Changing steering wheel badge
Looking at swapping all the badges on my GTC to Opel badges (cleaner look imo) Im guessing the 2 badges on the bodywork are gonna be a pretty straight forward swap, havn't had a proper look yet, but for the steering wheel am I going to need a new wheel or airbag? 

Looking at the way the badge is set in wheel i'm assuming this is the only way round it, any of you guys swapped the badges over and have any info for me? Cheers

Changing rear pads
Going To attempt this on the weekend, I've neglected my rear brakes to the point I have no material left (approx 2-3mm I think) and my brakes are making one hell of a noise when braking hard.
I'll follow the how to that's on here (great guide, I did the front ones following it) do I need a winding tool? As I've not got one ☹️

Changing day-time running lights
Has anybody with a 14 plate J ever changed the daytime running lights to a better LED before? I've just messed about for last half hour taking air box off for a bit of extra space and easier to get to the cap. But I couldn't find it anywhere?! All I can see if the main beam cover, along with the dipped beam cover :S

Changing instrument panel?
I think it's referred to as the instrument panel I'd like to upgrade it. I have an Astra J Energy and I think i have the most basic display. I enabled MPG and stuff with opcom but I'd like the big display I've seen on other models. Is it a simple swap of panels or is there a lot more to it?

Navi radio and larger instrument display changing
First off, please accept my humble apologies, i drive a 2011 Meriva B... and to make things worse, it's the one with the little 1.3 diesel engine too!! (A13DTE) 

But i want to do a few upgrades on it if i can, and this forum seems to have the best people who change things about and generally make things work where others say it can't be done.

I'd really like to upgrade the CD400 radio unit i have to one of the sat nav units with bluetooth etc, the ones with the colour screen in the top of

Changing Rear Shock Absorbers. Astra-J Hatch. Replace or reuse bottom bolts?
Hi folks,

I'm about to change the rear shocks on my car, and according to the info on the Vauxhall workshop manuals website the bottom bolt that connects the shock to the suspension arm should not be reused, but a new one fitted.

The torque settings given are to tighten initially to 150 Nm, and then tighten a further 65 degrees. This suggests to me that it's a stretch bolt. Am I correct?

In all the years I've replaced shock absorbers on various Vauxhall cars, this is the first time I've

Changing rear brake discs
Hi,

I've already found the how2 for changing the front and rear pads, but no mention (that I can find) of also changing the rear discs on a 2.0 CDti with 292mm discs.

Anyone know the socket sizes I need, and what the torque settings are?

I have a rewind tool, and it was previously mentioned to me that both pistons need rotating back in clockwise. Is that correct?

Also, I have a traditional handbrake that is operated via a lever. Anything I need to know about before attempting to change the d
