Oil leak from pipe
Hi guys,

I noticed oil kind of near the bottom of the engine, lower down than the battery. I think it may be coming from a black pipe that looks like it has a large circlip and metal clip around it. I've attached a photo here and I think it could have been dripping down over time. The car is booked into my local garage tomorrow (Tuesday 17th March) but I wondered if anyone knows what this black pipe is for and should oil be coming out of it?
As always, thanks in advance.

GAP INSURANCE - from a car dealer? Really?!
If you're buying a new car in the coming weeks you might also be considering GAP Insurance.

But do you really want to be buying an insurance product from a car dealer? Wouldn't you have more peace of mind if you used an insurance expert who can give you impartial advice that isn't connected to selling you the car? Chances are you'd get a better price for the cover too. A serious saving!

If you'd like us to quote for your GAP Cover or you just want advice

feedback from those in the know required
Hi guys,

I'm planning on purchasing a retro fit bluetooth kit from Ray Smith for my astra. I also want a DAB add on, and I've seen another kit that I can install. I'm not sure that these two pieces if kit will run side by side without any issues.... not to mention the immense amount of wiring!

I emailed Ray Smith asking of they did an all in one alternative. He replied with this link:

Hello from Dublin
Hello.
Just replaced my Civic type S with a white Sri vx line 2.0 Cdti. 2012 model. Great car so far and enjoy the torque. The ride is miles better compared to the civic despite the 19 inch alloys.

This will be my 5th astra as I've owned one in each generation starting with a white 1991 1.8 GSI (SA spec).

No immediate mods planned but would certainly entertain a remap at some point.

Looking forward to the forum banter...

Hi from Sydney Australia
Hi, I am from Sydney Australia. One of the few owners of the Opel Astra Sports tourer here in Australia. The astra J and hatch were sold under the Opel brand only for 11 months between 2012 and 2013, the sports tourer being rarer on the road around here. 

I have the 1.6T automatic. Good all around daily family car that has adequate performance and is very stylish on my perspective.
