Sorry if this is posted in the wrong folder but I could really do with some advice about the horn on my 2016 GTC. Over the winter it started to work intermittently and, as it is getting worse (sometimes it works but mostly not) with an upcoming MOT in November I have decided to replace it. I have managed to get a replacement horn unit from ebay complete with mounting bracket. I have a copy of the GTC manual which seems to indicate that I need to remove the front bumper unit to get to the horn assembly. Has anyone ever replaced the horn on a GTC and if so, is there a faster way of getting to the horn or do I have to remove the entire front bumper assembly ? I'm good at DIY and have a set of ramps but, if you think this really is a job for a garage, I'm happy to do that. Just need some friendly steer.

Any help / advice would be gratefully received ?

Many thanks in advance

I have recently bought my Astra J After having an Astra K As my company car (Couldnt quite afford the K :()

Its a 65 plate Astra Tourer 1.6 cdti 

It came with a cd400 and an after market bluetooth thing which is okay but doesnt give me any options on the radio itself. So I dont know whos calling with looking at my phone or dont know what music is playing so its kinda pointless.

I've done alot of searching on google and on here about retofitting and upgrading to different radios. Ive done this before with my 58 plate astra with tech-2 but now it looks a bit different.

What I really want to know are my options

I want bluetooth dab and satnav does the J have an apple car play radio like the K? That's what I have in my company car and if I could have anything like that I'll be happy preferably oem and not after market.

Also maybe something that can do parking sensors or reverse camera as this car is massive and doesn't have anything to help me whilst reversing.

Many thanks,

Hi everyone i'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong section.


i'm looking for some advice to installing a boost gauge i know how to install the gauge its self but unsure where i should tap the boost from. 

i know that i can tap into the boost hose but i'mt not sure if that would give me a 100% pressure reading. so i'm thinking about tapping into the intake manifold just after the throttle body which i'm thinking would give me the correct readings of pressure for the gauge? or am i completely wrong?

but where abouts is the best place to tap into? 

i've got a picture of a small section of my engine bay to where i think i may tap if anyone can point me in the right direction it be much appreciated.
 
Thanks for any advice.

I have bought a revers camera, its the AUTO-VOX M1W Wireless Reversing Camera,
i got this one because i don't want to take the dash apart and run wires from the boot to the Navi, and thought this one looks OK?

I have got as far as installing the cam by the number plate and running the wires into the boot (which was harder than i thought it would be)
Now i'm stuck 

I didn't even look at were the revers light was when i started and its up in the hatch? DOH! so i am miles away from the light.

can i use one of the wires on the left side of the boot in the little compartment? and which one do i use?
My car is Astra J 2.0 CDTI SRI SS   2012

I have looked at numerous threads and google is now hurting my head nobody shows which wire i can use?

please help a numpty
thanks

Im just in process of fitting a Towbar (non Vauxhall) to Astra J Hatch 2013 and could do with some advice on the wiring. I have a bypass relay to avoid problems with cars electrics which states it needs a permanent live feed that is not feeding anything else. Is there a connection in the boot area I can use to avoid dragging everything back to front of the care that is suitable?

I believe there maybe a socket in the rear just for a trailer so could that be used and if so where is it.

Hope you can help.

Thanks

If yes, does anyone know which wires (colors or pin connectors) to use from the back of the stereo to connect to microphone?
