I have seen a few posts about swirl flaps on diesel engines becoming stuck or faulty. Does my engine have them, if so how can i locate them?

...Just wanted to say Hi.

Only came on here to get some advise on how to remove the sun visor (thanks Rusty). That was about a week ago, in that time I've spent about £120 on various bits n bobs and plan to spend even more on a bigger set of wheels, just don't tell the Mrs. lol

As I am someone who is the wrong side of 50, I can remember the days when cars would rust quite badly at a relatively early age.
Vauxhalls these days seem to be fairly well protected from rust, but what I'd like to ask is :

Have you had any trouble with rust on your Astra ?
What are any potential problem areas ?
Has anyone had any rustproofing done on their car ?

The heated seats used to work fine then all of a sudden they just cut out when I was driving one day. No power at all as when I try to turn them on, the buttons don’t light up.

Changed the fuses in the boot still nothing. The lumbar support buttons still work on the seats and everything else works fine in the car just the heated seats won’t turn on.

Is there any other fuses to try change? And if not anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Hello everyone.

My Astra will soon be needing a couple of tyres, and at 235 45 r18 size they won't be cheap.
I don't like to use cheap tyres, they are often dangerous in the wet, but on the other hand I don't much fancy paying £150 a tyre for premium tyres either.
What kind of tyres are you using and what do you think of them...?

As per heading

Changed front discs and pads
Changed Fuel Filter
Changed Pollen filter
Emptied the drivers door of water :(

Jobs to do 
Change rear discs and pads
Change the door strap as the noise when opening is doing my head in
Buy a parcel shelf
Do a fog light install
and loads of other things and when that's done give it a good detail

So had the car back for a couple of weeks now since getting new glow plugs, exhaust manifold and turbo fitted due to DPF and turbo under pressure faults.
While the car had these issues, it was performing a passive regen every 50 miles or so. Since its repair, the passive regens are consistently every 100 - 110 miles. Even if i stop the car during a regen and it fails, it wont carry out the next one for another 100 miles. this is regardless of engine temp/fuel level, which I'm sure I read somewh

Hiya all,
Firstly thank you for reading my plea for help.
OK I have the cash but not the knowledge and that's dangerous I know!!!
I am looking for shocks and 40mm springs for my wee beastie who is called Chilli, yes very femine of me but there you go. Anyway he's the 2.0l 165bhp cdti sri which I know factory is 30mm lowered but I need new shocks as mine are pants so I thought let's just get new suspension. I do not want coil overs or stupid top range, I do far too many miles and just want a l
