ACCESSORIES

[ninanina]

The only accessories I’ve purchased are:

Ice scraper/snow brush, digital tyre pressure gauge, small cordless tyre inflator, Gtechniq G6 Window Cleaner & two cloths, NOCO GB40 jumper starter and a 12v plugin digital voltmeter

Apart from the NOCO jump starter which is behind the drivers seat everything else is stored in the boot under the little cover so out of sight

Lord Voltermore: I'm also considering a spare wheel… But you also need a jack...

ninanina: NOCO GB40 is very good, I have it too.    I just don't know if it can withstand high temperatures in the summer and low temperatures in the winter, inside the car...?

I’ve had my NOCO for a couple of years and only charged it twice as it seems to hold its charge very well. Even when I charge it still shows 80+%

Luckily I’ve never had to use it in anger but it’s there just in case

I keep it behind the drivers seat rather than in the boot so if there’s a total power failure I can still get into the car but probably, due to the electric release, the boot would prove much more difficult to open

I guess I am in a different league  accessory wise.  Here are mine
1) bag for full sized spare wheel and shows basic boot matting  (about 10 euro a roll - cut to shape)

2) felt bag for odds and ends  ,usually lives on rear floor.  Plus handy gadget for reaching interior windscreen for cleaning without stretching.
   
3) I am not being facetious here. Its  where I keep snacks such as dried mango  while driving. 
 Currently a cardboard  container which originally  contained  filled totilla wraps from Aldi.  I would be grateful if anyone can suggest a more suitable permanent or disposable container that would fit  (such as a takeway coffee cup.). It needs to be dark in colour to reduce reflection on the side window and mirror.      

With regards to point 3, I use a neoprene beer/pop can holder whicl I cut down to the correct height and turned it inside out so as to see the black neoprene. I use it to store my polarised photochromic glasses for easy reach.
I also did the same for the two in the console to stop a small hand gel dispenser tapping the sides.

The only accessories we added to the otherwise completely standard Jazz EX is a dashcam (Viofo A119 V3) and (black! ) rubber floor mats (front and back) to park our possibly muddy wet shoes on.
Oh and the dealer had put a (also black!) rubber mat in the boot upon delivery.

Surprisingly useful Tailgate Strap  - (08L46TZA610) - supplied free on request.

Also have covered all bolt heads etc with black covers, just makes door openings a little less functional.

Boot light change to LED

I've got the official boot sill protectors https://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk/2020-jazz-hybrid-accessories/genuine-honda-jazz-hybrid-boot-sill-decoration-2020-onwards/ to protect against damage to the paintwork when getting heavier items into/out of the boot. I'm tempted by the ebay door sill protectors noted above.

Lord Voltermore: I'm also considering a spare wheel… But you also need a jack...

The commonly available scissor jacks are  quite long and difficult to stow. You CAN fit one in the compartment on the right side of the boot if you move the bottle of tyre sealant into the underfloor compartment.  Wrap  and secure the jack well  so it cannot rattle or move about.

But if you need to buy a jack a better choice may be a more compact design that fits within the spare wheel itself.  .10 -15 years ago Fiestas, Clio's etc ,etc came with a jack and tools in special inserts  within the wheel.    You may be able to buy a complete set ,still in its insert,   in good, or even unused condition  for less than the cost of buying a new jack.  Try Ebay or local car breakers yard and research  a variety of car models for more choice of something suitable.

You can find a new space-saver spare wheel, jack and spanner on eBay for around £160, or a second-hand full size wheel/tyre, jack and spanner, from about £50.

If you go down this route, don't trust the "mickey-mouse" spanner to get the nuts off.

Before I bought my Jazz in March, I'd had two CRVs over the space of 27 years. I changed a wheel several times, but never used the spanner supplied.  I always carried the right socket and the T-bar from my vintage socket set and a big ring spanner, to put on the end of it to increase the mechanical advantage. There's no way you can undo a wheel nut, tightened by a garage or tyre fitting outlet.

[stani]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the "spanner".
So you need: spare wheel + jack + spanner.

Lord Voltermore: Do you mean something like that?

And another question: if I have 15' wheels on my Jazz, what kind of spare wheel should I choose? Isn't 16' better?

[Lord Voltermore]

Yes, the  jack and tools   (although the wheel also  shown is a spacesaver)

If you have 15" wheels  a 15" spare is better.  16" wheels have lower profile  tyres .ie 185/55 R16  rather than 185/60/R15    (ie lower side walls) .  And its illegal to mix different tyre  and wheel sizes on the same axle.
(except specially marked emergency spacesavers)

a 16" wheel would probably  get you home in an emergency, but I see no advantage in choosing it as a spare.   

STOP PRESS !      I have just noticed that Honda UK web site now show the  Advance as having 185/60R16 tyres  ,the same as the Crosstar.  Which gives less choice in all season tyres. Maybe its a typo/mistake .    My 2024 advance has 185/55/R16 tyres.

I also have door lock covers. I was worried they would rub but they are fine.

And I also bought reflective stickers for the doors.

Jack & spare carried as photoes, plus Bosch impact for removal/refit (latter on low setting) and extending nut spanner for final tightening.

Bit extreme maybe for most but critical journeys to airport for holidays cannot suffer unnecessary delays plus life in countryside a bit remote for rapid assistance.

I don't use a wheel cover on my full size spare I place it inverted in the centre of the boot which gives me enough room for four shopping bags in the corners and space in the wheel for more bags

[Lord Voltermore]

I too carry a spare as I have a maybe irrational fear of taking a sidewall out on a pothole in the mountains of Transylvania, and sitting there surrounded by wild  bears  hoping a recovery agent will find me . (but maybe not the best place to change a wheel either )   It might be unavoidable for another mechanical breakdowns but at least I wont have the frustration of knowing I have a spare wheel sitting in the garage at home.    Also I can take my time to locate a replacement tyre of my choice,and not held to ransom over cost.   

Interesting to see a small trolley jack fits under the floor. My current one is large, very heavy, and must be at least 40 years old ..  I keep snowchains and a tow rope inside the spare wheel.
