Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Mk4 2021 Jazz Brake failure
« Last post by Dave T on Today at 04:23:16 PM »A question for the guys who have had the repair, have they simply replaced ‘like for like’ or is it a new modified part?
If it is the same part are you just looking at same potential scenario again a few years down the line…. I have failed to see a post with this, apologise if I have missed it.
I owned my 23 plated Jazz Advance few weeks now and love it. (Ex demo 1500 miles when bought) now done 3000 miles and in for first its first annual service next week. I have another two years Honda warranty but I will most likely buy extended warranty for another 3 years… making 6 years.. peace mind really. Not so much because of this issue, but other issues that may surface when you drive car designed like an Apple mac

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: 12V Battery after long stand still
« Last post by Botak on Today at 01:37:59 PM »The experience of Jazzik is a good cause for me, as the topic-starter, to share our last experience with a long stand still during winter (every time about 2 and a half months). I have already shared the data of the battery-charge of our Jazz in the first 2 years. I can add the figures of this year. For clarity, I give the data of the 3 years together:
2022: departure 12,8V return: 11,9V
2023: departure 12,6 V return:11,6V
2024: departure 12,5V return: 11,7V
Even considering the soft Dutch winters (certainly in a garage), the small 12V battery is quite sturdy. The charge of the battery is deteriorating, but very slowly. And did I first wonder if the battery could cope with one long standstill of 2 and a half months (and was already searching for a fitting EFB-battery for replacement) now my only concern is that I can get exactly the same battery when I have to change the battery in a couple of years.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Tyre deflation false alarms
« Last post by peteo48 on Today at 12:36:00 PM »When I had my Mk3 the false alarms drove me mad and, as others have said, they were triggered by Motorway driving. I did repeated recalibrations and, eventually, they went away.
I still feel the system is unfit for purpose. False alarms result in a lack of trust in the system so, when a genuine one comes along, you are tempted to ignore it.
The Mk4 does seem better in this regard.

« Last post by dayjavoo on Today at 12:28:34 PM »Specsavers did me a pair of proper prescription sunglasses for half price
They came out with a sample of colours I could have. I have used them a few times and they are good
I was persuaded by my optician to buy an expensive pair of prescription sun glasses. They are fine for looking through the windscreen on sunny days but I find them too dark to see the dashboard display comfortably.

« Last post by Daffodil on Today at 10:06:11 AM »My Honda was finally repaired after around 5 weeks and it was good to drive it again. Unlike some dealers on this forum mine have been very empathetic and supportive and therefore now I feel I should mention them by name - Hendy Honda - near Portsmouth - and all costs have also been met by Honda. However, I still await with interest for DVSA’s findings with Honda.
I also had my repaired car back this week - from Hendy Honda, Portsmouth. I agree with Cobb2 regarding empathy from HH. This Dealership has been supportive.
Last week I had a phone call from Honda UK agreeing to cover “the costs”, but it wasn’t until I spoke to HH Portsmouth that I was told that it was only parts not labour. I phoned Honda UK to say that there was no way I was paying any labour charges and was basically told they would only pay for the new part. I informed them that I knew they had already agreed to pay 100% of the cost for other “sufferers” and I would take this further. Honda UK asked me to prove it! I told them I could because the affected drivers were communicating with each other and sticking together. Honda UK said they would look in to it and asked which Dealership had my car.
I am laughing now because they phoned back very quickly to confirm they would cover all costs. Turns out they had phoned HH Portsmouth and must have discovered that they had indeed agreed to pay 100% of Cobb2’s expenses at exactly the same Dealership
In fact a post by Cobb2 on 28/3 mentioned that his Dealership already had a part on order for another customer - turns out that was me! So 6 weeks later I am very happy to have my car back at no cost.
For all those still waiting, keep the pressure on!
