Off Topic (Non-Honda) / Re: Tyres over 10 years old
« Last post by nowster on November 04, 2026, 02:47:12 PM »I've had one full blowout (rear left went pop in lane 3 of the busy M56 at 70mph, back in 2005 in a Micra) and one near-miss (a bulge on the front left side wall thanks to a pothole in Kent snapping a few of the wires in the tyre wall on my present car in 2023).
TPMS caught the near-miss bulge, but we'd driven some distance between the pothole and it becoming a slow puncture, with many of those miles at motorway speeds.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Battery advice for low mileage driver

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015-2020 / Re: Climate control system swap?
« Last post by jazzaro on November 04, 2026, 01:45:40 PM »Hey all,The auto climate control works using an ECU and, in modern cars such as the Jazz, all ECUs are connected using the CAN BUS net.
just wondering, is it a straight forward swap if i were to order the dogital climate control display?
I have no idea what is happening internally, but curious if anyone has done any swap overs from the heating cooling system to the climate control system?
i’ve dropped an image with both. i have the top one.
has anyone successfully completed this job before? what did it involve?
Usually, the VIN is written in each ECU so you cannot easily swap one Jazz's ECU to another Jazz, you must erase old data and write the new set. The new VIN must be written also in a new spare ECU otherwise it won't work, better, the whole car won't work because the CAN BUS finds an "unknown device". So easily this won't be a plug&play job.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015-2020 / Re: Idle Start/Stop "Eliminator"
« Last post by AaronZedArt on November 04, 2026, 09:15:29 AM »Mines a Japanese import. Japan 2013 model, while more similar to UK's 2015 model.
I noticed a few days ago, that when I stop at the traffic lights, of course the idle stop kicks in, and that stops the heating, so yes, the fans blow, music plays, lights remain, but heating stops. If you are in traffic, it will get annoying once the freezing temperatures kick in. So thats another reason for me to consider the stop start eliminator. Ive started to manually switch it off now otherwise it'll take even longer to get a warm car.

On the passenger side just to the left of the rearview mirror housing and as high as possible

....and rear window camera?
