Any other Honda HR-V owners in here?

    Wondering if there are any other Honda HR-V owners in here. Or is it a rare breed?

    I'm looking for suggestions on finding used parts.

    Moved back to Ireland in January, bought a 2003 Honda HR-V. Seemed to be running well until 2-3 weeks ago the the air-conditioning belt snapped. Of course there was an underlying problem that caused that - the crankshaft pulley failed. Mechanic tried to source a used part, found a part from a Honda Civic 1.6L but not the same, then from another Honda HR-V but not the same either.

    A used part sells for about €50 whereas a new one from Honda will cost €450. I've tried calling salvage yards, using online searches but no luck so far. The only one I could find although from a Honda HR-V was from a different year and didn't fit. Unfortunately there is no part number to refer to.

    So any Honda HR-V owners out there who have gone through the same process to locate other parts? Is there a hidden nest of HR-Vs lurking in a salvage yard that I haven't found?

    I don't see many of these cars on the road. Were they maybe marketed as a yummy mummy car?
