Car Pass
Im assuming Vauxhall still do a Car Pass for the J ?

Anyone know how much a replacement one would be?


Just been looking through the book pack and I have no Car Pass and no service book, which has no got me slightly worried if anything has been done at the correct interval.

Has my car got dementia?
After reading the manual it appears that my car should remember the last radio station (personalised key function). But every time I get in, it tunes into Classic FM, now I'm not against classical music, in fact I quite enjoy it, but why doesn't it remember my favourites? I've tried both keys but can't seem to get it to remember the last station.

What am I doing wrong???

TPMS Sensors on wheels but not on car
Hi all,

Last night I purchased some new wheels for my car, and I suspect they may have TPMS sensors fitted, but my car doesn't have TPMS.

I have a couple of questions:

  1. Can I still use these wheels with the sensors installed? 
  2. Is it possible to replace the sensors with normal valves?

Under car plastic hanging off
Recently had a minor problem with me 2015 GTC

Plastic under carriage/skid pan(maybe?) had drooped down. Positioned under the engine (See pics)


The two passenger side screws have come loose, and by the pics they are still in the plastics

I've got under the car and attempted to screw them back in but they only go half a turn, and with a bang of my fist on the plastic they pop out again. So I'm assuming its the thread that's gone?

Whats my best play here. New screws? If someone could

Car radio doesn't always come on
I have a 2010 Astra. Recently, the car radio has not been turning on when I start the car. The screen is completely blank, but it does come on after I've been driving a few minutes.

Alongside this, the indicator lights work, but the sound does not work until the radio comes on.

Any idea what this is, and whether it's a common problem? I've had the car for almost six years now, and it's always been very reliable.

Car Insurance - what to check as well as the price
You could be missing out if you ignore the specialist brokers (especially if your car or situation is non-standard).

You might think that you're going to get your best deal on a price comparison website but actually at Chris Knott we're just as likely to beat an online price as any other.

Different deals exist for brokers that mean we can easily compete in the market.

Price is very important and we know that's normally the buying trigger but have you also considered what service you wil
