You can change the battery yourself BUT you must keep the charge up to the system or you will lose the settings for your CVT transmission. You can do this by putting jump leads from your new battery...
B P Australia changed the standard fuel from 93 to 91. I noticed an immediate increase in my fuel consumption. My son was working at BP at the time and confirmed the change. I have tried the 95 and...
Be aware that when you change the battery YOU WILL LOSE the settings of the engine and the CTV gearbox if you DON'T keep the power up to the system.
My Honda dealer says that when the battery goes...

stylzjhn: It's best to change the auto fluid at 40k or 2 years. The manual is wrong when it says 80k. Also, if the battery goes flat, keep the power up during the change over, either by jumper leads...
GD1_NZ, get back to Honda after recording carefully your consumption. Fill the tank right up to the filler threads of the caps. Zero your trip metre. When the reserve light comes on you have about...
Don't buy the 1.3lt engine Jazz. My mate bought one for his wife after driving a 1.5lt for the last two years. The 1.3 does no better in city fuel consumption and wouldn't pull your hat off. He had...
What make and model of tyre have you got?
I have Yokohama Aspec tires. Tough and hard. Rough ride and 'just" holding the road. But 55,000km with about 1/3 still to go.
Not a popular tire but I had...
"So lets look at the example of an engine that is using higher octane fuel than it is designed for and that is therefore burning slower. All other things being equal, it will then make slightly LESS...
Thanks Claymore, I got that wrong, but why did the 98ron fuel change the feel of my '91 Diahatsu Applause 1600cc when I drove it to the eastern states of Australia? I used to run it dry and fill with...
I keep careful records of my fuel consumption, always filling to the neck of the screw cap.
Over the last 17,000kms I average 14.82 kms/litre
or 6.75 ltrs/100kms. As I wrote before, it takes a tank...
harrywing: HONMAZ is a Honda-Mazda specialist in Perth. They say the rear shoes do 150,00-200,000kms and the pads do 50-60,000kms under normal braking. Hoons can lower that to 30-40,000kms....
It should only take 1/2 hour to change pads. If you're at all mechanical it's pretty easy. Shops will charge you an hours labour at least. (Drive car onto hoist, raise hoist, remove front wheels,...

Don't trust a transmission specialist, they are in the business of fixing transmissions and your wallet!
Go to a reliable Honda specialist and have the transmission flushed and filled...
I certainly agree with Alpine on the cost benefit of sticking to the 91RON fuel, but when you try 98 RON you have to use a second tank as the computer takes about 1/2 tank to re-tune itself to the...
That shudder is the auto telling you it's past time for a change. 20,000 km is the best option doesn't lead to any contamination. ONLY use Honda cvt fluid, it's dearer but it works and it will cost a...
BP Ultimate is guaranteed to be 98RON other brands questionable. Shopper dockets don't include BP servos. Consumption is better on 98RON but BP's price makes it dearer per km traveled.
I keep a rigid log of my fuel consumption 2003 vti auto.
The fuel tank is under the front seat and holds 42 litres. The filler pipe from the rear holds 3 litres, so if you fill to the neck of the...
