Hey guys , new 1.6T GTC owner

Hello all,

I am planning to fit/install front sequential LED light strip which has the function of DRL & indicator signals. I need help or advise on how best to do this. Is it best to try and tap into the side panel indicator or the lower front indicator that is next to the fog light? 

Any help would be appreciated, I have experience in wiring other lights on the car but this is the first time I have looked at fitting a sequential LED light strip that needs to use the indicators as a additional function.

Hi All,

I have a 2013 Cascada and would like to fit the fully electric seats with coolers, does anyone know if this would be a straight fit or would I need extra wiring, modules and programming?

Hello! I've recently bought a 2014 Astra J Biturbo, it's only got the rear parking sensors, and therefor the distance is audible only. I am wondering what is involved in fitting front sensors, and having it programmed appropriately.

I have seen posts regarding retrofits, but can't seem to find one with info when you already have just the rears. 

Any information is appreciated, many thanks, Pedro

Probably been pushing it for too long, but 2017 1.4t gtc has developed a whine, starting July last year at around 30k. Increasly getting louder. 41k now.

Reading that the gearbox is the notorious M32 and is common issue. Generally the whine starts above 20mph and get louder with speed, no movement in gear stick, can be a bit stiff when cold.

Any recommendations to check this is the gearbox whining and not something else? Also any recommendations for a garage that understands the M32 issues around Manchester?

Cheers

Hi

I had new tyres fitted to the front on my 20inch standard wheels and there is a slight wobble at motorway speeds. I’ve had the front wheel alignment sorted and the wheel balancing checked by another garage and I also got the rears balanced but the wobble is still there. Any ideas? It was perfect prior to the new tyres being fitted. I was thinking of swapping the front and rear tyres to see if this helps

Hi mates,

I own a 2013 Astra OPC (VXR) which doesn't have many options but the other day i removed the front panel and radio so i can test the new Android 10 navi system.

During removal, i found a grey plug identical with the one that connects to ESP button and ECO button, but inserted into the right side of the panel where i only have blank buttons .
Here, on a fully equipped car we should have the lane departure button on the big button and TPMS button on the smaller button (same size as ESP button).

Didn't find much in TIS v32 because Astra J model ends at 2012 there, but my car also has high beam assist and it's equipped with a camera on the windshield. 

Given that the plug is already there, would there be any possibility to retrofit this ?

I checked for TPMS and i have the plugs in my rear fuse panel, this will be fairly easy to retrofit, could be that the plug is only for TPMS button on the dashboard ?

Thanks

Hello

I have a Astra J 2010 1.3 CDTI model. I would like to buy a fault code reader for this car. Do anyone know what works? I have done some googling and it seems that OP-COM and Launch creader 6001 works, but I am not sure. I would prefer to use the Launch creader as it seems much easier, with an Op-com you need to connect a computer, and I am mainly an apple guy. 

Can the Creader 6001 read SVS for a glow plug failure for example?

kind regards
Euro

hi everyone 
new to the site and finding how to post a question nearly made me buy a new ipad lol 
i am looking to firstly change my suspension on my astra j sri 1.7 i think aircraft landings are softer then these things lol.
i think i got 17 inch alloys i not had the car long and to be fair its been a nightmare so far as the spec dont match up to anything iv seen online. and custom wiring and left cut wires i found under trims ect.
but i want to change the suspension to a bit softer landing and if i didnt find out that sri are so low i thought i had broken springs lol.
in short can anyone help with what options i got to get softer suspension and higher up ? 
thanks for listening to me waffle on lol 
i may ask in another question if i can find a post question tab again on the mismatch interior of my sri/eco no button/stop/start ? what when i turn the key lol wonderful invention lol. leather interior not on any spec options on vauxhall 
thanks
