I have come across a J 1.6 cdti136 which is ticking a lot of boxes at the moment.

Has anyone got or had any experience with this engine? any issues and can it do 50mpg as stated on Honest John's
Real MPG forum??

Any info would be welcome as there is a lack of iit anywhere on the internet for this engine apart from reviews from autocar, top gear ect....must admit Clarksons write up was very complimentary for this particular engine.

Hey guys! This is my Astra / snowmobile-

It's got the full leather, Navi650, black dash surround, etc. So far all I've done is stuck in some rubber mats for the winter time and added a set of Insignia pedals, but I've been looking at a lot of other subtle mods which I think should've been fitted as standard.

I also want to do the front grill bar black- I've been looking at Plasti Dip, but I've read

Hi all,

New to the forum so sorry if this has already been asked.


I have 18” astra gtc rims on my astra j 2015 but feel that it could do with a little dropping. Ive looked and can get a set of H&R springs from ECP but think the 30mm drop maybe a little too much for what im after?

Do the standard SRI springs fit as i know there 10-15mm lower than i have now?? That would be just nice for what im after

Any help would be appreciated
