Fourth gear seems to make a more prominent noise/drone than the others, it seems to happen going upto around and down to 30MPH.

Am I being too picky or do gearboes more this sort of noise, by the way it's not very loud.

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!

Has anyone encountered a very annoying 'humming' sound coming from behind the glovebox in an Astra J upon starting the engine? (1.6 non-turbo in my case) I can't take the noise anymore...

I've read that could possibly be something wrong with the heater-blower.

Cheers!

Performance is dreadful........flatspots everywhere below about 4k, can anything be done to make it better ?

Just had the timing belt changed and was advised the water pump was not needed due to it not being driven by the timing belt,  it is driven by the aux belt.

Is this correct?
