Hey guys. Got a few problems with bodywork one as you could probably already tell. The black trim under the windows are starting to get blueish coloured dots appearing just noticed after giving her a good wash seeing how the suns been staying out, another issue is tar that is stuck on the passenger side. most of the time WD40 on a cloth gets it off then giving a good wash after but it wont budge. last one that is annoying me the most is stone chips and this bulge like thing thats not tar?? I wil

So i have bought a new GTC, it came with no led rear lens, so got the dealer to order and fit them. Now he says it throws up rear bulb light failure display on the dash. Pressing the button on the steering wheel stalk turns of the issue warnings. can live with that , but is there a way to eliminate this, a guy told me you can go into the ecu and change the settings in the codes menu.

I was speaking to a workmate a while back who'd been telling me that his Insignia engine had seized. He said he was told something had blocked the flow of oil in the engine. Said it had just been serviced. I think it was an 09 or 59 plate.
If you look on line, there are a few stories of Insignias with the 2.0 cdti engine that have shown a low oil pressure warning before seizing.
There are even one or two Insignias for sale on various sites needing new engines, that look otherwise in good order

Advice required : any ideas as to why my 3 passenger doors simple will not open ( from inside or out ) , the locks pop when the remote central locking is pressed. But the doors are deadlocked shut [Image: https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.../1f621.png]?[color=#1d2129][size=small][font=

Hi to all!


I have just installed my V5754 in my Vauxhall Astra J. Most things work nicely but the GPS Reception is very, very poor. The GPS info app shows that there is one sattelite it can reach and that is at 15 percent or 8 or whaterver. I don't really know what the pre-installed app wishes to communicate. I just assume that it's bad .
Google Maps also can't find my location although I'm logged into my WiFi and I placed the antenna just below the windscreen.

The radio reception is

So new to GTC life and two things have struck me about the seatbelt:

1. I can't reach over to grab it, I have to reach back with my right hand instead
and 
2. It is at neck height with no height adjustment

Has anyone done anything to combat these points (or is it just me!?)? I was thinking maybe something like the BMW Headrest holders https://www.amazon.co.uk/BMW-Genuine-Hea...B004L1X0E2 - although these get terrible quality reviews....

Hi all,

I have a 2012 Astra J 1.3 CDTi, only had the car for 6 weeks now, when i went to view it it was fine, started fine was in really good condition in and out so decided to purchase it.
The next morning it took ages to start and when it eventually did was a bit chuggy till it warmed up.
I took it too a mechanic who said there were 3 codes which related to glowplug 1,2 and 3, so i had him change all four. After having this done, it was fine for about 10 days now seem to have gone back to

hey guys

my remote has stopped working, it locks but not unlock.have changed the battery but no joy anyone had the same issue.

thanks

So, my Astra A16 LET 1.6 Turbo recently sprung a leak as the thermostat housing had split.
Replaced the thermostat and housing and the 2 temperature sensors (one in the housing and 1 on the radiator), which fixed the leak. However, the fan is still constantly on maximum all the time, coolant level low message appearing (I think the radiator is empty as the reservoir is filled up and doesn’t drop), and the coolant temp won’t get over 75C using an OBD reader. 

No codes are present with the OB

Hey all, 

just bought a 2L GTC, and its fab, 42k miles, 7 years old, was a Cat D, but has full Mots (all passed but had a few advisories here and there) going back 6 years and well.... I got it for a pretty cheap price so despite the issues I'm a happy bunny

So the good - Drives wonderfully, and the Dab/stereo is fantastic and looks pretty lovely too (white).

But, the issues

No parking sensors - have a "service parking sensor" warning

No Cruise control

and no air con.

Now th
