Hey Guys,

I have a 1.7 diesel 62 plate GTC.

I recently had the SVS message on the screen and had it scanned and turns out to by cylinder 3 glow plug and cylinder pressure (see pic).

I consider myself very competent DIYer but never done glow plugs before and obviously I've read the horror stories. Just wanted to know if there are any specific tips , tools , advice I should consider before tackling this job?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I want to fit 15mm spacers as I tried to fit 5mm only to find the nuts would only turn 6 times to tighten and the bolts look way too short, don't want to change the bolt length I want the type that bolt on and the wheel bolts on to the spacer.

Question is will they fit ok and what are good ones to fit, I do have a space about nut deep on the inside of the wheel, anyone fitted them to these 19in BiTurbo wheels as they do seem wide and not much gap on the rear arch.

Hi, can anyone share a link to the cd500 to dvd800 patch for my11 on, I can find my09-10 no problem but not for the my11 onwards. I am willing to share links for the my09 -10 and for the navi600 to navi900 that I have found. Thanks

Hi All,

Much appreciated

Hi, can any one share the wiring diagram for the cd500 navi screen, I have retro fitted the cd500 in place of my cd400 and did the vin change via Abrites and it is working except for the screen, I have nothing on screen no back light or anything the stereo works fine now I can hear it and the buttons all work just no screen output. I would be grateful for any help anyone can spare. Thanks

Hello All,

At below video, I tried to explain how the remote start/stop system, that I bought and installed, works on my car.  Also, I tried to show how the kick sensing system on the tailgate lift. This kick sensing system has been done by myself.

BTW, the video is in Turkish, sorry for it in advance.

As a summary, the system package (Keyless entry and remote start/stop system) is compitable with Opel Astra J Mk6 models. It's just a plug&play system that I purchased from Aliexpress (product links are given at the buttom of the video).

Pleaase note that, my car is manual gearbox.

Hi
has anyone had any success with the universal auto fold mirror modules, I see lots on eBay and I wondered what people thought of them. I know rusty does the JN module but finding time to arrange to go to Bournemouth is proving to be some what difficult.

thanks

Hi All

Just a quick question if you could help me, I have a 2012 Opel Insignia with a standard CD300 Radio, I bought a CD500 Radio from a Vauxhall Insignia, the year is 2011 but I can't get it to work, the cable going into the back of the Radio control unit has only 3 wires in it and the Vauxhall had 8 wires, even the screen wont turn on. 

Do you think it is a waste of time trying to fit this or is there anything I can do to get it to work, I have a full CD500 radio there.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi, can anyone use remote SPS to change VIN number on my PDC module and then program module to the car? I want to retrofit PDC, but i need to change vin and then program it. I have MDI.
