tonedepear Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Swaps/offers welcome - see last post. Bit of gearbox noise in 1st I think. http://autoshite.com/topic/31587-anyone-want-a-jazz-2004-136k-mot-sept-offers/?p=1483272 Afternoon all. I've accidentally bought another mk7 civic, and 4 shit old hondas won't fit on my 3 car frontage, so I need to shift one and this is the one other people are most likely to want. It's a very good blue colour, does a rattle occasionally in first/second but it's not the gearbox bearing type noise **edit: it might be, although it's not the whiny one I've had experience of on civics, although from everything I've read the gearbox bearing thing doesn't actually matter, it just makes it sound a bit like a mini. Other than that it's basically spot on. Everything works ok and it's an eager little thing to chuck round town, it's also nicer on the motorway than either of my 1.6 Civics on account of its longer legs. It's on ebay, obv, but...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I hate these, but my Sister-in-law has had a53 plate one for about 6 years and has never serviced it. It only gets the oil checked when I notice it rattling when she visits- the thing is unkillable, she's had two lots of write off money when people have crashed into it, just keeps on going dents and all.Surprisingly spacious too, under the back seat took a 4 man tent and other camping shit a couple of years ago when she came to France with us, it even kept up on the Autoroutes.Still don't like it. warren t claim, tonedepear and HMC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Honda Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Tester likes his unnecessary advisories. Like the Ford Ka the front top mounts are conical, so they are supposed to slop around when unloaded, shouldn't even be an advisory. The brake pipe last 4 inches of the O/S/R - TADTS. Bit of clouding of the lenses TADTS too. tonedepear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonedepear Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Oh, I sanded/polished the headlamps the other day (and the accord ones, and the civic's) and they're very clear now. Forgot about that! Christ, I've not read the MOT history since I bought it, I forgot it's fuggin war and peace.

Dick Longbridge Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 We had a rental one of these around three years back when the missus' old Golf was written off by a Transit carrying eggs for a local ice-cream company. The broken egg juice was oozing out of the lower edge of the back doors at the accident scene.Anyway, the Jazz in question was a 'Sport' model. Never in my life have I found a stronger case of going to trade descriptions to argue misrepresentation. Sorry if this doesn't help. Good luck with the sale. cobblers and tonedepear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonedepear Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Guess what! That other Civic turned out to need a gearbox so I'm back on another train heading home and I don't really need to sell this anymore. Arsebags tho, cos I was really excited about the new one. Bloody hell. Also last minute train tickets are expensive. Ffs. I did at least get my money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen01 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 At least you got your money back, assume it was from a garage? tonedepear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonedepear Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Aye. Well, a gang with a portacabin. I got about 300 yards, turned round, explained the problem, took one of them out, they convinced me it was something not too sinister, I shrugged and set off again, got about 5 miles, decided I was definitely right, called them from a lay by, eventually explained to them what was wrong with a bit of background (IE, I already have one of these at home and I know what noises it makes), drove back, had an amicable enough chat, apologetically explaining that it was no use to me and much as I don't want to spend another 3 hours and £££ titting about with trains and I'm not trying to be awkward, but... and they counted out my pennies, took the V5 and key and we wished each other well. Which could definitely have gone worse. I don't think I've ever taken a car back anywhere ever under any circumstances before, I'd always just soldier on and suck it up, it was only £450ffs, but I reckon I'm out £70 for trains (the pre-booked one there was £9) and insurance fee, and much as I wish I'd stayed in bed and saved myself £70, I've saved myself whatever it would cost to get new* gearbox bearings or a gearbox (with labour, it's way beyond me) and I'm unusually content about it. Although I still wish I had a nice 3 door EP civic with a sunroof. AND it means I've got to do Durham and back twice this weekend in the Jazz cos the Accord sticky caliper has re-stuck itself within 5 mins of me filling it up with petrol. Ah well. *I filled the car up with petrol, not the caliper. **The car's petrol tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonedepear Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Anyone want this? Open to offers as that noise is probably the gearbox bearing thing. Couple of Vids on YouTube of it, not sure you'd notice it if you weren't listening, and supposedly they go on forever anyway, it's just a noise, but still. I was hoping for north of £500, as it owes me more than I'd like, but... Swaps/px welcome (anything with a sunroo/convertible considered) although I have barely any money so money your way for an interesting p/X will have to be small. FWIW it's been doing that noise for months and I did 700 miles in her last weekend up to durham and back twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
