Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Battery Booster/Powerbank
« Last post by Mr Onion on Today at 10:51:30 AM »The Booster I bought some 7 years ago has died (well, its not holding charge any more) so I am looking for a new one. The Ring RPPL200 looks good VFM @ ~£50 but has anyone else have alternative ideas?

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Sat Nav map update
« Last post by mitchelln on Today at 10:28:25 AM »Mine was updated free during my first service. I didn't even know it needed one, whenever I have used it previous to the update it was always spot on with directions and even did work arounds with roadworks.Did you have a loan car? If so, were you charged an administration fee for it and were liable for the first £200 of any damage?

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Time Zone Changing
« Last post by IvorJazz on Today at 10:21:58 AM »Hi. Sometimes usually after restarting a short while after a journey the ICE screen takes a long time to restart. I think it's maybe crashed and rebooting but eventually reappears and works as normal....except on some occasions the clock is an hour later than it should be. Going into time zone settings it has changed to Central European time zone. I remember on my earlier Jazzes, Mk 2 and 3 the ICE screen also rebooted and I think it has been well documented in the past but it looks to me that Honda haven't addressed this problem. Wondered if anyone else has come across this?

« Last post by Lord Voltermore on Today at 09:18:14 AM »If damage is constantly visible maybe glue a new sheet of fabric over the entire shelf ,Black/dark grey felt may be suitable, or you may find a more suitable closer match from an automotive retrimming specialist.
You may even find an automotive upholstery specialist on an industrial estate near you that can do the whole job for you cheaper than a replacement shelf. (or even the cost of buying material and spray glue to DIY)
If you want a used Honda original shelf try one of the many on line used parts search sites . Enter what you need on the site and breakers yards who are breaking a jazz, but havnt bothered listing its parcel shelf for sale, may contact you with their prices.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Rugged side slips
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on Today at 07:11:44 AM »If you mean the area below the doors, on the car itself ,its called the ' sill ' in English. I think Honda do apply a 'stone' chip' finish here from new. Its slightly soft and has a sort of bumpy 'orange peel' feel.
But you are right to be careful. People do spray on stone chip paint to hide rust problems. If you do a google search for " rusty sills on the Jazz'" you will find photographs of how the sill 'stone chip' normally looks from new.
If the doors themselves have been sprayed with stonechip I dont think this is normal (but check the google photographs) It may be a sign that someone has tried to hide rust and there may be more.
When looking at older cars its a good idea to carry a small magnet to see how well it sticks to areas that should be metal. And maybe a torch and a small mirror to help you look underneath etc.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Locking Problem
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on Today at 06:29:45 AM »I had enquired earlier at the reception there and was informed that not only had several other visitors reported the same issue but one of the receptionists herself often had the problem. The nearby buildings are simply farm buildings so no secret radar tracking equipment... unless they are making a good job of making it secret!Was the receptionists name Miss Moneypenny by any chance?
ps I forgot to ask the receptionist what make her car was but will do next time. If she has a Honda we might be onto something

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Rugged side slips
« Last post by sideslip on Today at 12:17:25 AM »Hey guys!
I'm looking to buy a used Honda Jazz. The first one I saw, year 2003, I noticed the side slips (not sure if the right term for them) looked and felt rugged all the way, like little bumps. Both sides looked like that, that's why I'm asking as it's an older car and I'm hoping to make a good purchase.
Just wishing to know if that is a normal characteristic of the car, or it's something I should look out for.
Thanks a bunch!
