Sooooo much want! What a cracking buy mate, she's a stunner and deffo a keeper!
-
Yeah, the fobs and actually the whole remote central locking system is pants! You need to be close to the car for it to work, and the fob needs an unrestricted view of the sensor inside the car or it doesn't work. What you can do is try and clean the inside of the rubber buttons, as they can get dirty and then failt to make proper contact with the circuit board.Be careful cleaning them though, just use a damp cloth and go gently on them. There's like a coating on them (magnetic? Lead? Or something else!) so be careful not to remove it when cleaning. Clean the battery terminals inside the fob too, to make sure it's getting good contact. If the fob got really wet and the water got inside (after the battery was replaced) the new battery could now be busted. TBH, you're deffo better with an aftermarket alarm system that has the remote locking feature or like you say the Hawk lockinjg system. Much much better than the oem system!

Deffo for me too, the old ones looked better and more purposeful.

lol I quite like the CRV's, not a bad car at all. Like every other car out there, yeah they do have their faults, but most of it is covered on the internet so all fixable. They aren't the most fuel efficient cars out there that's for sure, but if you aint too fussed about that then yeah go for it mate. I did prefer the diesel but like you say, the reviews about them arte a hit and miss, so not sure if it's probably better to go for the petrol version. Either way, not a bad car to potter around in, and at least it's still a Honda!
-
Oh dear, can see why you'd want to change them mate. Any front. bumper from the facelift MB 5 door civics will fit. For the rear, again the facelift bumpers are all the same between 5door civic m's and are cheap to buy. Give our member/trader 10000RPM as he usually has them in stock. . Or any breakers local to you should also have them .

Lol always the way with cars! But you're getting through the problems
-
That's a tidy looking crv mate!
-
Yes to the white one........but as that's a concept we all know Hondas production version will look sod all like it....although that's the photo they'll promote! Lol nice looking car though
-
Lol spill the beans!
-
You going for another Civic mate? @philgor
-
I wasn't aware the alternator was a serviceable part? Usually if something fails in it it's a lot easier to just change the complete unit. Anyone else know if you can service the bearings in them?
-
Sounds very strange! Are you only hearing this knock at low speeds? Usually the way to find out if a CV join is failing is to take the car into a car park, and turn the steering onto full lock. Then start to pull away, but keep it on full lock. Do this with the steering on full lock in both directions. Is there any "clicking" or clonking?

@UnicyclingTom I've posted in the team room about this mate.
-
Not sure mate, will have a look when I get home.
-
Lmao
-
Yeah, you wouldn't be able to go fully into reverse mate whilst the cars traveling forward at speed. There were some really old cars you could do that in though.....with disastrous results!
-
LMAO a bottle o' buckie and lets go drifting!
-
nice!
-
Not sure mate, might try and find it in a Rover Haynes manual though or on the MG forums. I've got these switches too, mega rare to find these! Still thinking about getting the heated elements fitted to DD, although she's never out during winter so probably just a mod for the future.

lol Tom loves chrome really, he can't fool me! lol
