I bought an Astra J 3 months ago and I was trying to locate vin number punched to the chassis. The Chassis number was covered in surface rust and I could see some numbers so I tried to remove rust with some sand paper and rust remover. Now I cannot see the numbers at all . Is there any product I can use to make the number reappear?

Hello, so this is my firsat post and im in need of help regarding the exaust system on my Astra J 1.6 SRI VX Line.

Had the sensor replaced and a forced regen done.

Error didn't clear and car has stayed in limp mode. No EML, no DPF warning,

Hi, hope someone can help me. The spring for the handle on the cubby box undrr the steering wheel has popped out. Strange looking thing. Can anyone advise how it goes back in. The drop down flap/door is now permanently open and I have no idea how its's supposed to go in.

Dpf soot level shows 131%.. No fault codes on the car and the dpf Differential sensor is reading 102kpa... Been for a very long drive today down the m1 doing 65 in gear 4 at 3k revs but soot levels are still the same?

I fitted this, along with a Kenwood DMX8019DABS head unit, using the Connects2 cables, etc. The head unit works completely, however nothing is appearing on the 4 line display, assuming the unit works, and the steering controls are not working (for volume, et
