Thought I'd upload the footage of bad driving I'd come across on my way home Friday evening.

Video is a little long but starts with an Audi shooting up the bus lane and then across 3 lanes into the right turn filter.  Followed by a questionable over take. End's with two Audi's trying to get in the same lane.

Hi,

I went to test drive an Astra-J 2.0 CDTI 2011 last week and when I drove it, it was splendid, however when I got to 70mph under my seat I could feel what can only be described as an oscillating rumble, not loads, but like something was grinding. Only happened and 70mph, when I slowed down, it went away, and when I went over 70mph it went away, literally between 68-72mph.

Any ideas what that could have been?

Car is still available, if its something minor, I could go back to it.

hi guys, hoping you can help me with this one, I have a 2012 Astra j 2.0 cdti sri, I had a major service done on it last week, a week later on my way to work my power steering failed and it's telling me it needs a service, I was lucky I was on the straight part of the country road I was going down! Anyway once I got to work I turned car off for five minutes and it started working again, few days later and it stopped again as I was going down a38, any ideas what may be the cause? Anyone had this

Hey guys on my Astra gtc I am noticing that sometomes hen pull off sharply and when u turn the wheel left going in forward or reverse it can clunk also.

Now when I have had this in for service or MOT they have mentioned it to me but can never seem to tell me where it's coming from making me wonder if the usual aspects of front shock , top mounts etc are not the usual culprit here. Has anyone else had this issue?

Any ideas would be great thanks.

Hi

The rear light drives side has stopped working. At first, I thought it was a bulb problem. Bulb ok. So the next thought that it must be the bulb holders. But check that on another car and on the opposite side. I've ruled that out as well. So it can only be the wiring or the plug itself. Can this be bought separately? Or is it a case of tapping into the wiring loom with a 2nd hand plug.

Hello Everyone,

I do have an Hatchback Astra J 2015 1.4NET with auto transmission. 

I did detected a flapping noise like as you are driving something stick on the tires or it sounds like there is some lines on the road and you are passing on them. 

I know it's a very low chance find this kind of a sound issue without hearing it but I'm out of ideas to tell to service to check. 

So I made below checks and fixes: 

- When I first noticed the sound I re-balanced the summer tires on th

I have a 2012 registered Opel Astra. 57k kilometers. It has received an interim service every calendar year. When i am stationery and just beginning to take off or when i am driving very slowly(really slowly) i get a strange noise coming from the passenger side(either towards front wheel or towards back wheel). 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
