Front Caliper issues?? - Help please
Hey guys.

I had by car jacked up in the air with both calipers showing the pistons. When I pressed brakes only the passengers side piston would come out. When I original took calipers off the both retracted fine it's just that it won't come out??

The passenger side brake disc looks worse then the drivers as it is all rusty and not shiney but drivers side looks shiny. as hence why I thought something was wrong.

Anyone have any ideas to issues?

Thanks any help welcome.

A little knowledge needed please
Hey guys, I’ve recently bought a 2015 Astra Sri 1.4vvt, it’s got the standard 17” 5 spoke alloys with a notch out of each spoke, I’m looking to upgrade to 18” alloys of the similar style but the notch is just a touch longer, I believe these won’t fit as the pcd is different on a Diesel Astra and I was wondering if the mokka wheels will go on as the pcd is the same but the offset is marginally different? Also I’m looking to polybush the whole suspension but everywhere I’ve checked only lists the

Zero compression advice please
Hello as this is my first post,

After some advice please if anyone has encountered this issue before. I have bought a 2010 Astra J 1.4 VVT ( A14XER engine if it helps ). It overheated and the previous owner wanted rid so I bought it to try and get my nephew away from his ipad and experience some spannering! I didn't pay much for it as worst case I thought then we could just put a new engine in if it's really knackered.

So the experience so far.... cranks over fast and compression test show

Please advise - Z16LET engine (1.6 turbo, 132 kW) - is it a direct or indirect port?
Hello guys,

searching a lot I was not able to find if the Z16LET - 1.6 turbo, 132 kW petrol engine is a direct or an indirect port engine. I suppose that this 180 HP engine that was used in the 2nd gen of Astras H an then in Astras J is an indirect port petrol engine. And I suppose the 200 HP 1.6 turbo petrol engine that came later is already a direct port engine. Can anyone please confirm or specify this? Thank you.

Hiya all,

Please help, strange problems.
Hi, I bought an Astra J a couple of weeks ago, since then a few problems have surfaced. It started after I removed the battery to replace the air bag and steering wheel. Code 16 came on, found that a bulb had blown so replaced that, code gone but still no brake lights. I then noticed that the brake lights would illuminate with the reverse light.

Today while driving I noticed that the brake lights are coming on but not when I press the pedal, seems to be in response to slowing down, then comin
