I know there was a discussion on the FB page about these and I can't seem to find it, but just wanted to check are these definitely not legal for the UK?

  Changing steering wheel badge
Posted by: Kieran - 6:th-Nov-2016, 21:37:49 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (7)

Looking at swapping all the badges on my GTC to Opel badges (cleaner look imo) Im guessing the 2 badges on the bodywork are gonna be a pretty straight forward swap, havn't had a proper look yet, but for the steering wheel am I going to need a new wheel or airbag? 

Looking at the way the badge is set in wheel i'm assuming this is the only way round it, any of you guys swapped the badges over and have any info for me? Cheers


  Deactivate the windows opening from keys
Posted by: bruce_19 - 6:th-Nov-2016, 16:50:48 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (4)

Does anyone know how to deactive the windows opening from the key?

I have been through the options through the radio but I can't find it could be me being daft lol.

If some of you have Facebook you have seen my post about my windows being open all night and the footwells and seats being soaked.

I have now used a carpet cleaner and currently have the car running in the drive to help dry it out for tomorrow.


  ECM "Upgrade" Recall Causing Performance Issue?
Posted by: Black_Cat - 6:th-Nov-2016, 15:01:33 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (4)

Hi 

I had my 2013 Astra 2.0cdti in for service last week and was told it had a recall to "upgrade the cars software". I've since learned this is an upgrade to the ECM software.

Since the service it simply does not feel like the same car. I'm having to change down gears to get up hills I've driven everyday without the need previously for example. 

Does anyone know what is involved in this upgrade and if it could have altered my car's performance? I believe the upgrade may have something to do with emissions.

If not the only other thing that happened is the paperwork showed my car had actually received the 2012 1.7 service. The dealer said this is not an issue as the service (the 4th) is the same for both. Is this correct?

Thank you very much in advance for any advice/information given.


  Biturbo 20" alloys
Posted by: Kieran - 6:th-Nov-2016, 09:59:37 - Forum: Ebay Or Other Internet bargains - Replies (1)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/262675742...9850290371

Spotted these on ebay, seems like a pretty reasonable price to me considering the only other set I've seen recently were about £650 - £700 from germany.

Sadly they are right at the other end of the country and I don't tend to buy before I've checked things out and I think I'm gonna go for a set of non-vauxhall alloys to spice it up a bit.

The original price was £350 but he's since dropped them to £325, put an offer in of £300 and I'm pretty certain he would accept

Edit: Literally as this was posted he dropped the price to £300


  coolant issue
Posted by: Shorty S91 - 5:th-Nov-2016, 23:17:25 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (5)

Evening guys,

Ive been keeping an eye on my expansion tank for a while but yesterday I went to the the kids to nursery and was prompted with a low coolant level warning. So i checked to see where it was at and there was just under half when I always keep my tank topped up.  

I took the cap off and started the car to see if there was perhaps an air lock in the system. Ran the car for about 10 minutes and held it at 2000 rpm for about 2 minutes. The level returned to normal. 

Checked it again today and the level had dropped again. there is no staining around the water pump and I cant see any wet patches on the ground or in the engine bay. The car is not over heating and still runs smooth however I have noticed a small amount of bubbling coming through the return pipe back into the expansion tank. 
Any ideas???
