Thanks all.

What's a permanent solution without having to leave headlights on during daytime?

Shall I buy a new battery and see how it goes? Anyone recommend a model and seller for the Jazz Mk1 2005?

With the amount of starts you are doing and the small battery on the Jazz ( no room for a bigger one ) no real answer....

Best value and super quick delivery,  look at same battery on Halfords will cost £90    HSB154 Silver

Thanks yea I was just in Halfords yesterday it was £89 for the 154  :o

Is this the same seller on Amazon? Price after postage is same.

On Amazon it appears you are buying direct from Yuasa ( they have a factory in South Wales IIRC )

I've got the battery so changing it now.

Is it normal for oil to run dry frequently for my usage? I seem to be topping up every month or 2.

Or is that a sign of something wrong?

No Honda I have ever had has used oil between oil changes, even when mileage was 190,000 miles...

Stop/  start short distance driving can be hard on oil though, and how many miles are you covering before oil needs topping up ?  Many makes of cars do burn up oil, but Honda is not one of them.

No, that's not normal to need to top up the oil regularly.
