Thoughts on universal seat cover
Have been looking at universal seat covers on eBay. I have found some but I have yet to see any pictures of what they look like fitted on an Astra GTC 1.4t 15 plate. Does anyone know how they fit? Are they nice and snug or slightly loose and cheap looking? 

I was mainly looking at a set for £59.99 called “deluxe black red pu leather set for Astra”. On the stock photo they look like they fit perfect but would hate to get them and realise they actually do not fit as snug as the picture suggests

Car radio doesn't always come on
I have a 2010 Astra. Recently, the car radio has not been turning on when I start the car. The screen is completely blank, but it does come on after I've been driving a few minutes.

Alongside this, the indicator lights work, but the sound does not work until the radio comes on.

Any idea what this is, and whether it's a common problem? I've had the car for almost six years now, and it's always been very reliable.

Sports Tourer DAB+ on Android Headunit
11 plate Tourer with CD400 factory option - now running an Android W072 headunit.

No sound on indicators, seat belt warning and quiet front parking sensors
Wondering if anyone can help.

I had some work done recently to replace the passenger side wing mirror and glass on drivers side door, resultant of my GTC being vandalised. 

The issue I have (and have pointed out to the repairers when I picked the vehicle up from), is that I no longer have indicator, seat belt and almost inaudible front parking sensor sounds. All these were in good working order before the car was broken into and sent off for repair.

I guess the chimes etc go through spe

'Service Vehicle Soon' on display
Can anyone give me some advice on this please? 
 
I've had this 1.6 CDTI 2014 for 4 years (67K), always done my own servicing, including resetting oil service life indicator, but never had this 'Service Vehicle Soon' warning come up on the Multi-Function Display before, a horizontal spanner in the middle of the image of a car.   Admittedly the service was delayed and quite late this year due to Covid.

I have had issues with the Intake Air Temperature sensor of recent triggering an engine MI
