Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Broken driver's seat adjuster
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on March 25, 2024, 09:01:54 AM »
If you compare the working seat mechanism with the faulty one it may be obvious where the problem lies.

The connecting mechanism  can sometimes be quite crude  , with simple rods etc. A rod may have popped out of its hole or some such, and it may even be possible to reconnect it without removing the seat.

A quick search on google shows about 3  'how to' videos on you tube for the Jazz/Fit.

If something has broken that looks beyond your skill to repair you may decide not to bother trying to remove the seat.
On the other hand if it needs repair it might help to remove the seat, or part of the mechanism, yourself  and take it  somewhere  to be repaired.  If they can see instantly it might only take 5 minutes to fix, maybe a quick blob with a  mig welder to fix a bracket  etc,  they may do it there and then, especially if you are paying cash. And its not only garages that might have the necessary skills.
 
 If they need to remove, investigate, fix, then replace the seats it becomes a whole new ball game in time,  labour costs and scheduling  in workshop  space.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: EV Battery life.

Regarding EV battery degradation it's generally thought that the batteries only degrade about 2% each year which is a lot less than originally estimated.
Am I right in thinking that 2% a year means in a 10 year old Mk4 this would reveal itself as  a 20%   reduction in its fuel consumption advantage  over an ICE Jazz ?    Instead of being lets say 10mpg better it will now only be 8 mpg better because it needs to use its ICE more often .Or is it more complex than that?   

TBH   I'd still opt for the silence, torque and  ease of the hybrid system even if there were no  fuel consumption  advantage.

A mirror on a stick is often a very useful tool for investigating nooks & crannies in cars.  I have found that loose change can sometimes drop down into the seat runners and jam the mechanism. The problem is then deciding how to get said coin out without turning the car upside down and shaking it.

I think the usual method of seat fixing is with a captive screw in the lower runner which is held in place with a nut underneath the floor, however I have not ventured underneath my Jazz yet so it may be that the runners are bolted from underneath to a welded nut in the seat runner.

I had a Samsung SD card in my previous (Blackvue) and now in my current (Garmin) dashcams

Bought directly from the Samsung site so that I know its not a fake. Never had a problem (but its time to reformat so I'll do that later today)

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Engine fans constantly on while A/C is on
« Last post by GBH on March 25, 2024, 07:49:39 AM »
When parked at the side of the road with a cold engine and the A/C turned on I can hear and see both fans switch in and out.

I'm sure that this also happens with a hot engine - will check later this morning after a drive.

Have just got back from a four mile run (mainly in traffic) so engine is now hot and both fans are switching in and out with A/C switched on.

The main issue with modern high quality dashcams is the SD card write speed

If your dashcam is HD or 2k then you ideally need a write speed of at least 50Mbps. A lot of these endurance cards aren't and they can cause a bottleneck which in turn can cause the dashcam to freeze

There is a free program called Speedout0.5 that tests SD card speeds, but you do need a PC USB3 port as USB2 isn't fast enough

Agree about the fakes.
I hope the place I've used a few times is "totally boney fido" (Victoria Wood??).
 I've been using Sandisk High Endurance from https://www.picstop.co.uk/dash-cam-memory.html?scroll=2303 , they send offer emails every now and then, prices are competitive I think, delivery has always been pretty prompt.
I have a couple of Viofo Mini 2 units, been faultless so far, I bought direct from https://www.picstop.co.uk/dash-cam-memory.html?scroll=2303 , they send from China in about a week, significant savings over buying from the .uk online store.
