Evening All,
After some advise please?
My boot release button has stopped working on my 2010 astra, it's been working absolutey fine and has just stopped?
Any ideas on what to do/try to find out the problem??
Thanks.

My dad has a 1.4 turbo and the engine is done for but the scrap yard near his work has the 1.6 turbo is it possible to just drop the engine in or will he need all the electronics to go with it

What do people use to clean car interior and keep it smelling nice and what car polish do you use as it that time of year to clean the car

My Astra will soon be needing a couple of tyres, and at 235 45 r18 size they won't be cheap.
I don't like to use cheap tyres, they are often dangerous in the wet, but on the other hand I don't much fancy paying £150 a tyre for premium tyres either.
What kind of tyres are you using and what do you think of them...?

My trailer interface module is playing up a little, some times it detects the plug insterted and will do the bulb out warning on the dash, sometimes it dosent detect the plug is insterted, 

i've 100% checked the switch in the socket is working, zero ohms when the plug is in, perfect connection when it's out (so the switch is open when plug is inserted) 

i can't talk to the TIM with the tech 2 as it says hardware mismatch or no software available... this is because my chassis number isnt on

My trailer interface module won't program with the Tech2 due to my chassis number (A13DTE engine shouldnt have a towbar fitted it seems) 

When it reads the VIN as part of programming it refuses... even if i use the VIN thats stored in the TIM, that's from a 1.7 engined meriva, 

So i removed the GM-lan wire from the TIM, connected that to the tech2's obdii connector... pin 1 - gm-lan, pin 4 and 5 to earth, pin 16 to power, 

i can talk to the TIM with the tech2 like this, read DTC's, oper

Hello there,
Every time I’ve taken my Astra for an MOT, its striggled to pass the emissions test, its only
Due to the fact that my tester is persistent and tries a handful of times before making it barely scrape through.

Car doesnt have a decat and is otherwise standard, 1.4 Turbo (140hp), is there a way i can resolve this? If for whatever reason I had to go elsewhere, it would fail every time!

Hi there, ive got a problem with my 1.4T that I cant get my head around!

Starts fine, but when i pull off and start driving it:
- sounds like its running on 3 cylinders
- idles rough when i pull up
- hardly any power when accelerating


Ive replaced the coil pack and the spark plugs but still no joy. Cant find any obvious vaccum leak either! Its driving me nuts anybody have an idea?

Hi

I had a Astra 1.7 Sri 62 plate model which only had aftermarket front & rear parking sensors & front & rear mudfIaps, I did further modifications to the car with Rusty 2009 who knowledge & helpfulness is second to none, which included electric rear windows, front heated & rear leather seats, IPC upgrade, engine remap to 160 bhp, illuminated gear stick, pioneer avic-f88 dab, interior LED lights, I was going to have the rear windows tinted & the rear reflectors change to rear foglights with
