I have just installed a B5754 that I got from Icebox. Seemed to go ok except I can't get the radio control panel working. I have connected all the cables. The heater control and traction control button works OK. Steering wheel controls work OK
The only other strange thing is the Eco button lights up but is flickering.

Hello guys.
I am brand new to forum today so sorry if making mistakes.
I have vauxhall astra gtc and want to change the filter buy worry about a few things.
PROCESS:
1) Undo the bleed screw and drain out fuel
2) Remove filter cap using 36mm socket
3) Change filter and seal
4) Screw all back together.
Where I need help is:
1) Are you meant to have minimal diesel in your tank when doing this? Does the drain screw drain out the whole tank or just what's in the filter?
2) Starting the car - do you simple start the car or do you need to prime it first / fill up the tank with fresh fuel. As I worry about it not starting.
Thanks any help would be great.

| Slow coolant loss |

My 13 reg Astra 2.0 cdti auto tourer is losing coolant somewhere. I noticed the level in the expansion tank was low in September and topped it up. Then just last week I got in and had a low coolant warning on the dash. It took about 600ml to top it back up.
There are no obvious leaks to see without dismantling anything, and there's no mayonnaise inside the oil filler cap. The car's done about 59000 miles.
Does anyone have any ideas where to look, or any common faults that might cause this ?
Thanks.

Hi folks,
Im after some desperate urgent help please.
Our Astra J 2.0 CDTI 2011, has today developed, what I can only describe as, a distressed squeel/groan from the right hand side of the engine.
It sounds like its coming from around the alternator/cambelt area.
In addition, im also hearing a faint distant metallic rattle.
Can you please help?
Its intermittent but in the last few hours and after about a 10 mile drive its gradually gotten slightly louder and more frequent.
My fear is.... water pump.
Car has got 65k on the clock and FSH, but cambelt not been done yet, was on my list to do at Christmas.
Also has the DPF full message today, dont know if its linked or sheer coincidence.
Please can you offer some guidance?
Thanks,
G.

Astra 2011 SE Tourer
Checked in the dark btw
When I exit the car (i.e. open the door) the external lights do not come on (they used to up until Friday).
Whenever I pull the keys out of the ignition the lights turn off straight away. I have tried selecting all 3 timings in the configurations menu (no different)
The external lights do come on when I unlock he car using the key fob.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Alan
Found the answer myself - RTFM page 134. No idea why they stopped working in the 1st place and now I just need to get my key to remember the setting.

Hi ive just insalled a dab+ box to my m072.
However as I thought the glass aerial supplied is shocking.
So I want to fit a fm aerial converter from dab on wheels.
However it' not compatable with aerials with an amplifier.
So how can I bypass the amp and where will I find it??
Thanks
