« Last post by Itsfitting on Today at 01:30:11 AM »Hi. Did you end up sorting the language thing out? I’m about to buy a 2019 hybrid import and am wondering about the screen situation. Where did you see the English versions for sale. Cheers.

« Last post by nowster on March 22, 2023, 10:01:22 PM »That's part of the problem. You never know when terminals are going to be blocked by the eco nuts or other problems and fuel stations develop long queues and there you are on 1 or 2 bars with a week's commute ahead.
The big one was 2001. That one was the drivers themselves.

« Last post by Bristol_Crosstar on March 22, 2023, 09:11:59 PM »Good point about fob batteries.Mine went recently but the car did warn me that the battery was low before it would have expired. Putting a new one in was pretty simple.
On my Civics I changed mine at 3 years but with these keyless jobs that are presumably transmitting/recieving all the time, apart from the 2 button trick, how often should you change them to be safe ?
Don't want to get caught out with a dead fob.

« Last post by Lincolnshire Rambler on March 22, 2023, 08:08:00 PM »I bought the 5 service pack for my jazz for £649 which is cheaper than not paying in advance . I wouldn’t let a dealer put engine cleaner into my car nor any fuel tank additive. I only buy non supermarket petrol as I think it’s better and on my last Nissan car got 7 to 10% more per tank with shell ! If Honda don’t say it’s needed then don’t let your dealer . My dealer offered me new wiper blades at my first service but they were still ok . My wife’s Toyota gets a free battery swap at every service . (And you can see then do the service from behind the glass wall in the customer waiting area )Even on 5 year free to the customer every dealer still makes a profit . Many buy the oil in 45 gallon drums and oil and air filters are discounted massively to the dealers . Finance and servicing are the big profit centres for dealers - go study their annual company published accounts to see the figures..

May I as an ex Shell Retail person make the following comments.
Oil flush at 3k miles? they are having a laugh. All manufacturers dealers use fully synthetic oil these days. They all have a quoted 'life' of 10K miles! (but servicing demands 10k miles or 12 months.
Fuel additive to clean the system at 3k miles again they are having a laugh! At that mileage even if you use supermarket petrol (as I do, cos I'm a tightwad!
) your fuel system will be pristine. If you use Shell VPower, you would NEVER need a fuel cleaner!
Air con deodorant. OH PLEASE! this isn't a joke they are just taking the P!
Fob batteries...... Buy on EBay rather than pay dealers or high street prices. Duracell 2032 with free postage 99P!!!
