Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: How do I deactivate passenger airbag in 2016 honda jazz?
« Last post by Jocko on Today at 04:46:31 PM »If you read my post you will see that I said "if there is a keyhole in the dash............."Yes I did see that. What I intimated was that if there was not a keyhole in the dash there had to be a method somehow to disable it.
I then checked the manual, saw there was a keyhole and edited my post to add that information.

« Last post by jazzaro on Today at 02:21:36 PM »In this case, the new owner should look for the user manual as soon as possible. A car is not a vacuum cleaner, the driver must know WELL how it works, lights, climate, defog, airbags, safety features, manteinance...Manufacturers usually write and put a handbook in the car for this and other things to know.Not every used car comes with a manual. The last three cars I bought certainly didn't. I bought one for my Volvo and was able to download manuals for my Jazz and Skoda.
Honda is not an exception.
Honda has manuals here: https://www.honda.co.uk/cars/owners/manuals-and-guides/honda-owners-manuals.html free to download.

« Last post by BIGFELLAH on Today at 01:47:30 PM »I have put in E5 in my last few tanks. Costco 97 Octane mainly. Also some Shell and Tesco 99 Octane, coupled with 0w20 oil change, I'm averaging 64 on runs into Derbyshire and 60 to work and back. 9 miles A roads. Car is 68 with 50000 yesterday. Staying with E5. I put some E10 from Sainsbury in last year, christ !! Dropped 5mpg almost instantly!!
Interesting information thank you confirmation of E10 etc.
I have also tried Sainsbury’s E10 and also found that MPG dropped perceptibly so I am now on the E5 getting similar mpg as yourself
Solution confirmed

I said to my daughter tell me when you think my driving is getting unsafe.
She said don't worry Dad it's great at the moment but when it isn't I will !

« Last post by peteo48 on Today at 12:10:36 PM »I have always looked for an excuse to drive. Right from the day I passed my test and my Dad asked me to nip to the shops for some cigarettes. His nails were bitten down to the first knuckle when I returned with them with 40 more miles on the clock! I have been a bus driver, driven trucks and two stints at being a delivery driver around local garages. Now I hardly drive at all. I have nowhere I need to go. Sometimes I just get in the car and start it up for the fun of it.
That's relatable to me definitely. I occasionally go a rather circuitous route to the supermarket to enjoy the drive. I am over 3 years away from making any kind of decision and I might change my mind then if I'm still around that is!
I doubt whether I would lash out on another new car though. I'd almost certainly keep what I've got. It would see me out I feel.

Car Care & Detailing / Re: Scratch repair
« Last post by Danoh on Today at 11:46:56 AM »WOW! You are all so amazing!
Thank you Lord Voltermore, jaytee, and Mr Onion!!!
I know. You are all probably thinking why am I saving a few tens of pounds when caring for assets worth thousands!
I can't help it, I guess. In feeling pennies still matter.
Thank you once again!!!

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Front Brake Pads
« Last post by GBH on Today at 11:22:27 AM »I'm curious since I'm pretty bored of the snatchyness on mine. .
I'd say its worth stripping the calipers down and checking on the slider pins. Could be they are dry or even corroded and sticking - hence the snatchy feel during braking...
I would agree as, although my pins had grease on them, I gave them a good clean and re-grease which I believe made all the difference.
Points to note are:
1) The upper and lower guide pins are different in that one has a plain inner end, while the other has a "rubber/plastic" tip.
2) The anti-rattle shims that fit in the calipers at the ends of the pads are also slightly different between top and bottom.
I'm not sure if it is important which way round they should be fitted and I may have mixed mine up, but so far I haven't had any problems but, as the saying goes, "forewarned is forearmed".
