Brakes questions - squeaking noise, rust, quality.
Hello guys,

Did a 60,000 KM service exactly one month ago.
I changed the front and rear pads + the rear discs, along with other things.

The car brakes fine, but there's a really annoying squeaking noise.
I called the garage and they said that there shouldn't be any squeaking noise at all, even if the discs and pads aren't original.
I'm gonna go there next week, but I wanted to check with you guys first.

1) Is squeaking normal with brand new discs and pads?

2) I have a lot of dust

Many much Questions
Please bear with me I'm old and don't pick things up as quick as I used to. (I think I'm saying I'm old and thick ;-))

On the DAB front , If I just want to upgrade my existing CD400+
Do I just need

1. Dab module (assuming cabling exists)
2. Dab cradle
3. Dab aerial (or new tailgate and wiring etc if want to stay original)
4. Someone to program it (Essex area)

I think this will be the cheapest route to get DAB

Foglights
I believe I have the facelift model , does anybody have part

A few questions about my Astra
Just a few things I couldn't find the answers to to get me started with modding.

1) How do I go about removing the front and rear badges for painting. I've learned to get the front grill off its a bumper off job but can I remove just the chrome badge? Also the rear one which is the boot release button.

2) VXR fog surrounds. Have seen the VXR has the silver panels around the fogs. Never had a close look but are these panels that can be added on or part of the bumper. I'd like to paint som

Couple of programming questions
Got a hold of a genuine MDI so I want to see which of the following are possible.
Maybe everything is very obvious in SPS but I like to be prepared so I can get it done in one session hopefully.

So here's a first few things I'd like to change:
- no annoying reminder beep for seatbelt
- 5 blinks instead of 3 for turn indicator
- enabling parking sensor info in instrument cluster panel

Are these possible and if so, which module should I be looking at?

Android 8.0 V5754 Head unit questions
Hi all,
I curently have one of the older android hu from icebox, but looking at the v5754 mainly to get the better CPU and more ram. Octo core CPU and 4Gb ram (My hu has only 1Gb today).

2) do you have any issues with Noise, li

New owner of Sports Tourer.. a few questions.
Hi all,

Picked up a 64 plate 2.0 CDTI SRI sports tourer this morning and so far so good! I just have a few questions.

I only have 1 key which was a little disappointing, what's the best way to go about getting a spare? Saw a few ads on eBay but wasn't sure who to trust and what to pay.

Second thing I noticed a small cubby hole type thing on the inside of the tailgate that has clips that open.. any idea what it's for??

Lastly I have a few patches on the alloys that are rough almost li
