Recently joined as I've bought a 2011 Insignia as a daily, and then found this place whilst investigating CD500 hack after finding out I need an original CD...

Hi all, has anyone got any recommendations for a tow bar for a 2011 GTC. Ideally a removable one. Do I need dedicated wiring or a generic kit? Any suggestions gratefully received.

im thinking of fitting a sub/amp, the main power wire needs to connect to the battery (+)
can any one tell me if there is any where in side the car I can connect to.

Looking at changing dip headlights (as seems popular) and came across these on offer at Amazon if anyone's interested.

Is there any existing diagram please? 


Many thanks !

I'm considering buying an Astra GTC and have found one that ticks most of the boxes, however I have just noticed that it is the 1.4 118 bhp model not the 138 bhp. What is the difference between the two engines? Is it physical or software? Could I still eventually achieve the same power output with tuning mods?

Hi Everyone

I could do with some advice to help with an issue that has just surfaced.

I started my Petrol GTC this morning (27/10/2018). The warning lights came on as normal and then all went our except for the Yellow Engine Warning Light. This light stayed on. The car seems fine to drive. It has done 13,010 miles, had a full service 4 months ago and has been sitting in the drive for the last 3 weeks doing nothing while I recover from an operation. The oil level is fine. I have checked and there doesn't appear to be any loose connections under the bonnet. 

The Owners Manual suggests a fault in the Emission Control System. I tried the pedal test but it appears that Vauxhall don't support this in the series K astras. Has anyone else come across this and, if so, can you tell me what the likely causes are. Is it possible that the cars emission system has been adversely affected by me not doing many miles recently ?

All ideas would be gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance,

Ed

Well I'm fed up. I fitted a set of LED headlight bulbs a while ago and have put up with the warning lights until today when I set out fitting the resistors I bought ages ago.

And lo and behold......................................still got warning lights 

Not sure whether to go down the HID route as there's no issue with start up delay on mains. The other halfs Giullietta has no issue with warning lights and has the same LEDs fitted as in mine!

Hi all, have been a member of another forum since getting my CDTi GTC SRi in January and have just stumbled across this much more model focused site so thought I'd join up.  The only mods I have done are LED DRLs and headlights, still have warning lights as haven't got around to fitting the resistors yet. Love the car for many reasons but have seen some really nicer ones since getting mine, strange how you only really start to notice your car on the road when you get one!!!

I'm needing advice, I am thinking of straight piping my car from the turbo back but im not sure wether to leave the cat in.
has anyone done this previously and does anyone have any videos of their astra straight piped?
