Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Parcel Shelf plastic connector replacement
« Last post by jimbopolo85 on April 22, 2024, 10:26:16 AM »I am looking to replace the near and off side plastic parcel shelf parts as the plastic connectors have snapped off. I have no idea what they are called. can someone let me know:
What they are called?
can you replace just this part or is it apart of a larger piece of trim?
Picture is attached - 2018 Jazz 1.5

« Last post by Mr Onion on April 22, 2024, 10:20:33 AM »Thats exactly how I installed my dashcam
Things I could do without? Almost ever "extra" included in modern cars, specifically (but not limited to):-
Privacy glass (makes the rear view very dim)
Heated seats/wheel
Most "driver aids" especially lane departure warning and the like. If you NEED aids like this then you should consider if you are concentrating enough on your driving.
Pseudo buttons (impossible to use without taking your eyes off of the road)
Mobile phone integration (again, you should be driving not holding a potentially stressful conversation)
I could go on, but I'll shut up before you realise what an old fart I really am.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Considering Buying a Honda Jazz with a petrol engine and a manual geabox
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on April 22, 2024, 08:23:52 AM »If anyone doubts their physical ability to do the initial checks , you could try poking a smartphone in and taking some random flash photos, or even a video. I cant guarantee success but you might get lucky with a revealing shot in good focus . This evidence might also help you find a willing child to send up the chimney
Easiest way is to jack up car at rear (no need to remove wheel ), take gloved hand and feel for mud on top of the box section holding the filler pipe/filler assembly. This is is a grovel job on your knees so a kneeling pad and a light help. A jetwash will help but if the corrosion is bad, you may end up making holes....
I use a jetwash, then an ordinary hose, let it dry and smothered it all in wax oslution to keep it dry.

« Last post by Nicksey on April 22, 2024, 08:00:32 AM »Dashcams are a pain to wire as ideally they need the Option Connector to help hide the wiring
Using the fag socket with a wire draping up and across the dash is a big no no for me
Heated seats and steering wheel, never used them. Always found my body heat does a perfectly good job.
Why would you need to drape the wiring over the dash from the fag socket? It is easily threaded around and under the dash and trim, up into the roof liner. Apart from a couple of inches of wire from the fag socket going into the passenger footwell, everything else is hidden.

« Last post by Lord Voltermore on April 22, 2024, 07:58:21 AM »If you have an EX with standard rear passenger USB power points these are rated at 2 amps,which is normally more than enough to power a dashcam. (But best to check) I connect my FRONT dash cam (a Garmin mini 2) to one of these using the extra long usb lead that came in the box. (or you could buy a lead separately) It was long enough to hide behind trim etc for its entire length making it an unobtrusive semi permanent fixture. I only unplug it when entering countries where dashcams are illegal. I could probably connect a rear dashcam to the other rear socket in the same way but havnt done so.
Been using another car recently without reversing camera, and cross traffic monitoring , and its been a literal pain in the neck reversing out of parking spaces. I am reasonably flexible for an old codger ,and do supplement mirrors, cameras bleepers etc by physically turning my head, and torso for a better view but I did miss the added reassurance of gismos.

« Last post by Hicardo on April 21, 2024, 09:17:59 PM »We've all gone soft. Heated steering wheels and seats - love them, but surely in the category of luxury we can 'easily' live without. We all used to live without them. However we used to live without parking sensors and reverse cameras, but I'd find those a lot harder to give up!! The thing I'd really not like to be without now is adaptive cruise. Faux or real leather - absolutely couldn't care less - rather have nice cloth seats. As for auto-dimming rear view mirrors. I have NEVER found one that I think is any good on any car. Much prefer manual dimming mirrors. I know loads of people love them - each to their own!! Dash cams - like to try one. Currently have a camera recording sticker in the rear window which seems to work quite well, I guess cost / ease of fitting has put me off so far, but I will take the plunge soon

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Which suspension parts to Torque under load?
« Last post by c.lday44 on April 21, 2024, 09:13:35 PM »Hi all, Doing a few bits to my car soon and I wanted to know which suspension parts you'd generally torque under load (EG: Car on ground with weight on suspension)? I'm doing drop links and strut top mount bushes, I'll need to do ball joints at some point too.
I know rule of thumb is generally bushings get torqued under load, I've also heard anything that moves?
Thanks!

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Disc and tyre wear figures.
« Last post by Hicardo on April 21, 2024, 09:07:49 PM »Interesting. So a figure like <20% (using the less than sign) leaves us no idea how to translate into 'average' annual pad and disc wear. I've done almost 30K in nearly 3 years. Service booked in 2 weeks, so will be interesting to see what comes out in terms of brake wear. My old hybrid Toyota Auris from 2014 at 6 years old with a similar-ish year on year mileage as the Crosstar, was still on original front pads and discs.

I think we would all be interested to hear their response.
