ok so after getting car back think the calliper wasnt just the issue, been reading abit of on-line stuff and found some information about it the DPF.

Now after so many miles some light should come on the dash to show you the car is going through a regen.
Now I have done over 20,000 miles since having my car and I have never seen this light on.

Should I be asking vauxhall why??

Does this DPF ever need changing?

[FONT=Arial]Hey guys, I have been wondering about additives, I know its a controversial subject but I would like to know your opinion on this subject.

First, I have an Opel Astra sports tourer 2011 1.7L 81kw Diesel break. I use once er month premium diesel that has additives in it, the difference I felt over the regular diesel is slightly better response of the engine, but that's it.

Second, of what I red is that there is 2 types of additives. Oil additives & Diesel/petrol additives. bot

I filled the car up with diesel and drove to my friends house to do the oil change. After that we attempted the fuel filter by turning the drain screw. However, the diesel just kept on coming out and at just over 2 litres was lost we tightened it back up in the hope some knows why it didn't stop?
I was of the understanding that just the fuel out of the filter housing would come out.
Can anyone please help?

This is the 'How to' guide showing you how to change your diesel fuel filter. My 'J' Astra is the 2010 1.7cdti and as far as I know, the filter is the same size and location for the 1.3, 1.7 and 2.0 models.

Firstly, always buy a branded filter such as Fram or Mann. I bought the Mann filter from Euro car parts which included two new seals which you will need and it cost me £18.30.

You will need the following tools:

Jack (I used my trolley jack and axle stands

Anyone here tried the premium diesel in their J's ?

Was thinking it might be worth a few tanks to see if its worth the extra/litre

Maybe as my car has a tuning box it would benefit from the premium stuff 

Any thoughts ?

So today i will be trying out a new diesel additive
liqui moly super diesel additive.

here is a link to what it does.
