Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Knocking noise coming from gearbox under accelration
« Last post by jthorpvoodoo on Today at 12:00:23 PM »The noise got to be bad enough to where I was thinking that a catastrophic failure would have happened if I kept driving it.
Initially I could barely hear the problem in only 1st and 2nd gear, but as the noise got louder, at some point I felt that it was "bad enough" and unsafe, and therefore needed to fix it.
The place I went to took my old gearbox and supplied another reconditioned gearbox, so I wasn't able to open the old gearbox up and see what the actual specific issue was.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Buying Advice - Jazz Advance
« Last post by Jazzik on Today at 11:30:05 AM »Now I’ve read of the following problems with the Mk4 Jazz:
Brake failure
Door mirror motors failing
Seat base sides cracking
Delaminating windscreens
I’m really going off the idea of buying a brand new one as these failures are on cars that can’t be any older than 4 years and most seem to have low mileage
In all fairness: Your list above shows the accumulated failures reported by a multitude of forum members.
This doesn't necessarily mean, that every Jazz is bound to experience all of these.
Positive example: Our 2021 Jazz EX experienced none of these failures and is performing flawlessly(so far). I wonder how many forum members here can say the same.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Seeking Guidance for Dashcam Hardwiring and Installation
« Last post by Karoq on Today at 11:14:36 AM »Bear in mind DashCams run on FIVE VOLTS! !2V into 5V doesn't go!! (not for long anyway) I 'fried' two dashcams before realising that. It took a few weeks, but it happens.
So make sure you get a voltage dropper (EBay)
I haven't hard wired a Dashcam on any of my Hondas and can pass no comment on the connector mentioned.
On my Skodas I used a piggy back fuse connector on the rear wiper* circuit as I wanted it to switch off when engine not running if you buy a camera with a battery it will usually wake up and lock a clip if the car is impacted. On my 'TOGUARD' you can adjust the impact level.
I use https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403970638552
The picture quality is amazing. No GPS so no speed, apart from that it is brilliant. The second Toguard camera I have had. They are excellent value.
I couldn't be bothered with wiring a separate rear cam, so opted for the internal which does at least give you a bit of rear protection.
* cars (all modern ones) fitted with 'Canbus' electrickery can be very picky about being interfered with, so Kremmen's warning is valid. That Is why I chose the rear wiper, as it spends most of the time not working. I never had any problems so doing.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Steering wheel shenanigans
« Last post by c.lday44 on Today at 10:23:11 AM »Hi all. I have a 2007 SE Manual with the plastic-y steering wheel - I'd like to switch to the nicer leather steering wheel but I only ever find them with the 7 speed button and paddles of an automatic. Is it possible to take apart the steering wheels and put the silver plastic piece, buttons, etc from my old wheel into the frame of the new leather one, or is it not removable?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Left mirror blocked
« Last post by Yusaku79 on Today at 09:22:28 AM »Hi everyone,
I reported this issue to my service during my the last visit there, they told me that it's an issue recognized by Honda and they have planned a date to change the motor part that close the mirror.
I hope that this info could be useful for others.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Bonnet sensor
« Last post by GBH on Today at 08:55:05 AM »Do you mean a sensor that warns that the bonnet is not fully latched closed?
I wasn't aware that these cars had such sophistication. Mine is one of the higher specifications and I cannot find it mentioned in the owner's handbook.

« Last post by Bristol_Crosstar on Today at 08:28:18 AM »The actual cars will last almost as long as you want if they're looked after, the problem is that spare parts on modern cars are so expensive that if they go wrong there will come a point where the repair can't be justified against the value of the vehicle.

I'm amazed that 8G 2006 Civics are still selling and from the pictures are still in very good condition and they are 18 years old
