Replacing Aerial
Hi, I have seen a couple of pictures showing some of the headlining being pulled down from around the tailgate for aerial removal. How far do you need to go to get the aerial out as I pulled along the whole of the tailgate edge and it was still too tight to gain propper access or even see the aerial base nut.

Replacing door check strap
My driver's door makes a loud clonk when I open it and I've been told the check strap needs replacing.  Is this an easy job?  I can only find guides for other models where the door card has to come off, is that needed for the Astra?

Astra J. Can a tyre valve be replaced without replacing the TPMS?

It has slow punctures on both off side wheels


My tyre garage (Formula 1 Autos) told me that air is leaking from between the valve body and the alloy wheel seat.

Are they correct?
Is the TPMS separate from the valve on this car? All I can find are combined TPMS and valve

I'm no mechanic, but my local independent garage swapped out the engine temp sensor, topped up the coolant, cleared down the error code, and everything was back to normal.  Indeed after driving
