Honda & Other Honda Models / Re: What's happening with Honda's breakdown assistance?
« Last post by NoelM on Today at 08:22:28 AM »What that refers to is the Honda app.
The original was “my Honda” which then changed to the “my Honda+” app.
The original no longer works and has been cancelled.
You still get the same level of service etc. you just have to phone up.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Tyre deflation false alarms
« Last post by doctormirabilis on Today at 08:15:55 AM »Exactly my experience as well. Same age vehicle too. I can almost clock it now. 80km or thereabouts, without stopping is where it starts blinking
I have a Mk 3 which is approaching five years old, and recently I've been getting a lot of false alarms or overzealous warnings from the tyre deflation indicator.
Very often it seems that as soon as I build up some speed on the motorway and the air in the tyres warms up, it triggers the indicator. I carry a pressure gauge and a pump, so it's usually no more than a minor inconvenience. Generally I find all four tyres are properly inflated anyway.
As I recently had a genuine puncture leading to full deflation of the tyre, I can't just ignore it and have to stop and check when convenient, but surely it's being very over-sensitive.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: MPG for those interested.
« Last post by doctormirabilis on Today at 08:12:16 AM »I have a low-mile 2019 Jazz, 1.3l. Getting 33ish mpg now, i.e. 7.1 liters per 100km. Significantly worse than last year which was 5.9-6 per 100km. Totally clueless as to why since driving style, distances etc are identical.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Honda fit hybrid spares
« Last post by olduser1 on Today at 06:25:33 AM »Majority of Fit imported commercially into UK are over 12yrs Ur 2009-11 MK2 's.
Most parts are interchangeable with Jazz however specific JDM Fit are built for home market.
If you find a car locally get the vin then use those details to cross ref spares available in UK.
Your main issue importing any Honda is mileage and service history issues. Never
think about buying without JVEC mileage
check as regards service then it's down to auction schedule and questions asked before starting the import process. Postage charges in past few years have risen from
overseas has killed the previous market. I know from attempts to import parts for my 34 yr old Subaru..overall take care but if you want a Fit go ahead after researching and checking with insurance quotes.

Honda & Other Honda Models / What's happening with Honda's breakdown assistance?
« Last post by ColinB on May 05, 2024, 09:05:51 PM »Just happened to look at the page on Honda's website detailed the complimentary breakdown assistance ...
https://www.honda.co.uk/cars/owners/breakdown-assistance.html
... and was slightly alarmed to read this:
"Please be aware that Honda Accident Assistance is currently unavailable. Therefore the current scope of services offered by Honda may differ from those displayed on the Honda website or communicated to you previously."
I don't have separate breakdown & recovery insurance on the understanding that the Honda product was available and gets renewed at every service. At the very least I would have expected to be informed about anything other than a very short service outage. Anyone know what's happening? Especially what the response might be if anyone contacts them after a breakdown or accident?

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Mk4 2021 Jazz Brake failure
« Last post by Jazzdriver on May 05, 2024, 08:49:29 PM »I had my passenger side door mirror replaced. (The dealer said they had replaced a few. I don't know if its always the passenger one.) The passenger windscreen washer started to squirt too low down. The dealer said it couldn't be adjusted, but they did something that fixed it.
The blank or cover for the towing eye came out a number of times. I haven't had it replaced. I have wedged it in, but it isn't flush, so I will ask them to replace it when I get it serviced in September. They should do it under warranty, as they have said they have had to replace a few when I mentioned it to them.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Newbie Jazz help!
« Last post by c.lday44 on May 05, 2024, 07:12:34 PM »The 7 speed button indicates you've bought a CVT Jazz. When you press the 7 speed button it basically gives you 7 simulated "gears" you can change between with the paddles, when it's off it's a normal CVT gearbox I believe. I'd be inclined to believe you have an issue with the gearbox if the judder disappears when it's in 7 speed mode (CVT's are notorious for failure and short lives on other cars, I'm not sure if the Jazz is the same - I believe I heard somethere where all mk1 Jazzes have some form of gearbox issues though, Manual or Auto!)
I doubt new fluid will fix it but could be worth a shot. Is there anything in the service history for gearbox oil? If it's never been serviced that could be why, depending on mileage.
Probably a 1.4 i-DSi CVT MK1 as the Mk1 Jazz has like... 6 configurations to choose from (1.2/1.4, Manual/CVT, SE/Sport)
Mk8 civic shares the same small L series engine so you probably know some things about it!

Off Topic (Non-Honda) / Re: sunglasses for driving
« Last post by pebbles on May 05, 2024, 07:06:45 PM »thanks guys, I think I'll just get a pair of non polarising flip ups to put on my normal prescription glasses.
A quick look online , it seems nearly all flip ups and clip ons for sale are polarised but I have found one seller who can supply non polarised. He says non polarised flip ups are becoming more popular with the increasing amount of displays in cars , boats , planes etc.
