Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
Hi All,
I just had a mot done today and it failed due to driver side rear the coil spring is broken.
Are they easy to change ? Do you buy them new or used from ebay ?
Where do you buy your parts from or do you use the local dealer like General traffic who sells car parts and consumable.
Do you need to change the one which is damaged or do you need to change the pair.
I very hardly drive the car and I and drive carefully and I am very surprised the coil spring is already broken, as the car has only done 38,000 miles and I got the car around 30,000miles. I never noticed when I am driving the car, that coil spring is broken.
Are they common problem in Astra 1.7cdti 2011 5 door.

I've been looking but not finding the name or part number for this part.
The thing i'm talking about is the plastic hinged cover for the boot lid latch.
Got the below picture of Google images. The part i'm talking about is on the bottem in the middle.
Mine broke off. One of the plastic hinges broke off. And I suspect the should be some sort of spring there aswell which I can't find (probably fell down that hole and is now lost).
If anyone knows where I can buy a replacement that would be nice.
As my new car is for a dog's benefit, I'm keen to fit some led flood lights into the boot door so that when it opens, the immediate area underneath & behind is lit up like blackpool.
I'm looking at fitting up to 72W of led here, never mind dual boot lights & interiors coming on too.
I'm still looking at the position and placement of the floods, this could be simply 2 banks either side @36w or 2 banks either side at 18W plus a further 2 seated differently to light up further out from the car.
And suggestions on where to hookup for power would be good, as well as points for boot open detection? These will also be switched, requiring a combo of open + switches to switch on/increase.
Looking at progressing my mods and I absolutely HATE the stock rear diffuser/bumper. I have had a few quotes to have it painted black but I do love the Limited Edition one. I can see them selling online for the same price as a respray and I'd prefer the LE one.
Can someone help find the right place to wire wireless transmiter of parking camera? I am attaching fuse box photo of mine if that can helps. I am thinking of finding free connection to ingition live there.
