Hi All

I'm looking for a bit of help with regards to getting some custom boot struts made up to help push the boot lid open when I "pop" the boot using the key fob (this is for my 5 door astra).

I've looked on various sites but know nothing about any of the following questions they're asking...Can anyone assist and tell me what I would need to achieve the above?

Rod Diameter

Tube Diameter

Stroke Range

N Force Range

Panel (boot lid) weight

Cheers!

Hi all,

Soooo I'm thinking of going for a proper remap and sodding the warrant! Ha. My question is... What kind of values should I not exceed (torque and BHP wise) to ensure I don't damage the stock components? Or is there no real value and is this something I should be taking up with the remap company?

Desperately need help guys, due to go away monday but the cars poorly, had a thermostat fitted last weekend but noticed a leak around the bleed screw, so I put a new bleed screw in but was still leaking, put some PTFE on and it's slowed it down, lad who I use for repairs thinks it's a new radiator job, anyone else got any suggestions before I take a lump hammer to the whole car?

Heres some pics which is what makes me think it's the bleed screw,

Hi all

Wondering if you can advise on springs. Been researching a lot the last week or so and still a little unsure, but getting there!

So I want to lower the car (2014 2litre CDTI 165bhp diesel).

Eibach pro kit seem to be the commonly used springs, hwoever, I've seen reference to the Eibach Sportlines and where the pro kit and the sportlines have been discussed, people are saying the sportlines are worth it as they're a lot lower and the drop with the pro kit isn't that noticable.

First off apologies if this hasn't been put in properly first time posting aswell as first time using tapatalk, I'm trying to remove a dent in my rear wheel arch but can't think how the best ideas I've had is to remove the rear bumper following rustys write up and then try to have a go at from that way just wondering if anyone knows firstly if it would work and if not is there a better way to go about it ?

Hi. I have a 62 plate 2.0CDTI Elite manual gear box. Its all fully standard except the DriveAudio headunit.

On Tuesday I went to Manchester and back (170 mile round trip) no problem. On Wednesday I went up Bradford way, again about 170 miles odd (I don't do these types of runs every week mind).

Well on the way up Bradford, no problems. But after work I get in the car and shortly later I get a 'Service Vehicle Soon' message. I just clear it thinking its reminder to service as the car seems

I'm having an issue finidng my paint code on the car (need a few chips touched in), I've seen there should be a sticker in the passenger or drivers side door shut, but I've checked and the only sticker is on the passenger side and just gives the tyre pressure, I've scoured the engine bay and cant see any sticker there either, is there a way to get the paint code from the Vin No. , or is there any other way I can confirm what colour the car is, its a blue colour but I think theres a few colours t
