When driving it seems fine, but on the dual carriage way the other day going down to 50mph for road works uphill, then when back 70mph (still uphill) the car wasn't going anywhere, had to drop to 3rd to move it off 50ish mph.

Yesterday I was pulling off the dual carriage way and say 2nd or 3rd gear, foot down, again slightish hill, car was really slow.

When idling this morning, the revs seem ok on dash but sounded low.

There is no EML light on, plugged in and no codes whatsoever.

Can anybody shed some light on what this may be??]]> Hey, I have a 1.4 Turbo GTC 2015.

I bought leather seats from Ebay. I mounted them in the car but I do not have any wiring for lumber support or for seat heating. There is no fuse box in the boot, HVAC control module doesn't have buttons for electric seats as well. Connecting the lumber support seems to be quite easy but the biggest problem wire the seats heating. How can I wire them doing in the cheapest possible way? If it is possible to wire it without the HVAC control module then I could mount different switches somewhere else. I also do not need 3 heating settings, one setting to turn the on for some time is enough. Bascially, I just want to be able to turn the on and off using a switch and that's it. Would it be possible to wire them any other way than they are normally wired?]]> I have Astra J 2014 Excite.

Been a long time since I've been on here . But looking for some advice if possible.

Cut a long story short about a month ago I had performance issues with my Astra J 1.6 2010 with it having dead spots in acceleration and occasionally cutting out when idle. Hooked it up to an simple OBD reader and errors all pointing to a faulty O2 sensor bank 1. So I purchased a replacement from euro car spares (no Bosch in stock at the time but the next one that was recommended was a FAE branded o2 sensor) Didnt get round to fitting it then as the old sensor was pretty much seized and wouldnt budge. Anyway only got round to getting the sensor fitted this week, car seems to running better however its now showing P0171 bank 1 too lean error, the ESP light has also come on saying it needs a service and now today the power steering light randomly flashing on and off. Ive checked the filter for obstructions and filter hose for any cracks, the pcv valve in the rocker casing doesnt seem to be sucking air in via the small hole but the oil cap can feel a little resistant in suction as well as the dip stick. Do I have an air leak somewhere maybe the manifold? Or is this a case of the sensor messing up the ECU and isnt playing nice? Really dont want to be going in and out of the garage and changing different parts if I can help it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks]]>

Today while driving I noticed that the brake lights are coming on but not when I press the pedal, seems to be in response to slowing down, then coming of when accelerating. maybe unrelated but my remote locking keyfob stopped working too.  I've never came across this problem before and think it's really strange, hope someone can help me shine some light on it. Really would appreciate some expertise on this, I'm going my wits end with it.

Looked on Opcom and there does seem to be some trouble codes. 

U0140-71 Lost communication with Body Control Module - Invalid data

C0277-06 Brake Pedal Position sensor circuit- Low voltage/open

C0277-4B Brake Pedal Position sensor circuit- Calibration not learned

C0890-003 Control module voltage reference output 3 circuit - undervoltage]]>

So recently noticed an issue. On my 62 plate 1.7 Astra GTC.

When I unlock the car and open and try to get into the passenger side door, the door won't open no matter how much I pull on it?

Any ideas

Thanks?

!0 minutes later suddenly All power went on the car without warning.. No lights, engine died, total power loss...
Tried jump starting but still nothing happens & all connections to battery seem ok...
Only thing i can think of is that i got battery changed 3 weeks ago so maybe a loose wire somewhere.
Could it be alternator or what else can cause a total loss of power.
Car parked up now & waiting to go to garage tomorrow .....]]> I had total power loss in my 2013 reg astra J sri .

I've managed to pick up a used Android unit for my Astra J, I've removed all the original equipment and read numerous threads on here and online regarding installation however I feel I'm missing something? 

The unit I have seems to differ from all the other units and I can't find anything online regarding what I have. 

The picture of the cable with the grey connector, I can't find anything that, that would connect too am I missing something that would split up the original big connector to then plug into my unit? 

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated or even better if there's anyone local to Blackpool who would be happy for me to pop round and I'll chip them something for their time? 

Thanks
Mike
