CR-V shopping by
Observer
Considering buying a new 2010 CR-V but so far what I read on the net
is about reviews or comments for the features. What I want to know is
the comments about the mechanics of them. Is there any mechanical /
electrical weaknesses or things I should be wary of if I buy one...
ie: timing belt or...

Looking at Some Used Hondas by
Elle
As the regulars here know, I have got a kick out of working
on my 1991 Civic over the years. But (1) it has rust around
the gills and I want to look sportier (I surrender to
vanity); (2) I think for the next several years I will
always fear that it has a major engine breakdown yada and I
will...

How to tell a genuine Honda Accord (05) Bumper from After market? by
Guest
I recently had an animal run into my car and it destroyed my bumper. I took my ride to the Honda dealer for repair and my insurance is Geico. I made sure that I requested an original OEM bumper. I was able to get an OEM on my windshield that cracked for no reason, so I want to make sure that the...

97 accord stick-no start? by
nick[_3_]
Problem just started this winter. On cold mornings
it won't start, won't click even. All accessories
work fine.
If I play with the clutch pedal, shake the shifter,
eventually it starts normally so the battery and
solenoid must be fine.
It's a 5 speed, so I am working on the assumption
that it has...

V vs H Rated Michellin's by
Dick[_1_]
It's time for some new shoes for my '03 Accord V-6. I know people on
this usenet group are not all that fond of the OEM Michellin Energy
MVX4 91V tires, but I have been happy with them. Good snow and wet
pavement performance, quiet and good mileage. That's good enough for
me. I buy my tires at...

Electric Spark noise from under dash when turning ignition key by
Pszemol
2004 Accord 2 door EX-L.
Is it normal that I hear some heavy electric sparking from some relay under
the dashboard when I turn the ignition key slower than normal?
I took it to the dealership today and they told me (without hearing, just
based on description) that that is normal and all hondas...

Bosch Platinum Plugs Vs. NGK by
Nino NoSpam
I just bought some Bosch Platinum plugs for my CR-V (2003) at a good price.
($13.58 CD for 4) I know the manual recommends NGK. Is it okay to put the
Bosch Platinum, or will I be disappointed? Also, when should plugs be
changed? (I have 48,000 KMs on it.)
Thank you,
Nino

Which Gasoline Grade is Best for Honda Hybrid 2005? by
SG
Hello!
I recently bought a Honda Civic Hybrid 2005 and its User Manual says
that "Gasoline Grade should be 86 or higher", which means any grade
above 86 which could be "Regular 87", or "Mid-Grade 89" or even
"Premium 93" can be used, as I understand. If I use "93 Grade
Gasoline", will it do any...

'97 Accord overheating bizarrely by
Dr. Joel M. Hoffman
Last week, my 1997 Accord started running very hot. After just a few
minutes, the temperature gage fluctuates wildly between about half-way
and the red zone. It will usually stay in one place for a minute or
two, and then settle on a different setting.
Is this a known problem? Does anyone have...

CR-V -versus- Rav 4 by
fish
I will be hoping to buy perhaps sometime next year.
Currently leaning towards the Rav 4.
Which is better, the Rav 4 or Honda's CR-V ?
Consumer Reports rates the CR-V better, but the Rav 4 is actually better,
according to Consumer Reports.
That's because CR highly recommends the CR-V even though...

Why do 2006 Honda radios have such crappy reception? by
Nobody
I drove 6 different Accord EX sedans (4cyl, cloth) and they all had the
same crappy reception of local FM stations. I had rented a Nissan
recently...no problems.
It almost seems like the station isn't quite locked on the frequency. I've
seen this with the CR-V EX's...maybe it's low-quality...

Civic Battery Dead by
Pat
A dead '95 Civic battery gave unusual results. Jumpering the battery allowed
it to idle the engine, but the moment I attempted to move it forward or in
reverse, the engine would stop. Its as though the battery was too weak to
muster enough energy to propel the car, but it could idle the car. Does...

2004 Accord - Cabin rattles by
Richard Hofer
I've got a 2004 Accord EX and I've been very happy with it except for
several "rattles" inside my cabin. Currently, the central console
rattles, the cover on the visor mirror rattles when the visor is down,
and the front passenger door has something going on as well. It's a
real symphony...
