Has anyone blanked an EGR on a 1.7?
So my 1.7 CDTI 125 is idling funny & I'm wondering if the EGR is playing up. Has anyone blanked it on this engine? I'm not fussed about having the EML on but wondered if it's as easy as it looks? (To me, EGR looks to be to the right of the engine cover right on top of the inlet? 

Cheers

The day has come to say goodbye
Hi guys 

So after just over a year of ownership it was time to say goodbye and move the Astra on to a new owner.

It's been a great car but I wanted something a bit faster and bigger, so I did a straight swap with a BMW 325D M Sport, 3.0 diesel remapped to 240bhp but still returned 47.2mpg the whole way home today.

I do have some LED number plate lights from the Astra if anyone is interested!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone, il still stick my head round the door from time to tim

"Stop Vehicle Immediately Engine Has Overheated" Advice appreciated please
Hello, thanks for allowing me to join your forum.
I have a 2013 Astra Tourer Auto 2.0 CDTI SRI which I'm very fond of and have owned since Sept 2016.
It's been faultless in the time I've owned it, and has done about 54000 miles, normally goes very well, and has full Vauxhall history.

Today, however after an 8 mile drive at fairly low speeds it broke down.

I had just negotiated a roundabout when a message came up on the display "Stop Vehicle Immediately Engine Has Overheated"
I pulled

Can anyone ELI5 why my IPC has 3 TC indicators?
Wondering if anyone can explain it like I am 5 why when I push TC off I get a bludgy-tyre with TC in it and a cross out. But there is also a drink-driver image just above it, and on the other dial a drink-driver image who is off that day?

Stupid questions I know, I think I know why but want to hear from others to validate or pretend that is what I thought all along.

Has my car got dementia?
After reading the manual it appears that my car should remember the last radio station (personalised key function). But every time I get in, it tunes into Classic FM, now I'm not against classical music, in fact I quite enjoy it, but why doesn't it remember my favourites? I've tried both keys but can't seem to get it to remember the last station.

What am I doing wrong???

The new model astra: my time with astra has ended
Being in the market for another car, I read with interest that PSA has announced an engine & tech refresh to the Astra.

I love my J, it's an amazing workhorse.

So I was very, very disappointed to read the engine options from PSA:

Petrol - 1.2 & 1.4, all 3 cylinder options
Diesel: 1.5 unspecified cylinders.

Well. I was looking at a petrol, as it's a city short journey runner, but I despise the 3 cylinder. Had one before and never, ever again! Bugger that.

Didn't think I would say this, but w
