Hi to all,

has anyone fitted a reversing camera to their Sports tourer?
I bought one on amazon that was supposed to fit but it did not.
Any hints or links to a camera that will fit the license plate lighting slot?

Any help is appreciated!

Hello all,

does anyone have a solution for the almost unhearable indicator sound that the little extra speaker produces.

I put it right below the unit, right behind the cover and it still is barely audible when I'm listeining to music.

Is there a secret setting in the options? Has anyone replaced the speaker?

Any help is appreciated.

Given that I have a 2.0CDTI engine (A20DTH) and that last winter I had the low oil pressure light pop up for a second or so when starting the engine in the morning, I thought I should replace the O ring on the oil pickup from the sump. 

After taking the sump off and removing the O ring I did notice that it was stiff and brittle and I replaced it. Since the O ring was so brittle I decided to take a couple of bearings off and inspect them and the crank. I've uploaded some images.

Can someone please take a look at the images and based on the damage advise what I should do? Thanks!

Hello everyone. I'm a proud owner of a 2015 Opel Astra 1.6 CDTI (B16DTH) Sport+Style package Sedan from Tirkey. I was researching more info about GM's secure software VCI and AFL retrofitting, then I decided to register to share and learn many more things. 

Hi Guys
I would like to buy the Dash cam, but i very rarely used the car on weekdays and sometimes at weekend. So if i dont use the car as often, would it drain my car battery ?

I can not always park outside my house, so this is the disadvantage.

My car has been hit and run 3 times already and paid repairs of over £6,000 within 3 years and had to claim through my insurance.

Would this camera be good for me, even though i dont ride the car too much, as i used my bike a lot than the car, as i am just worried about the car battery being drained.

I dont want to buy something, where it depends on the car battery and it will just drain the car battery due to car does not get moved for days or sometime weeks.

If i do drive the car it will be 2 miles journey to work and back ,so total 4 miles, this is if i have to pick the Mrs up from Shopping due load of bags.

My car would get used at weekend , if the Mrs want to go out somewhere like 30-40 miles trip.

I was thinking of the below or you guys have used something may be cheaper Dashcam and being cost effective. This can be hard wired or plug into cigarette lighter. Fixed wiring i may have to get it done by a professional or if it straight forward, then i may be able to do it myself.

hi all , just fitted a navi 500 .....i had a cd400 in so needed to change wiring and also fitted the bluetooth module...all working but needs programming as comes up with thieft protection activated....on the radio....does anyone in yorkshire program them ....need help please

Hi, all. 

As i say, from sunny Glasgow. 

Recently, been needing to become a two car family, so traded our '16 Pug 2008 (as much as folks take the piss, ive never had a bad pug) in for a couple of Astra's. My better half opted for a newer model '17 plate, which she loves.

Myself, I'm picking mine up tomorrow night. '12 plate Astra sports tourer 1.7 cdti (125). So, here i am , mooching around to see what the score is with these, whats doable, whats not, what i can achieve myself, what ill need an expert for, and what i can get out of it. Only the second car I've owned that not shared, since '93 (MK 4 escort :-) ) so i get to do pretty much what i want, so long as i can still fit 5 dogs in the back of it.

So, gonna spend some time trawling the forum, getting to know the car etc, and then there may be a period of time of bombarding you all with questions and queries, then a few weeks of ominous silence as i break things to fix things :-) and explain how im skint cos "The guys on 'tinterweb thingy said its worth it, honey!" lol

I'll add a picture of said vehicle once i collect it 

Till then, cheers, I'm off to browse 

Howdy folks,

I was wondering if it's possible to get a navi 950 retrofitted in a 2013 car. 
It originally has a NAVI 900 (with bluetooth).

Would it need wiring changes?
I'm aware of the VCI codes required. I do own a MDI clone myself which hopefully will be able to program this.


Thank you in advance

Hi all so I have fitted the module and the bracket also fitted the aerial bit on the tailgate zr part.

Now I need to know what length wire and type of wire I need to for to the zr part.

And am I right in thinking there should be a double plug under the headlining for the fm and dab?

Many thanks

Had this problem for a while , it’s the 1.7 110 sports tourer .
Basically the revs move up and down at idle and vibrates , it’s like a weird heart beat but feels like it’s about to stall every time it drops
Anybody know why it does it , had full service couple month back but done it for ages
Many thanks
