Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Road departure mitigation - is it rubbish?
« Last post by richardfrost on Today at 05:25:30 PM »I always turn it off every drive. Round where we live are lots of narrow lanes and it literally goes of pointlessly all the time. So for me, an annoyance, but one i can disable in about 8 seconds. Still, i would prefer just one straightforward button that i can turn it off with.
Renault and Dacia vehicles have that button.
I'm intrigued by the narrow lanes though. Do they have white lines at the edges that the RDMS is detecting? Where I live there are no white lines on our narrow lanes.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Honda To keep developing Hybrids?
« Last post by Jazzfan49 on Today at 03:04:23 PM »EV’s may well be ok if you have the means to charge at home, but I for one would not want to pay £0.90p per kilowatt when on a journey so I will stick with Hybrids for now, I’m so impressed with Honda Hybrids that I have just ordered a new HRV to replace my Jazz SR.
The high cost to charge away from home negates any advantage of owning an EV, so a Hybrid would be much cheaper to run if you regularly travel longer distances.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Heater core/matrix
« Last post by Tinker900 on Today at 01:42:53 PM »Hi
Has anyone either replaced the heater matrix themselves or had a garage do it.
Is it a DIYable job. I am quite handy?
Or garage how much did you pay
Thanks
Martyn

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Jazz Fit Hybrid
« Last post by Keekster71 on Today at 01:16:15 PM »Hi, I also own a Fit and I had to remove the instrument cluster after I got the car to remove a faulty KM to MPH chip converter. Its pretty easy. You need to lever up the surround to get to it, then remove a few screws. This video shows you how to do it, about 2 minutes in.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: New owner - 2013 GE - Advice on driveshaft dampers?
« Last post by Keekster71 on Today at 01:08:35 PM »Any benefit from spraying WD40to penetrate/protect between shaft and damper?I think a thin oil like WD40 would probably spray off. My preference is to paint it when the original coating fails, as it always does with time.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: New Rear Calipers unable to adjust handbrake.
« Last post by bill888 on Today at 11:03:59 AM »There is also a severe lip on the discs. Someone can correct me, but they could ruin your new pads?
You need new discs given you have gone to the trouble of fitting new pads and calipers imho.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: New Rear Calipers unable to adjust handbrake.
« Last post by bill888 on Today at 10:41:55 AM »How far were you able to pull the handbrake BEFORE you fitted the new calipers?
What make of calipers have you installed?
Inspect the cams to see if they move off the end stops when you pull the lever up. If the cams do not move then have you considered the old handbrake cable is severely stretched and require replacement?

I've always had to reuse the Honda OEM handbrake cable L bracket as it is longer (Bremtech, Axia and Febi were all shorter). I can't see how that would affect handbrake adjustment ?
Thinking about it, let's say the L bracket was 1 inch shorter than OEM bracket, would that mean the handbrake adjuster nut would need to be wound 1 inch to take up the slack in the cable? Perhaps this is your issue? I could be wrong as I'm getting a headache just thinking about it...
Once the handbrake is behaving, fwiw, this is the method I found that worked for me to adjusting the handbrake correctly. I can do this with rear of car not jacked up.
Pump the brake pedal several times.
Adjusted the handbrake cable tension with handbrake in Off position, such that the cam/levers are on verge of moving off their end stops. My Rear Left looks like it starts to move off the end stop first on close observation when handbrake is operated (eg. 1 or 2 clicks). 9-10 clicks to maximum handbrake travel using Arnold Schwarzenegger effort.... 4-7 clicks in normal use after fitting Febis for the remaining 3 months I owned the Jazz.
