TURBO FAILURE, something else wrong
I'm in rather desperate need of ideas! Just before Xmas on a 45-mile return trip, I started to hear the turbo. It wasn't loud, but clearly there unlike normal. At Xmas, we set of on a journey with our fingers crossed, but about 35 miles down the M74, going up an uphill stretch, the turbo gave up completely. We struggled on a bit further, but were soon leaving a smoke trail, and pulled off to get recovered. The car's been in getting the turbo replaced, but the garage doing the work (they're recom

Auxiliary Belt failure - cam belt change question
Hi all, I bought an Astra 2.0 CDTI recently and they fitted a new cambelt and waterpump as part of the sale.

Has my Astra-J got a selective bulb failure warning system?
My Astra-J is a 2013 (63 plate) Elite model.

It seems very selective on telling me what bulbs have failed.

It has previously let me know I had a failed number plate light, DRL, dipped beam, and a brake light (no, not all at the same time )

However, it didn't inform me that I had a failed tail light bulb (one of the two pairs in the hatch), or more recently a high beam bulb.

Yes, I know you can't beat visually checking for yourself, but the bulb failure system on my old Vectra-C Elite was a
