Here's a pic from last year's 3rd Annual Scrub to whet everyone's appetites

it does not come on with defogger. This seems that it should be up to the individuals preference- I have a 2003 CRV.
If you're in New England, we have another meet in Cooperstown, NY (baseball hall of fame). That's coming up on December 7th.
We're already planning next year's Honda SUV Olympics, as well.
I'm interested in learning more about the meet being held in Cooperstown 12-7. What exactly takes place? Is this for Honda CRVs only? Can any CRV owner attend?
I'm about 2 hours away!
Thanks
Are car/SUV covers any good for preserving paint?
Especially from bird droppings!
Which color is the most popular?
If you have lots of red clay in your area then disregard my comments.
This link will take you to the itinerary.
Thanks
How many 2WD LX versions will Honda make? Can I order one when I am ready to purchase?
Love the quaint, effette, psuedo-macho personna...LOL-)
Avoid black or other very dark colors, which shows swirls and dust/pollen easily.

Thanks for the plug Varmint

It stays clean, prevents corrosion, and prevents ice/slush from sticking to the inside of your rim and throwing the wheel off balance.
I'd use a cover to keep the tire from drying out and cracking.

My 'V is black and it looks clean for about 40 seconds after I'm done buffing it. I haven't washed it since before the drought restrictions went into place. Looks more hazy dark grey than black right now
As far as colors, we have:
white: bad, because dirt shows
dark green: bad, swirl marks and dust/pollen shows, salt from snow trucks also shows
light green metallic: good, hides everything

Hopefully a car cover will keep it safe from some environmental damage.
This time, whenever my CR-V leans towards the rear driver side, I hear a rough noise, somewhat of a croaking very repetitively and quickly.
This sometimes happens whenever a bump actually hits the rear driver side wheel. Accelerating up a hill or driving over a large mogul, at least there is pressure to the wheel, the noise arises.
I'm suspecting something loose in the suspension. It is difficult to reproduce to the dealership though. Any opinions? Thanks!
thanks.
Otherwise, I can tell you from personal experience that a RT4WD CR-V is pretty fun in the sand and the mud!
Second, if there's absolutely no way to get around a particular obstacle, you may want to risk going directly through it - just make sure you've always got a good tow strap in the back just in case Remember: no locking diffs or low range on the V
About 8-10 months ago, someone posted a link to plans for those "boots". IMHO, it's a waste of time, unless you show the car and need to keep it in pristine condition (or you're just a neat-freak). No offense, but there is no evidence to suggest that dirt in the engine bay leads to damage, rust, bad karma, or anything else.
As for the boots - I agree it's a waste of time myself. However, here are a couple of links to more discussion / info on rubber boots for the 2nd gen V's front wheel wells:
Link ONE
Link TWO
On an off road jaunt, just let someone else cross the water first! :-)
I went from 205/70R15 (CR-V sized) to 225/60R16 tires on my Forester, and those had great floatation on sand. No problem at all at the beach or in the Pine Barrens on sand/dirt.
Saw a big GMC pickup that got stuck - he hadn't aired down. 18psi was good for me. I drove by but stopped to offer help (LOL).

Does anybody have information about that ? Dealers are quite useless and I haven't been able to find a proper e-mail address for Honda either.
Thanks.
Kindly offer your thoughts.
Greetings from sunny Miami.
If that battery had been 4-5 years old, it would have been toast.

My suspicion is that MORE Canadian CR-Vs are built in UK than Japan, as is generally the case with US models.
Further complicating matters, the Candians have different specific content than either US bound, consumed in the UK or 'homeland bound' CR-Vs...
Good news -- though folks like to speculate on which are "better built" nobody has been able to find any meaningful statistics to suggest that the UK built CR-Vs are better or worse than the Japanese built units.
It feels like throttle or choke is holding the engine back and then finally releasing it in some sequence other than changing gears.
Ordinarily, I would say it's just my own clutch coordination, but I'm releasing my clutch the only smooth way I have found that works with this vehicle, which is very different from my 93 Suzuki. None of the other speeds or gears seem to choke this much. In any event, I am not holding in the clutch too long and I am fully releasing it each time I shift.
Have any other 5-spd drivers noticed this hesitation? If it is a throttle/choke problem, I know that it is not likely to be obvious to the dealer, so what are my options? Thanks.
Fuel injection does not require a choke.
My suspicion is "they all do that", so I would strongly recommend asking dealer if you could please test drive another.
If it does NOT seem that the tester is the same as yours, it might be something as simple as a loose spark plug wire or as messed up as the entire PCM.
Get is fixed under warranty, if there is indeed a problem.
Good Luck.
