Astra j vxr front seat
Hi newbie on here so b nice to me
I have a 2013 vxr and the the passenger seat folding hinge has just snapped on me so can't get into the back
I have bought a replacement hinge and have taken out all of the plastic bits around the area but can't get any further
Do you have to remove the back of the seat and take off all the leather or can it be done from the small hole where the handle is located
Any help would be appreciated

Dry, almost grinding type noise from front wheels / discs area
I have noticed a strange noise on my astra j. The noise sounds like when a brake disc lip may be slightly rubbing / touching the caliper. However, it is not this making the noise. The noise happens all the time. It doesnt change if i brake, turn left or right and it doesnt change with clutch or gear changes. If i push the car when it is off i can still hear it. Possibly from drive shaft area?? Has anyone else had this?

PDC on VXR front bumper
Just ordered a complete VXR front bumper. It dosen´t have PDC option. PDC was not an option on the VXR.

Mine comes from factory with PDC. Has anybody fitted the PDC sensors in this bumper and where.

Maybe someone has a good idea how to fit the sensors.

All inputs are welcome.

Head restraints on front seats horizontal adjustment
In the manual I see that we can adjust the Head restraints on front seats vertically and horizontally.

I just want to know how to adjust horizontally? I tried, but I can't, and I'm afraid to force.

Diameter of front discs
Hello

Euro car parts are doing up to 55% off today, so I'm after buying front and back discs and pads. I can get the lot for £156.46!

Problem is I'm unsure of the diameter of the front disc. Euro car parts say that there's 2 types 300mm and 321mm I've just measured mine and they're 280mm!

How-to front mudguards for vxr style pack 1 (maybe all)
Righty then, i think tucpal has made a how to for the normal styling packs that you get and the rear for my 2016 gtc LE with vxr pack 1 went on perfectly but needed to take the wheels off. For the front i used a T20 torx screwdriver, 4 zip ties, a pencil, sharpie, a drill with various drill bits, a grinder, pin pliers, wire snips and soapy water with sponge. As always read this guide and familiarise yourself before starting

First you want to turn the wheel so you can get access (or take it off

Front Bumper
Hi, sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place.  I've had my Astra for over 5 years now and come back and forth to this forum whenever I need to do something on my car and always finding great help but never had to register before now and post.

I hit a deer on Tuesday night and it's done some damage to my bumper, grille and badge.  I don't think I will need a new bumper as there is only a slight crack that no one might notice but I will need a new grille and I won't know for sure until I've

Front knocking
Hi,
I've had my 2.0CDT SRI Astra J for about a month now and it is great, but...

I have already developed a knocking clunking noise coming from ( what I think ) is front pasanger side. It can be heard at slowish speed up to 40mph. There is no knocking when turning the steering wheel/pulling off + going over spead bumps doesn't make it any worse.

I have so far tried the following:

1. Rock the car from side to side
2. Push down on the bonet ( top of the struts )
3. Push/Pull the wheels

Delayed thump after braking from front of gtc
Hi I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I bought an Astra gtc 2ltd in March 13 plate. Recently I have noticed that there is a thump coming from font of car. Only happens after I brake. For example if I brake and come to a stand once I remove my foot from brake a few seconds later there is a thud. This happens when braking and pulling away at low speeds only. If the car is stationery and in neutral and I press the brake lever remove my foot a few seconds later a loud thud that I c
