4k? ouch! Time to add gbox fluid to my list of jobs! I haven't yet jacked the e up yet - is there a rear central mounting jack point? This would make putting in 2 axel stands on the rear sill easier (otherwise, jacking at the front to place on the rear is less ideal). How much was the spoon kit? It ...

I have never performed additional 12v charging with the new battery (only when the car was flat on the old OEM Panasonic battery). I drive the car 5 times a week (2x 30minute commute + small lunch time excursions). I was pleasantly surprised that after my 2 week holiday, the new battery wasn't flat!...

I've done the Garmin USB update on the wifes civic twice and once on the e and didn't have an issue. I think it might be sensitive to the memory card and the filesystem. If you can, try differing memory cards or format techniques (beware that many amazon USB media are fake/unreliable). If that fails...

The oe battery is crap. I drop tested it to 10.5v at 2.25amps and it only gave me about 19ah instead of the 45ah rated. It was only 2 and bit years from registration, so perhaps 3 or 4 years old in total.

After a while using the Primacy 2 tyres (not the e version) i find them too hard for the E, and the ride is compromised. At first I didn't notice it too much, but after 12/24months the tyres harden up a little bit, and the ride is quite jittery. Next time I will go for some softer tyres just to get ...

I've had 0 problems since fitting the larger 65ah yuasa battery. Max voltage is over 13v (the car will not charge the 12v and bring this down during use) and the lowest after 2 weeks of sitting idle whilst on holiday (not plugged into the mains) was 12.41v so the car wasn't flat and I could get into...

It will be interesting to see if you observe the same charging cycles as I do. Since I never had the bm2 on the original/defunct battery, I don't have a 'normal' to compare to. The oversize battery in mine shouldn't affect it that much, but I think the move to the yuasa enhanced lead acid will show ...

Just to add, I recently went on holiday for 2 weeks, and was pleasantly surprised to find the e 12v wasn't flat when I got home. It was not plugged into the mains. When I unlocked / locked with the fob (to check if it was dead or not), I later checked the BM2 and noticed that this action initiated f...

The brake servo issue had a long thread on the Jazz forum, where several people had issues and charged up to 2 grand by dealers to replace, some got a part contribution from Honda UK, and there was a poor dealer experience or two, and a lot of detail on the Japan recall, and questions why we should...

I too use the auto lock/unlock , and rarely press any button - but I replaced one of the batteries after getting the warning one day. Perhaps they were just cheap cells or maybe I sat on it one day and it transmitted a lot...
