Hi All,

So VX have just told me that my rear breaks are 80% worn and suggest that I get both the pads and discs changed....they said they know I won't be using them for the work so have no reason to try and rip me off so just wondering if people reckon that the discs really do need changing or is this generally not something that's required on a  car with 26k miles?

National tyres quoted me 256 quid for the whole lot of work, discs, pads and fitting.

Thanks

So just recently, well since last fill up which was the 9/05, I've set myself a driving challenge of driving as economical as I can.

When I last did this in my Focus it was OK, but nothing fantastic however the Astra has truly surprised me. I do a mixture of town and motorway mileage so thought this would be a good test.

To say I'm impressed with what I'm getting is an understatement, especially considering I drive the 2.0 165bhp!



So come on, get sharing!

So from the 8th June 2015 the paper counterpart of you driving licence will no longer be valid and it will not be issued from that date.

Had a lot of problems since the new site was launched and am posting in here as , some threads seem to be "broken" to me . I'm unable to reply to threads that I started and unable to post a new thread in the servicing section . .

Anyway , I had a problem with rough running in my car between 1700-2000rpm . It transpired that two injectors were gubbed and the cylinder head gasket had gone between nos 3and 4 cylinders possibly caused by the faulty injector. .

The cylinder head was also damaged , adjacent to the spot where the head gasket had burst . .

Anyone swapped their aerial for a stubby?

Looking for recommendations that still give good reception (not that the std one is that good in the first place!)

Hey Guys

Anyone know if it's possible to boost the amount of power going to the USB port? My phone charges sooooooo slowly via the USB.

Thanks

Hi guys 

So yesterday I drove from Norfolk to West Yorkshire ~150 miles and noticed that now my car is idling a bit odd, will idle fine then the revs drop a little & it almost chugs a bit, then goes back to normal and the car idles ok again, then the cycle starts again. It doesn't cut out and no warning light.

I thought it was just doing a regen but it did it yesterday afternoon, evening, and today both times I've driven it. Ive now done probably 40 miles with it like it (that I've noticed)

Could it still be a regen? Or EGR? Is there a blank for the EGR on these engines?

It's on 105k and is having a cambelt/waterpump on Wednesday so il ask them to look at it if needs be.

Cheers
Jordan
