Hi Everyone!
Club Jazz is fantastic - every query I had about my newly acquired Honda Jazz S (2005) I have been able to find it here. So I thought I better join. My dad knew Honda's like the back of his hand and I only wish I paid more attention when he was fixing them. I know the only tool you need to carry was a 10mm and 12mm wrench and there is always a way to take apart a car. The last car he rebuilt was a Honda NSX from a salvage yard in California. Sadly he passed away from lung cancer several years ago (but he put in some good innings) and I only hope the car went to someone who would enjoy the rebuilt NSX and not part it out. God did it have a terrific engine in it. So i've got this little beat up Mk 1 Honda Jazz as a little run around due to changes in cars with the government come April. The cost of the repair of my VW diesel seemed to be a waste and put it towards this Jazz that had some sort of grounded wire draining the battery although I suspected the ignition as it wouldn't lock the key (perhaps hot-wired in it's previous life) and the door no longer locked (read on the forum that it is a common problem.) I found an ignition and driver door lock spares with 2 matching key and as I had expected, the battery drain problem went away with the faulting ignition barrel lock. Not sure how long the driver door lock will last but it's working now. I just hope I can enjoy reading what sorts of problems and solutions my fellow Jazz owners encounter or share mine and be a part of this wonderful Honda Jazz community. So it's a big HI from CarolO!
