Help.....I recently bought an Astra 62 reg (cat D) looked perfect but noticed it had the early front bumper. Mine is a facelift so got a facelift bumper and tried to fit. All seems ok execpt the sides do not clip in at the wings. I went to the dealer and found the support brackets fitted on the car are fo the early type bumper. The dealership say the wings are the same but are unable to give me part numbers for the later supports. Can anybody help? part numbers or photos anything pls

Bike carrier,

Kids want me to take them to the forest with their bikes when I take the dog.

So was thinking of getting this

What do you chaps think?

So chaps what will get rid of this?





Last year was the first time I ever compounded polished and waxed a car (hell it's my first and only NEW car).

I didn't think about putting masking tape over the trim (this year I've got frog tape).

I am using the trim restorer which it only hides it until I wash it again I want it gone for good.

I've had my 1.7cdti over 3 years now and never encountered this problem up to this morning, but white smoke was being omitted from my exhaust (not at high revs) which the most awful burning smell similar to the DPF burning-off smell. I stopped the car with the engine running and it carried on smoking for a minute before I decided to continue my journey to Bradford and back to which it didn't happen again. Prior to the exhaust smoking, the engine had been running for around 20-25 minutes. Any suggestions and also has anyone else had this?

Got my unused wheel for sale, 5x115 for £75 collected.

Courier extra if needed.

On ebay 261460311963

I think the astra j/GTC should be separated to:
Astra j
Astra GTC/ VXR

Would make it a bit better structured?

How about a run what ya brung meet at the santapod drag strip
Saturday august the 9th 2014 Run What Ya Brung (RWYB) - Public Track Day

cheep day out £10 entry and £25 if you want a run down the strip.
and plenty of parking for a nice get together and some nice pictures etc

we could have a prize for the fastest J GTC and VXR
and if you do not wish to run down the strip then it will be fun to view
we even could have a prize for best show car in each category

it could be a good day out for the north meets south meet
so looking for anyone interested in coming along.

i will get a bit more info on bookings etc in the next few weeks and update as i get the info

I have access to the latest edition of EPC, which includes 5dr, 3dr and VXR. I've also got a trade club account so have access to the Trade Club online book for any prices of parts members are after.

If anyone is after a part number or prices please ask here and add as much info as possible

Model
Year
Engine
Part Req'd

Just remembered could you also add the first 2 digits of your chassis number eg
A3,A8,AG
B3,B8,BG
C0,C1,C3,C8,CG
D0,D1,D3,D8,DG

I will try and help as best I can but not every part is available via trade club or hasn't been added like the GTC and VXR specific parts. I have sent an enquiry to Trade Club as to when these will be added.

As I'm not an official trader I can't purchase items for members as this is against the forum rules.
