How to change fuel filter (diesel cars)
This is the 'How to' guide showing you how to change your diesel fuel filter. My 'J' Astra is the 2010 1.7cdti and as far as I know, the filter is the same size and location for the 1.3, 1.7 and 2.0 models.

How to install Sat Nav to a safe location
This little gadget seems too obvious for me to post it online and technically it isn't a 'how to' guide. However, I'm sure there are drivers on this forum who may just have overlooked this idea so I'm posting it in case it helps someone.

Instead of having your TomTom stuck on the windscreen in your face, there is a 'gooseneck' available, some made my TomTom themselves and others that are after market. Mine is an after market one and may do the job better because as far as I know it is slightl

Hey All

This is just a quick how to for removing the black trim which is inside the boot door (the bit which has the grab handles for closing the boot from the inside). 

So to begin with there are 2 x 7MM bolts which hold the lid firmly in place to the frame of the boot itself, you want to remove these first. There are located within the internal grab handles (one on each side).
