Recently I got my J back on the road after it had been stood for a year without being started much.
The car had been running fairly well for the first week or so so I decided I was gonna treat it to a full service, replace the thermostat (had the "service vehicle soon" message for some time), coil pack, get some new floor mats and take care of the minor advisories on the MOT.
For a week I noticed that the car was starting to get very sluggish turning over, but it always fired up. Eventually on

Hi there,

Would really appreciate some help with this one, my Astra J has developed a weird electrical fault. Most of the exterior lights have stopped working except for the middle brake light and high beams, the interior lights have stopped, the central locking, fans and rear window washer as well. This all happened at the same time, I get lights on the dash saying that I need to check the bulbs but that doesn't make sense with everything stopping at once. I've had it to a couple of garages

Had service ESP warning light come on, the TC light and ABS light came on.

I've had the codes read, one was drivers side front ABS wheel speed sensor and the other was for ABS pump.

Got both cleared and esp warning came back on straight away from leaving the garage, I have changed the sensor now and had 4 hours of warning light free driving today [Image: https://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/images/icons/thumbsup.png].

However the ESP warning has come back on, I've not had it back to have the

Arrived back home on Sunday with a boot full of shopping, to find I couldn't open the hatch.

Tried unlocking/locking the car a few times to see if it would unlock. Drove round the block to see if jarring the car through a few pot holes would rattle it back into life.

Still locked. I couldn't access the manual release as the boot was full right up.

I eventually managed to get it open, but not sure how. Whether it was a combination of unlocking / locking, or pressing down on the hatch, bu

Hi everyone,

Just to give some background on why I decided to purchase an OpCom reader, I've been having the following issues on my J GTC 1.4:

• Strange limp mode without warning lights/messages (accelerate to a certain RPM in a certain gear causes it to lose around 60% of power. It goes back to normal if I restart the car)
  
• Cold start higher revs than normal - needle ticks past the 1k RPM range for a couple of minutes and then lowers to a normal rate
  
• Starting the engine af

Hi guys any help will be appreciated.. What are these codes for?

Hi guys had the p2453 code come up (dpf pressure sensor)... Had it replaced by vauxhall last week... At the weekend was driving and svs message came up .. Plugged opcom in and its the same p2453 error code?
Surely sensors last more than 4 days?

wasn't getting a hum from the motor when the stalk was pulled forward or backwards so purchased a new washer pump which solved the rear issue bu

P0399 - Cylinder 1 Pressure Sensor Circuit - Malfunction - Faulty Function

The car  seems to drive OK, no general loss in power but am noticing when changing gears the engine revs seem to overun if the gas is less off when the clutch is down.  i.e. if chaning at 3,000 rev, and i put the clutch down and let off the ga
