and charge champagne prices for the ink
Hence I moved to laser printer. Overall cheaper than inkjet printers. Though my printing need is mostly monochrome. ...
.It was a 40 road and the guy in front was barely doing 30 so I was quite close, hoped he would just speed up. Well he didn't he did the opposite he randomly kept braking and going down to 20. My fault for following him too closely . Say if he reported me. Could I then counter report saying he was antagonising me and brake checking which I believe is also illegal?
Are awareness courses offered for tailgating etc, would it be 3 points for DwDCA or six points for dangerous? I'm still within the 2 year limit.

"Just pull over and let them get on with it.
That's exactly what I do, as soon as I'm able to.
Just to update you on the following story

Has anyone noticed the OP's rather ungallant title to this thread?
Hopefully Mrs OP is not a frequent visitor to this forum.
When the MG5 came along, it really rocked the EV establishment in terms of bang per buck. But it looked a bit odd, like they couldn't decide whether to make a hatchback or estate, so instead settled on something which looked like a hatchback with an abbreviated estate rear grafted on. But it certainly was cheap, and for folk looking for a usable family EV, who were not overly concerned with looks or driving dynamics, it was a winner.
Now they are bringing us the MG4, slightly smaller, more distinctive in appearance, and crucially, even cheaper. Prices start just under £26k for the smaller battery model (around £2k cheaper than the MG5) with a WLTP range of 218 miles. An extra £2.5k gets you the bigger battery with a 281 mile range and still comes out nearly £800 less than the cheapest Corsa-e!. ... Read more
Could be that the decision to source Chassis from China was taken by a bean counter. They were five pence per chassis cheaper than sourcing from closer to home. Yep bean counters really are that short sighted.
Very few people will pay more for something that can get elsewhere cheaper.
Just wondering whether these huge increases in electricity will have an effect on whether people will buy EVs. and for those already running one-is it still the cheapest option.?
For me the key reason to buy is because petrol cars won’t be manufactured much longer.

It is inevitable that the government will seek to replace duty lost on fuel sales as EV is adopted. I would expect any changes to be fully implemented by the 2030 transition date - and possibly a few years before then for new vehicles.
RFL may be increased but I suspect that charging on the basis of usage/mileage would be perceived as "fairest"....
There's a section of the Gloucester outer ring road that's single carriageway and is always a bit of a bottleneck. I was driving along it yesterday and it was very slow, about 5 mph or so. The two lanes are separated by a strip of chevrons with dotted sides so it's perfectly legal to go into them and these chevrons go on for a mile.
So there was a bike behind me for the whole of the time we were stuck in traffic. When I was riding I'd have been up the centre like a rat up a drainpipe. I can't figure out why you'd ignore one if a motorbike's best features and dawdle along behind cars. Read more
No I don't think it was a learner. I couldn't see any L plates. It's just that if there was a safe place to filter that was it. Nice 3ft wide chevrons keeping traffic out if the way. Takes all sorts
Hoping for some advice. I know nothing about cars but needed an older vehicle for mucky jobs, so found something suitable (2005 registration) with a small dealer about 180 miles away, and arranged to have the car delivered. Paid a deposit and then the balance on delivery £4,000 in total plus delivery). As I expected, the car was quite mucky with patches of rust around the doors but that didn’t bother me. However, after putting in £20 of fuel, I noticed a strong smell of petrol when I drove the car. Had it checked by a reputable garage and they have told me that:
1. There is a split in the fuel tank seam.
2. The front subframe is rotten.
3. Fibreglass repairs have been made to structural parts of the car (e.g. the inner sills).
4. Something has been sprayed underneath the car to hide the extent of the general corrosion, which is extensive.
I wouldn’t have picked up any of these things if I’d gone to see the car before buying, although I might have picked up the smell of petrol. I’m trying to figure out if I have any rights under the Consumer Rights Act. Am I correct that even just the fuel tank issue (which is potentially dangerous) meets the definition of a significant fault? Many thanks in advance. Read more
PROBLEM
is that what you said to dealer. Tere is a defence for him to come back and say you gave an assurance before use on a road any defect present would be repaired to make the vehicle roadworthy and comply traffic law...
Hi all. Long time lurker, first time poster.
Im on the lookout for a new petrol manual motor after my Zafira 06 has given up the ghost.... Read more
Thanks for your thoughts. It's about an 90 min journey for me to view. With that in mind, are there any deal-breaker questions you would ask the seller prior to travelling? Sorry to ask but all the cars I've ever bought have been within 10 miles of my doorstep!
