for the people who have mud flaps, have you got genuine gm mud flaps or are they the generic mud flaps ive seen on sites like ebay, alot seem to be tailor made for the astra j but not genuine.


is it worth paying more for genuine?

18ish quid for non gen, 46ish for gen mud flaps

Has anyone taken a turbo from the 1.6T Astra J and installed it on the non-turbo engine?

I'm looking into doing it to my 1.6 non-turbo Elite.

Any information would be awesome and I also apologise if there's a thread that already exists for this. I couldn't find any...

Cheers!

In the quest for added power to my 1.4sri non turbo, rather than going down the route of induction kits, remaps and the like could I simply retrofit a turbo from a 1.4T? Instant 140bhp or am I way off?

Hi all,

I'm trying to find some information on fitting a set of 20 inchers to my Astra J Sports Tourer. Do any of you know if this is possible? Will I have to modify the vehicle in any way to achieve this? 

This website reckons these will fit fine: https://www.performancealloys.com/wheel-...px?ID=4442

I test drove an Insignia ST (before buying the Astra ST) and it had 20inch rims on it that really tied the car together. I've had a look around at some photos of 19" on some 5 doors

I was previously running a 2010 Smart fortwo as my second vehicle, which helped keep some of my 30K mileage a year off of the Astra

However, soon after buying the Smart it became obvious it was lemon in the automated manual gearbox department........

6 break downs, all gearbox related, one new clutch actuator later and yet still the same issues persisted.........

Car has been rejected by me back to the supplying garage via the finance company, which is proving to be a long, drawn out an

Hi all I have a 2010 Astra j 1.4 petrol ( non turbo ) which has just started playing up. Whilst driving warning lights come on the dash as can be seen in the first image, the speedo and the odometer stop working. This will then clear then start again. Then sometimes the power steering stops working and the lights on the dash are as in image 2. This can then clear and the cycle repeats itself. This is happening more frequently but does not happen all the time :s. Through googling this the only th

I want to make my boot open remotely when i am approaching it with bags of shopping in my hands... the car is a 2011 meriva B....

Going to try the springs on the struts, my struts are pretty weak so time for new ones, so also going to get uprated pressure struts... actually gonna get adjustable pressure struts... they start with 70 newtons of lifting power... and a bolt can be opened to release some of the nitrogen pressure if they are too powerful to close the boot lid) 

This is with the

I have a power fold mirror from 5 door Astra J fitted to my GTC and although it functions fine it doesn't fit very well! I was wondering can I get a standard non power fold mirror and use the internals of my current mirror to convert it to power fold!? Sounds complicated, I'm guessing not???

Hello all,

I'm in need of a new headlight assembly on the driver's side of my 2013 J Sports Tourer (A16LET engine & standard non-Xenon non-adaptive headlights.)
I'm browsing through listings on eBay etc, however there seems to be a distinction between 'Sport' and 'non-Sport' models when it comes to compatibility. 
I'm a bit thrown by this as I'm in Australia where the J was sold under the short-lived Opel brand with no 'Sport' model in the lineup. Can anyone shed a bit of light on what a Sp

Any ideas?
