Hi Everyone, daft question can you use the tyre inflation compressor without the can of gunk connected

Does anyone know exactly where the horn is? I know somewhere in the engine bay but from a quick look i cant see it and i cant really be jumping in to get at it. Its just that the horn is shite! (2016 gtc)

Hi,

I thought some of you might like to see this interesting vid featuring one of the insurers we use to underwrite the club's car insurance scheme - ERS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP7Bvq2-uVU

Gumball 3000 organisers were looking for a specialist insurer to underwrite this year's event - a motor risk that includes Saudi princes, oligarchs and celebrities, driving prestige cars and imported vehicles worth over £30 million on a 3,000 mile journey through 10 countries. Most insurers ran a mile.

ERS got under the skin of one of the world's most unique motor risks to underwrite the Gumball 3000 rally. 

You'll see Chris Knott has partnered with insurers who, like us, know what they're doing when it comes to assessing motor risks, are proper car enthusiasts and take great effort to understand the needs of those they're covering.

ERS has long respected the work we're doing with car club members and will help us to win your business when you ask us to quote for your car at the next renewal.

Please give us a call in the mix when searching for quotes and we'll help you find the best insurance deal this year.

QUOTELINE: 0800 917 2274 - remember to mention this club/forum to access all the benefits.

best,

"I just wanted to send you a message to say many thanks to CK Insurance and Tabitha especially who dealt with my initial query and quotation. Today I have taken out my car insurance with yourselves and it was a nice experience all-round. Tabitha was professional and easy to speak to and answered all the questions I had relating to the cover. I'll definitely recommend others to try you for a quote. You saved me over £375 compared to my renewal quote with *******, and now a chance of F1 tickets! Superb." ZakR, BabyBMW forum

"Just saved £210 on my 9-5 and £167 on my 9-3 Many thanks Chris Knott." zagato, UKSaabs forum

"My last insurance wouldn't cover brake or suspension mods even though they would make the car handle better, but would insure exhaust and air intakes, which sort of add more performance. Anyway, I found Chris Knott were best for me. Club Sponsor." Dan France-Athayde, Hyundai Coupe Owners Club UK

"Just called up for a quote. Doing it all by phone is beautifully antiquated. However, there was a refreshing degree of honesty with the process. In my case they COULD match any sensible quote and were honest that if I wanted the bare minimum I might be able to get it marginally cheaper but highlighted the coverage differences. The breakdown cover similarly has some pretty good terms for the price. Waiting on my old insurer (£650 more expensive) to post out the paperwork." Cyber_hawk, Z4 Forum

"I have my 480 on classic car insurance through Chris Knott this year; a better package than the previous one I had through ****** **** (in particular the insurance company in question is UK based and well known, as against Gibraltar based and completely unknown to me) and significantly cheaper. And I was very impressed with the service!" dcw, Volvo Owners Club

Has anyone had it done and is it worth the money

Hi all new to here bought my first Astra 3monthd ago it's an Astra j 1.6 cdti ecoflex 136ps. The problem I am having is an intermittent loud rattleing noise on startup. It sounds like it's coming from the throttle body/egr area. Sometimes rattle clears after a few seconds sometimes stays if you turn the car off and restart the rattle is gone seems like something is sticking if that makes sense. I have no eml lights on. Also got an intermittent slight rough idle as well not shore if the problems are linked or not really hope someone could shed some light on this as it's starting make me wish I Neva moved to Vauxhall :(

Hi could any one give me the mic location pins in the navi 950 or are they the same as all the radios, my global tis only goes up to 2012
Thanks
John

Due to Sheppy's original thread for the S160 (M072) Android HU Installation getting off topic/polluted with Kotix ROM chatter, I thought it might be worthwhile setting up a separate thread for the Kotix ROM discussion.

For those not familiar with the Kotix ROM, it is a custom ROM for the S160 unit (Not just the M072 - M072 is the Astra J version of it) which provides some additional functionality and also overcomes some of the limitations of the standard ROM. 

The main benefits are:-

1. User data partition for apps/data can be increased from 1 Gig to 2 Gig, 4 Gig or 8 Gig. 
2. Root access to the device
3. 2 or 3 additional skins for the launcher including new skins for radio, music player, bluetooth etc. 
4. Some basic colour customisation for the music and radio apps. 

I might have forgotten 1 or 2 other benefits. 

The Kotix website is at :-

http://kotixworld.blogspot.ie/

The cost of the Kotix ROM is GBP 15 / EUR 20.

Since Oct/Nov 2016, the Kotix ROM requires an unlock code from the seller to stop unauthorised use of the ROM. 

I'll try and grab some of the Kotix questions posed in the other thread and add them to this thread if possible. 

Thanks

Hi all.

Not at the astra long and ive got a problem with my parking sensors.

My 2011 Astra SRI has factory fitted front and rear sensors.

The rears work fine but my fronts have stopped working.
I've tried doing the clinking test and none of the sensors click. Checked for fault codes using Opcom and non stored.

Any one got any suggestions ?

Been browsing this website for a bit now, and since I've got a few plans I figured it'd be cool to keep a progress log of whatever I'll do to the car. It's not an Astra like most of you guys drive, it's not a right-hand drive either and in fact it's not even a Vauxhall but I still hope I'm welcome


So that's her, exchanged my SEAT Leon MK1 for this 2009 Opel, a 09 plate equivalent if I'm not mistaken. Engine is a 2.0 CDTI as I drive a fair bit. 

Factory options are pretty okay, it's got DVD800 navi and bluetooth, park distance sensors front and rear. It's also lacking a few options that I want, so I'm looking into adding whatever's feasible

For now, plans include:
- getting proper wheels, gonna be looking for some 18"s once the current ones are used up
- remap; I'm close to the German border and supposedly they're pretty good at that stuff
- sound system upgrade; I've took most of the good stuff from the SEAT
- installing fog lights; I've got all the materials for it sourced
- replace the DVD800 with an android-capable unit; gonna build some custom electronics so DVD800 panel works

Looking to get a pressure washer that I can use snow foam with, don't want to spend a fortune £180-200 is about the limit for now.

Any recommendations on the pressure washer and the snow foam would be great.
