I wonder if some people don't know what it is.
I tried it out. I always see people looking up, as if they are looking for the aliens landing.
Downright dangerous

« Last post by Lord Voltermore on May 25, 2024, 10:46:45 AM »PS. if you do buy a complete used tailgate and replace it yourself bear in mind that some breakers might sell the whole unit including glass, wiper motor etc , rather than spend time and money stripping it down to parts and trying to sell them separately .
But that doesnt mean you cant then strip down the old tailgate yourself and list individual parts on ebay.
You may get some of your money back.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Overheating lamp comes on on motorway driving or in heavy stop/start traffic
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on May 25, 2024, 10:26:35 AM »I dont know about the Mk2 Jazz but some cars are very susceptible to air locks unless the coolant is refilled in a specific way . It often has to be refilled VERY slowly, as a dribble rather than being glugged in.
These airlocks can be very persistent and prevent the coolant circulating freely. For instance at times the water pump may be trying to pump compressible air rather than a liquid.
Even if things seem to settle down again by itself its a good idea to get the system, and possible causes checked out by an expert . In the 'good old days' loss of coolant could cause the temperature gauge to go very high, then suddenly drop to a low reading. But far from being a good sign this meant the coolant levels had dropped so low the temperature gauge was no longer immersed in coolant and major engine damage was imminent.

Not long ago we were eating out in a town square. A car drove past in EV mode making the 'whirring' noise .
My wife commented on it being an electric vehicle. I pointed out it was a mk4 Jazz

« Last post by Lord Voltermore on May 25, 2024, 09:40:20 AM »There are also specialist 'used car part finder' websites.(do a google search) You enter the part you need (and can specify colour) .The service is free to buyers. With luck various car breakers around the country will respond with their price for the part including postage. With a more common car you may be spoiled for choice ,and some may be close enough to collect/inspect yourself . You can also pay using the sites own secure payment,just like ebay.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: New Head Unit/Infotainment
« Last post by jazzyb88 on May 25, 2024, 09:28:58 AM »The clock is always available on the RH side of the speedometer as normal & can be changed by the SW buttons. The new HU will display a clock in native Android, Android Auto or CarPlay so don't see any problem with that.
Just updated my post above to confirm the RH clock does change in sync with the Joying HU
