Pleased to say it's working fine so it was the sticking catch on the tailgate closer mechanism: worth periodically greasing/lubricating

I have a 2004 executive too however mine is a diesel not sure about yours; must admit no issues with gearbox change its very short and precise and the engine is smooth throughout the range. Maybe a good service in particular not forgetting fuel and air filters and gearbox oil change I am new to...

Yes its not the tailgate switch but the closer switch; all well so far

My wife reckons its creating a borderline personality disorder in me :blink:; joking apart it has opened ok today and the catch I talked about appears firmly locked in position; maybe it wasn't locking before which allowed me to wiggle and lubricate it?? keep you posted

NB Just noticed that a silver latch at the bottom of the closer unit was very stiff: given it a good spray of silicone and it now is a lot freer: currently working The latch is at the bottom of sender unit near a white round thing; looks like the manual release but isn't who knows going for a...

Hi many thanks; mechanic has run the HDS test; will advise him of your comments accordingly

Thank you; having tested this am its either 4, 5 or the closer unit I wonder if diagnostics could detect a faulty wire otherwise its a bit of a nightmare to try and locate Will keep you posted; initial thoughts are to get replace the closer unit which is where diagnostics are pointing anyway

Works fine bleeps once opens and shuts: then sometimes the tailgate light will remain on the dash and nothing works no bleeps, nothing: only way then to get it going is a reset. Generally it's works fine for a few days then when I go to start the car the warning light is on: it never comes on...

Checked wiring all fine as far as I can see including the hinge area where it is held within a plastic trough; the boot played up a couple of years ago and Honda did a strip down test and found nothing amiss ( I can tell they did it due to a number of broken fixing / lining clips and £90...

Thanks will do my friend

Isn't the slope; has stopped again!

Hi I have a 7th gen Honda with the dreaded problem with failure Anyway Phoenix Honda in Manchester will sort it for me after ****ysing the error codes (I think its the locking mechanism or ecu) Anyway what I did see last night was an interesting article about the warranty extensions on cars...

Thanks Imran; also appears to be plastic cover near to battery obscuring n/s access; does that just unclip, maybe prise clips with a screwdriver?? again thanks in advance; apologies I am just learning my way around the car but I did manage to replace dipped beam bulbs thanks to the very good...

Quick query but in order to replace the high / main beam bulb on a 2004 Tourer does the rubber type cover to rear just pull off?? Don't want to force it: many thanks in advance

Really useful thank you: re changing the main / high beam can you advise re the removal of cover, do you just pull it off, also are the bulb replacements the same?
