Inner Wing Lining removal help needed
Hi All

I have a 2016 Astra J GTC. I need to remove the inner wing liners (front and rear). I have checked the site and can't find a reference to this request.

Help! Plastic underneath bumper
The plastic thing underneath the front bumper - what is it for and can it be either removed and not cause any issues or be easily replaced?

I bought it with the bit in the middle not being right:

And now I've noticed on the passenger side it looks like it's coming away:

URGENT HELP PLEASE: Distressed Engine Squeel/Groan
Hi folks,

Im after some desperate urgent help please.

Our Astra J 2.0 CDTI 2011, has today developed, what I can only describe as, a distressed squeel/groan from the right hand side of the engine. 

It sounds like its coming from around the alternator/cambelt area. 
In addition, im also hearing a faint distant metallic rattle.

Can you please help? 

Its intermittent but in the last few hours and after about a 10 mile drive its gradually gotten slightly louder and more frequent.

Help with Xenon ballast placement
Hi. I bought HID conversion kit from hids-direct. 

https://www.hids-direct.co.uk/new-premiu...us-system/

I will try to fit xenon bulbs without removing the front bumper. Can someone please tell me where did you secure your ballasts. My ballasts came with a double sided tape only, so I am not able to use screws to mount the ballasts. Can you please posts pictures of your ballasts placement using double sided tape.

Thanks

Piston help
Sorry if I'm in the wrong section I'm new and come in need of help. I have a 2013 Astra 1.7 Cdti ecoflex sports tourer in need of a new piston. After getting in touch with vauxhall the part is on back order and they can't give me any sort of date for delivery. There is an alternative available from KOLBENSCHMIDT but I'm not sure if this will be okay ? Has anyone here had the same problem or used a replacement piston ? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm really stuck.
