Think I might start my own, as I've done a couple of things and of course have few things planned, but first Nedd to learn how to upload pics, preferably, via my smartphone

I recently bought an Astra Elite 1.6 which is now 10 months old (1st Registered December 2013), it only had 2,600 miles on the clock when purchased. The car drifts to the nearside and the steering wheel is off centre - slightly to right. It has been back to the dealership on x3 occasions and I am told the alignment is spot on. I am also told that as it is fitted with 18ins wheels (factory fitted) that is causing the problem - ALL Astra with 18ins or 19ins wheels drift to the nearside! I have contacted Vauxhall and one of its Technical men has examined/driven the car and he states there is not a problem, it 'drives as it should and as expected when leaving the factory'!! I would appreciate any advice or help regarding this matter please. In my opinion, a new'ish car should not be drifting to the nearside. Even on an adverse camber road (running down left to right) the car drifts to the nearside! Any assistance would be great. Many thanks!

Obviously, I am not happy with the situation and would welcome some advice from anyone who has experienced this problem please. A new'ish car like this should not, in my opinion, drift to the nearside. Any help would be appreciated.

My job this weekend is fitting these for the wife's mate in her Renault. Oh what joy two women pestering me.

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum but have been on the ***** for a year or so now. Joined this forum as I heard that there are a lot of good threads on here relating to some work I am wanting to carry out and a lot of helpful people too

I currently have ab Astra J 63 Plate energy and am looking to retrofit some fog lights among other things.

Plastic/rubber boot protector with removable carpet.

Rear door blinds

Glove box shelf

The Ashtray/coin pot.


Will be able to get pictures etc. they are all from my Dad's mobility car that will be going back in Feb. As these were all bought by us they aren't going back with the car.

THanks

John

Hi guys , hope someone have a clue on what happening with my car
Sometimes the cooling fan won't stop, and others it just blow for few seconds as i turn on the ignition, and sometimes it just work fine, also have a message ''Car service necessary'' pop out with the strange behavior of the Fan ???
the car is a 2012 1.6 turbo with just over 30000 miles on it.
Thanks for help

Hi guys, I have a chance of a VXR heated steering wheel off a 2014 Astra which I'm looking to install in my 2011 Astra 1.7 Elite.
Now unfortunately the airbag is missing so does anyone know if I can simply swap the airbag from my Elite into the VXR steering wheel?
Also can the heated part of the steering wheel be connected to work?
Thanks in advance.

Morning all, just found this forum after my timing belt snapped on my vectra. decided it was time to get something newer and more reliable, bought this 61 plate astra



I pic it up on Tuesday, no major plans for it but will look at upgrading all the bulbs
