We have just had an air conditioning compressor fail on our 2008 CRV. It started as a ticking noise, and the local garage guy said he thought it was the air con compressor, and I was wondering whether its best to get a compressor from a breakers or buy a non-Honda new part. Then there was moisture on the inside of the side windows overnight, which I am thinking is air con related. There then comes an electrical issue where the information panel in the dashboard starts to flicker . . . . . its all going pear-shaped.
Long story short, we traded it in for a VW Tiguan, whilst we could still get a decent return on it.
