Engine and Gearbox Options
So I have been looking at new cars just to pass the time of day but have noticed that there are far fewer options for Auto drivers than manual.

I love fast cars and have down sized cars to try and save money but the thirst fro more power always gets me.

I love my little GTC and cant fault it but I thought I wonder if there is a faster alternative for me.

I have to drive auto's now because of an accident and looked about to see what Vauxhall offered but in the GTC I am stuck with the 1.4

Engine Temperature
New Astra owner. First time poster.
I bought an Astra J 2010 1.6 SE recently. Within a few weeks the low coolant warning came on the dash, the level only dropped a little also fan wasn't kicking in and engine seemed very hot after only a short drive. Dealer replaced the thermostat and housing, within sales warranty, which had leaked some coolant and tested the fan as well.

Intermittent engine rattle noise
Hi all new to here bought my first Astra 3monthd ago it's an Astra j 1.6 cdti ecoflex 136ps. The problem I am having is an intermittent loud rattleing noise on startup.

Also got an intermittent slight rough idle as well not shore if the problems
