Hi guys, car was services by vx a few weeks back. Brakes advised fine.
But approx 3-4mths ago when under heavy braking they make a loud groaning noise and seems to be when hot.
Was wondering if I need to replace the copper grease on the pads?
Will this cause this type of noise or is the grease to stop just squeezing?
Felt the discs and they are not marked at all

Anyone know if the pre facelift grille fits the facelift car, I have a 2013 astra but can't seem to find a grille, only irmscher, thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,

Just wanted some advice, I am thinking on removing the front grille, wrapping it with carbon wrap and then painting the griffin white same colour as the car. I have tried to look on Google Images to see if theres anything like it but i cant find any. What do people think? will it look ok ?

Hi,
My old Astra G used to occasionally freeze up this time of year but you could still hear the pump whirring.

On my GTC both the front and rear washers have stopped working and I cannot hear the pump whirring - Is this a known issue and where can I start looking to troubleshoot it please?

Yes it has a full reservoir



Driving to work today in the dark with freezing fog was seriously bum clenching.....use the wipers and everything smeared...it was like looking through a bat

Hello, i`d line to change my standard front grill and install the grill from the biturbo.

I have this one http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTYyWDE2MDA=/z...wHQ9WZYQY/$_1.JPG

And I want this one http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTYwWDEyODA=/z...wRJ9XgLiz/$_1.JPG

I found some part numbers, you can check here http://nemiga.com/cat_spares/epc/opel/p10/b1/13/

It seems to me that i'll need just the number 18 from the link above. Do you think that i'll need the number 16 too? Is number 16 and 19 the s

Im suspecting its the front Drop Links/Stabiliser Rod...

Would anyone agree/disagree?

Also, seeing as ECP have up to 69% off, im thinking about ordering a couple.

There are 4 brands available, are they all about the same or is there any that I should avoid?

Q-Drive;
Lemforder;
OCAP
TRW.

Many thanks,
G.

I have something behind the rear view mirror that from the front I can see a lense in, there's also a wire running from it to inside the rear view itself. What's the purpose of it? Ps. Only owned the car for 3 weeks, and new to forums. Thanks.
