Replacement discs and pads
Hi,

Firstly, great forum with loads of useful info.

I need to replace the front discs and pads on my 2.0 CDTi. Eurocarparts list a few brands to choose from, one of which is Brembo. Is it worth upgrading to Brembo discs and pads with standard calipers? The price difference isn't much so I'm tempted but I don't know if braking or longevity will be improved - does anybody have any advice/experience?

Thanks in advance.

Navi 650 bluetooth and reverse camera
Hi, I've installed Navi650 I-Link on my Astra J 2013.
It has bluetooth installed in HU, right? What I need to add to make it work? Just the microphone? Now when I go to "Phone" in the Menu it says "Not possible". I think that is because I don't have the microphone connected on HU.
I would like to add some aftermarket mic, do you know how to connect it to HU?

Second thing is reverse camera, What I need to do? Just need to buy a camera and done it with VCI?

Angel Eyes MOT and Legality
Hey guys

Anyone know what the stance is from an MOT point of view and legal point of view when it comes to angel eyes like these but in white? I know the coloured ones are sort of frowned upon and don't like them anyway.

Cheers

Squeaking, whirring and grinding
I've had my J since mid-August. Haven't really had any issues until now. It's a 1.3 CDTI. I noticed a squeaking that was getting louder. I looked under the bonnet and it was one of the belts (not sure which) but it didn't quieten/get louder with acceleration. The squeaking has now died down and now I mainly hear a whirring from inside the car, as if the belt is struggling to go round. Just earlier on a short journey I heard three times, what I can only describe as a grinding sound, the same soun

Hello from me and my Astra!
Hi all!

Promised to introduce myself and the car. Wanted to clean the car to get a few good pictures of it but looks like I don't clean the car very often
Didn't want to wait another few months so I decided I would just post a few pictures from when I bought it in march this year.

First off, I'm a Belgian fellow (from the Flemish part) and my name is Raf! Yes like the royal air force
In march this year I decided I wanted to trade my 12 year old Nissan Almera 1.5 CDTi (was still rolling g
