Hi Guys
I would like to buy the Dash cam, but i very rarely used the car on weekdays and sometimes at weekend. So if i dont use the car as often, would it drain my car battery ?

I can not always park outside my house, so this is the disadvantage.

Given that I have a 2.0CDTI engine (A20DTH) and that last winter I had the low oil pressure light pop up for a second or so when starting the engine in the morning, I thought I should replace the O ring on the oil pickup from the sump. 

After taking the sump off and removing the O ring I did notice that it was stiff and brittle and I replaced it. Since the O ring was so brittle I decided to take a couple of bearings off and inspect them and the crank. I've uploaded some images.

Hi everyone in this amazing forum, i would like to open this thread about how to change from my actual speedometer to a more recent one with bigger display and better inside light.

So anyone that could help adding information to solve and enlighten us all would be amazing!!

Winter Tyres and Chris Knott

Hi, I'm often asked on club forums (and Facebook groups) about switching to winter wheels/tyres and whether an insurer will charge extra if you do.

As it's getting to that time of year again I thought I'd just reassure any Chris Knott clients that the insurers we use don't usually charge for this. However, if you are thinking of swapping your wheels we do have to log when you make the switch and then again when you go back to normal - so please let us kn

Hi All,
I bought my car about 6 months ago, its only 5 years old and had less than 40k on the clock. At first I had two issues with the car, the engine coolant light was coming on even though it had just been serviced and remote locking with the buttons in the car was hit and miss, sometimes they'd work other times it wouldnt, same with taking the key out, it wouldn't automatically unlock the doors at times. 
I took it back to lookers and they spent around 3 weeks in total with the car (lockin

Hello all

What happened this morning was that during acceleration the car (Astra J 1.6) behaved like misfiring, acceleration was slow and car was "Jerking" then Electronic Stabilization Control lit got on and Engine Light started to blink. After acceleration the car was running normally and idling normally both light went off.  Next time when accelerating same happened again I do not know yet which lit came first on and which one first off - can check later. No codes found in engine section.

I was wondering if anyone can provide me with the DVD800 Navi and the HVAC single zone control panel pinouts and perhaps an electrical wiring schematic.

As far as I can tell from searching online, the whole system consists of:

• The actual DVD800 radio (part no. 13315944). I assume the only two round plugs are coax for the radio and GPS antennae but correct me if I'm wrong. What about the rest?

I have a 2012 registered Opel Astra. 57k kilometers. It has received an interim service every calendar year.

It like a squeaking noise.

Noise doesnt seem to be present when going faster.


ADDITIONALLY as mentioned the car has only get an interim service every year since purchased (6 inter
