  12 Plate GTC
Posted by: tribal_tiger - 11:th-Aug-2018, 12:41:41 - Forum: Lighting - Replies (4)

Hi,

I recently purchased a 12 plate GTC but have found that the headlights are terrible.

Before I found this site I had a look on a few sites, put in my number plate and used the info they said to buy new bulbs.

Well they all said to get H7 bulbs.  I've gone to fit them and they are the wrong type!  The bulbs currently fitted in mine are HIR2 LL (9012)

I've been having a look around but am having trouble finding what would be a decent replacement bulb for it to give me better vision at night.

I'm just looking for something that would be straight swap if possible.

Cheers

  Factory Options List
Posted by: 75chrisc - 8:th-Aug-2018, 18:24:49 - Forum: Request for information - Replies (10)

Hello everyone, so coming from the VW side of things my previous cars had a sticker with the Chassis Number, paint code, and three of four letter codes which listed the options the car had. This was separate from the VIN in the window and was located in the boot or on a rear wheel arch.

I am asking because (Long shot no1 coming) my Sports Tourer appears to have the glass in the rear compartment with the internal antenna for what I hope is DAB, but nothing connected.

So I was in the boot installing the space saver and inside the foam holder for the puncture repair pump was a few bits of broken glass. (Long shot no2) Could it be I might have all the gubbins behind the boot side trim and it was never reconnect?

Should I get a signal error if the DAB was not connected if I have it?


Thanks in advance.

Will try and find a VW sticker and attach later.

Hi everyone in this amazing forum, i would like to open this thread about how to change from my actual speedometer to a more recent one with bigger display and better inside light.

My car is a Astra 1.4 petrol and i already have the better speedometer for the same model as mine!
So anyone that could help adding information to solve and enlighten us all would be amazing!!


  DRL Bulbs Keeps Dying
Posted by: Brovakiin - 6:th-Aug-2018, 14:16:18 - Forum: Lighting - Replies (3)

Hi all,

I have been having an issue recently where my DRL's keep dying. I initially thought it was just the original bulbs but i have since replaced them in May and again in July. They don't go at the same time and i haven't noticed any other electrical issues. Does anyone know what might be causing it?

I have put i link to the bulbs that i am using, just in case that is of any use

Thanks in advance for the help!

Looking for a front bumper for a 5dr 2.0 cdti 2010 SRI with parking sensor holes, preferably in grey, will get the paint code soon as still to buy the car from the other half. I'll also be looking for the grills if anyone has them, if not I'll be buying the irmscher grill anyway most likely

Hey, just joined the forum. I drive a 2003 2.2 sri petrol vec C at the moment but will be retiring that and buying a 2010 Astra J very soon. Only issue is the J needs a new front bumper and grills as it introduced itself to a deer not too long ago :(
