During the winter, a break from wet to cold weather upset the CR-V, and I was left with a couple of engine warning lights that meant a trip to our local dealer, Lookers Honda in Bexleyheath.

A reset seemed to cure the problem without any clue as to what had brought on the electronic gremlin, and the trickiest part of the whole episode was the lengthy booking-in process that seemed to take longer than fixing the vehicle itself.

Also, a random symptom from the treatment was that when setting cruise control, the speed that appears now shows in kilometres per hour, rather than miles per hour. I’m going to have to root through the CR-V’s manual to find a cure.
