Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Parcel Shelf plastic connector replacement

« Last post by Steve_M on Today at 09:27:48 AM »The part you are looking for is part of the side panel, so it would need replacing completely, so the sourcing of a used panel would be you cheapest route.
A new side panel will cost you in the region of £230

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Charging battery overnight
« Last post by GBH on Today at 09:11:16 AM »As Lord V points out, if the battery managed to turn the engine for 20 seconds and it then started, the battery would appear to be O.K.
I had to change my battery a few months after buying my (used) car and there was no problem with changing it over as I had a card with the radio code and the coding in the key does not need any input.
Have previously had battery problems with other cars and bought a simple plug-in voltage meter that goes into the cigarette lighter socket. This is easy to use and can be read from the driver's seat when running. They are cheap and readily available through the usual web-sites and are convenient to use as a quick check (or can be left in place without problem).

« Last post by Lord Voltermore on Today at 07:48:54 AM »I cant comment on any immobiliser problems if for instance you need to remove the battery to reach a 240v power socket.
What do you mean by taking 20 seconds to start? If battery was able to crank the starter reasonably powerfully for 20 seconds before the car started the problem may lie with the car, not the battery.
The resting voltage of a fully charged battery should be 12.6V . 12.41 Volts suggests its partly charged but might still be healthy. .
If you typically only do short journeys even a 40 minute run may not be enough to fully charge it. With the engine running you should be getting more like 14.4 volts.
I also had an asian made Original equipment battery (not Yuasa) that lasted more than 9 years.

No need to remove the battery.
I only replaced the original Yusa on my wife's Mk 2 Jazz last October when it was 9 yrs of age.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Charging battery overnight
« Last post by obtom on April 23, 2024, 10:47:41 PM »Hi All,
I’ve got a 3.5 year old Yuasa battery in my mk 2 jazz and for the first time since I put it in I had trouble starting the car (took like 20 seconds of cranking to get going).
If I took the battery out overnight to charge it will I run into problems with the immobiliser? I’ve got the code for the radio so that doesn’t bother me but I’ve got a couple of important trips coming up so don’t want to risk either a flat battery or an obstinate immobiliser!
We gave the car a 40 minute run 2 days ago, didn’t use it yesterday and the voltage reads 12.41 today which doesn’t seem amazing.
Many thanks!
Tom

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Knocking noise coming from gearbox under accelration
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on April 23, 2024, 09:00:06 PM »You could check engine mounts for any sign that hard rubber has deteriorated allowing too much engine/gearbox movement . Hard acceleration increases how much the engine /gearbox tries to twist on its mounts due to torque. But some movement is normal and it may take an experienced mechanic to judge whether there is a problem. Rubber bushes etc can deteriorate due to the age of the car ,not just kilometers driven.
In some cars excessive engine movement may result in the gear stick moving its position when you accelerate or stop accelerating.Either visibly or can be felt if you hold the stick .But this may not be present in all cases, and again a small amount of movement may be normal and acceptable.
This is only a suggestion. I am not a mechanic and have no prior experience of Jazz mechanical problems. There could be other causes such as drive shaft CV joints etc.
You could also try this check, which I have pasted from the internet
"To check for a worn outer CV joint, put the car in reverse, turn the steering wheel all the way to one side, and drive backward in a circle. Repeat the process by turning the steering wheel in the other direction. If you hear a pronounced clicking or snapping noise, an outer CV joint may be worn out. "

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Mk4 2021 Jazz Brake failure
« Last post by nomis on April 23, 2024, 07:50:53 PM »Nomis, will you mention this to the Honda dealer?
I think we would all be interested to hear their response.
I did mention it to my local Honda dealer who had a used Jazz in stock that I would have considered. He played the issue down and suggested extended warranty if I was concerned.
He was throwing in 12 months Honda warranty on a 4 year old car. Honda sell up to 3 years extended warranty on cars up to 8 years old, so if I purchased a 3 year warranty on the 5th and 8th anniversary then I'd be covered until the car was 11 years old. That would cost me £985 a pop at current prices, so around £330 a year which isn't bad.
Then the forum went down so I decided to wait and the car had sold by the time it was back up again.
