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?
See cam position photos posted here:

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:
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.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015-2020 / Re: Any Other cars Like Mk3 Jazz - Cheap To Run ,Practical & SUPER Reliable?
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on Today at 09:36:58 AM »I liked my Yaris, but that was a 1.4 diesel, with very good torque and performance . I hired a petrol Yaris on holiday (1.0 probably) and didnt like it at all. While Yaris and Jazz are direct competitors the Yaris is significantly smaller inside, and you might want to go up a size. 2robbie2's recommendations are good ones.
I took the following photo from the back of an open Maruti built Suzuki gypsy, which is similar in size and mechanically to a Jimny . The bar in the bottom left corner is the vehicles roll bar.
It brings a new perspective to the need for reliability. 
My only reservation is the Jimny may not be ideal for high speed use on normal UK roads. I also travelled as passenger many miles in a Suzuki Swift on normal Indian roads(which vary from surprisingly good to absolutely dreadful) This could also be a possible contender. Appeared quite solid but maybe a bit spartan on the interior. (but may be better on UK spec cars) Locally built Suzuki and Toyota are very common in India. You dont often see a Honda car . .

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Suspension lower arms cost, brands advise
« Last post by jasonevans on Today at 09:24:56 AM »I've used Ridex on rear caliper for my old MK1 Jazz and quality seemed fine ( changed about 3 years ago ) . Febi are a better brand but both are ok. Might be worth paying a bit more for Febi parts.

It was a great idea, I hadn't thought of that.
