Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Halfords charging me £600 for a washer pump replacement??

My company car supplier used to use Halfords (Inchcape), no idea why, and Halfords made so many mistakes that often the car had to go to a franchised dealer to sort their mistakes

« Last post by McHonda on Today at 08:27:07 AM »Hi Joseph,
Please don't use Halfords for anything. In my experience they are cowboys.
Quick search reveals washer pumps from £8-£25 from various sellers on eBay/Autodoc etc. The £25 one is a Febi unit, a well known German manufacturer I've used for all my BMW's in the past.
I haven't looked at the job myself but it isn't difficult to whip off a wheel and arch liner to gain access if that's what's required.

so you need to chose CR-V and then the year 2026.
Then it takes yu to a page where you enter your car's ID and the database version you are running currently.
The latest map database version available at the moment of writing is: 2025.12.18

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Halfords charging me £600 for a washer pump replacement??
« Last post by Joseph on July 11, 2026, 06:49:15 PM »Hey everyone!
I got a used Honda Jazz Si 2014 1.4l manual a few months back, it's my first car and it's been a joy to drive.
Yesterday though, I ran into my first issue: the windscreen washer jets aren't working anymore. No engine pump sound, and seemingly the issue is not coming from the fuse, which is still fine (I tested it with the help of a friend).
I took it to halfords and they confirmed it wasn't the fuse, and it was most likely the motor in the pump that was dead and would need replacing. They're asking for £600!!
£300 for the pump, and £300 more for labour according to them.
Now this is my first garage bill aside from servicing, and it just seems insane. Is this just how it goes, or am I getting ripped off?
They claimed the reason the pump was £300 is because it's just how honda prices them and there's no aftermarket parts. They also said since they need to remove the wheel arch, it justifies the £300 labour cost. But after doing a bit of research it really doesn't seem like that crazy of a job, am I missing something? I'm phoning an independent garage tomorrow to see if they can give me a different price but I really hope I can get this fixed for cheaper because £600 is more than a quarter of the cost of the car itself when I got it :'(
Experienced Honda Jazz owners, what would you do in this situation? Am I just really underestimating how much repairs on a car cost in general? I've got no point of reference here so any advice is welcome.

So, you can still count yourself lucky.

« Last post by ione on July 11, 2026, 05:16:51 PM »
To come out of P you must press BOTH the foot brake and the trigger. If you dont press the footbrake the trigger button is locked. Presumably as a safety measure.
I also checked this and you are right.
Between B and D, apparently, as listed on the manual (check photo attached at post) you can go freely from B to D, but you should (or must?) press the trigger to go from D to B.
For the others, as you said, won´t check, too risky
I was just curious about how you perform and worried of making any harm to the car

« Last post by Sean Regan on July 11, 2026, 04:56:43 PM »I'm on my fourth Honda since 1996, a LSI Civic, 2 CRVs and a Crosstar.
The main dealers where I bought the first three cars, no longer sell Hondas.
The one where I bought the Crosstar a year and a half ago, devotes now more than half the space to "some Chinese 💄 with a funny name."
The Honda car display area is more like a store car park. The waiting area for customers is about ten feet square and the fee help yourself coffee machine has gone.

Problem still ongoing, will check this atm. I’ve gotten my hands on a thermal camera which is going to be the next test to check the fuses. Thank you all for the help so far!
