I wonder how that translates to this obvious manufacturing fault

https://www.youngeroptics.com.au/did-you-know/why-do-some-screens-look-weird-through-polarized-sunglasses/#:~:text=This%20phenomenon%20occurs%20because%20the,or%20dark%20screen%20or%20display.
Rubbish. Been using polarised clip-ons for 30 years or more. I think that link is referring to very old toughened windscreens, you certainly don’t get that effect with modern laminated glass. And the comments about device screens refers to lcd displays, not modern led screens (as the final sentence acknowledges).
Just because someone’s written something on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true!
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I forgot to mention I actually had a pair. I looked into my 2009 Seat Ibiza's stereo display and it looked as though the screen has been damaged! So I switched it off and on again but display was same. Later I put my normal glasses on and looked at it and all the distortion was gone!
A week later I went to McDonald's and forgot to take my polarised sun glasses off. The whole self service screen was distorted! I popped into my local boots opticians and the Optometrist told me polarised lens can distort display.
I can't comment on the LED screen because I didn't get to experience it on modern cars. Also my sunglasses had the polarised lens fitted, and weren't clip ons. As for the article, it was a point of reference so I can't assess it through a professional capacity. But as you mentioned looking out off the windscreen, the polarised lens worked well as any sunglasses I have had previously. Infact my friends who love fishing swears by them.

That's for sure the "Gold" version!

« Last post by Jinbeizame on May 03, 2024, 10:03:05 PM »As far as I hear from Japan, Honda has switched the component manufacturer from Keisan (京三製作所）to somebody else. So, no repeat of the same problem, I guess. BTW, Stoneacre has quoted a staggering £2,021.63 (w/VAT or W/O I don't know) for the replacement Simulator before labour.
If it is the same part are you just looking at same potential scenario again a few years down the line…. I have failed to see a post with this, apologise if I have missed it.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Jazz / Crosstar Warranty AGAIN
« Last post by Hicardo on May 03, 2024, 09:36:25 PM »Ah, you see this is what's confusing on the Honda website.
According to the link already posted above for the Five SERVICE plan, you can Upgrade your FIVE Service Plan to our full Customer Care Package for just £399. This includes a Two Year Extended Guarantee, plus Hondacare Assistance, giving you full peace of mind for the next five years.
I think this clears up the fact that this offer is at point of sale, ie not available to me to purchase in year 3 of ownership.

« Last post by coldstart on May 03, 2024, 08:19:59 PM »My understanding is you can extend the normal 3-year-warranty at any time (within the first 3 years) to the extended 5-year-warranty.
The warranty is not included in the five-year-service-plan!

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Tyre deflation false alarms
« Last post by Peter5145 on May 03, 2024, 08:12:13 PM »Anyway, later today I'm making a trip of about 30 miles along mixed roads, so I'll initialise it before I start and see if that makes a difference.
Success! Did a 66-mile round trip on a mix of motorway, rural and urban roads and the warning didn't come on. Hopefully the car will have learned the lesson!

So it sounds like today if you purchase a FIVE Service Plan, you are able to extend the warranty to 5 years for 399 pounds.
It's not clear to me from that website link whether this applies to FIVE Service plans that were purchased today, 6 months ago, or as in my case 2 years and 11 months ago?

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Fuse Boxes Information.
« Last post by coldstart on May 03, 2024, 08:08:43 PM »Manufacturers these days dont want owners to be able to change oil bulbs etc why would they help you ID the fuses.
I would look at the design of the F box on ealier years then attempt top match the layout.
I have been motoring now for 45 years (I know, I'm still a "youngster")
and have owned various brands of cars.Over all these years I never had a blown fuse that wasn't due to my own tampering with the car.
My take on blown fuses is this:
- if I have tampered with the car, I know exactly what to look for
- if I have NOT tampered with the car, I will have a professional look over the car because there must be something amiss (otherwise the fuse wouldn't have blown in the first place, would it?)
Regarding bulbs: As more and more of the car's light bulbs are now LEDs which are supposed to last a "lifetime" there is less and less of owner-replacable light bulbs.
On my MY24 Advance only the rear indicatiors, the trunk lightning and some of the interiour lights (vanitiy mirror lightning e.g.) are "real" bulbs.
And: The replacement of those - to my recollection - is clearly outlined in the manual.
