Hi All,
I just had a mot done today and it failed due to driver side rear the coil spring is broken.

Are they easy to change ? Do you buy them new or used from ebay ?

Where do you buy your parts from or do you use the local dealer like General traffic who sells car parts and consumable.

Do you need to change the one which is damaged or do you need to change the pair.

I very hardly drive the car and I and drive carefully and I am very surprised the coil spring is already broken, a

Hi All

Need to replace my rear fog light bulb and holder. Vauxhall have quoted £29 !!  Have visited 2 local parts places but their lamps that are quoted as correct fitment for a 2012 GTC don't fit the holder.

Does anyone have a source or part number for a 3rd party replacement ?

Does anyone know if the lower valances on the rear bumper of the GTC all  have the same fitment.  I have asked the dealers this question and for some reason they can't give me an answer.

I have bought the wife a Limited Edition GTC 1.4 turbo with all the bits but for some reason it has come with a hidden exhaust and I have noticed that there are some that come with a stainless steel tipped exhaust but you obviously have to change the lower valance to accommodate the different exhaust tip.

So my car failed MOT today due to the left rear coil spring having snapped. Mileage on 66K. (2012 2.0 cdti sri vx-line) I can't say I have noticed that the coil spring was knackered having driven the car etc.

Anyway decided to replace both rear coil springs so I've managed to source 2 Astra J SRI springs (Part No : 13340838) off eBay for 100 quid but have noted in the Haynes workshop manual that I should probably use new shock absorber bolts. 

Any

Hi, 

I have a 2.0 CDTI SRI GTC and today noticed one of my rear springs has broken, so it's time to replace them both. Does anyone know the part number for the rear springs on the GTC, and if they are the same as the 5 doors? I am right in thinking that the SRI springs are shorter than the standard ones, aren't I?

Links to buy the springs would be even better! Just after GM or OEM spec springs, nothing that would lower the car.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I've tried looking for it but didnt find what i was looking for in this forum. 

In short, I'm trying to hook up a rear view camera and to do so I'd like (as posted before in some how-to topics) to hook up my cables to my rear/reverse lights. However, the color coding of my opel astra 1.7 CDTI 2012 is different from what I was able to find on other posts on this forum. The left reverse light box (which contains reverse and brake lights) have a yellow, black and purple/white cable (s

Can anyone help me with a couple of issues i have with my astra j se cdi 1.7 ecoflex,only just got the car so not sure
about the layout of things yet.I am an ex astra g user which never had any problems with and wish id a stuck with that!!.

Anyway the rear electric windows on my astra j dont seem to work or havent for a while looking at them...
The other problem is my front fog lights dont work neither,just wont light up what so ever,this car seems to be throwing more
and more problems up

Here for sale is a LHD rear light cluster idea if you want to add a 2nd reverse light to RHD Astra.

It’s brand new still in wrapper & is the unsmoked version.

Hi all,

I hope someone can assist. Is there anyway to completely open up the rear clusters. 

I have an odd issue where my brake light clear section has snapped in both the rear clusters and rattles around within the larger cluster. I have removed both but after removing the group bulbs out the  rear I cannot find how to disassemble the rest. It looks like anti tamper screws have been used.

Not so much an issue but it keeps on knocking on the brake bulbs and causes intermittent errors wh
