Done a bit of digging and it would appear that there was a bulletin for Insignia seats
"Insignia 2009-2010 – All Engines
Seat Heating – Inoperative
Note: Only vehicles with leather or partial leather seats are affected.
Customer complains that driver seat heater stops after a few seconds. Trouble codes B2425/0D and B2430/0D may be set.
This is caused by insufficient routing of the seat heater wire from the seat cushion to the flange (design fault).
Improved seat heating mats with a new design have been introduced in production as of VIN W0LGT5EM5A1052930 (6th January 2010).
In case of customer complaint replace the seat heating mat with the improved version.
Spare Parts: Part No.Seat heating mat 20944820"
Not sure if this would be the same with the Astra but also it's weird how it always seems to be the drivers side that is faulty.
