Vauxhall have issued an update for the ECU for all 2.0 CDTI 160/165Ps with Stop/Start.

There has been reports that this is stopping the DTUK RED BOX working correctly, DTUK are aware of this and have worked on a fix for it although the fix might not work for all at this time.

I emailed DTUK this morning to find out where I stand as I already own the box I was told

The best bit is the wife is in full agreement and is also trying to talk me into doing the handles on the VXR wheel (I'm not sure on that one).

Came home from work last night to an empty house and the back door wide open. Luckily they didn't take the Mrs jewellery or the spare key to the car. But they took everything else including the spare keys to the house. Just waiting on the house insurance to get back to us about the claim.

Help Guys!!! My car now won't start after installing the LEDs and door card, when I turn the key the car just make some awful noises (like the battery has died or something) and then it won't start!! It also spat the disc out of the disc tray for some reason :-/

Anyone any idea why this has happened?! Kind of need my car for work so I'm buggered it I can't get it working!

Hi All

Was looking around in my settings the other day and I saw "Remote start" in the options.

I don't believe I have the correct keyfob as the link above says "remote vehicle start buttons"

Any idea if its possible to retrofit / get this working? Would love in the winter months to remote start it!

Cheers

It turns out a company called Secure my Car offer this feature and more (search them followed by Astra j in YouTube and you'll see a demo). I contacted them for a price list anyway and got this reply:

Has anybody else had issues with their SS where it doesn't kick in?

Mine seems to only be working as and when it wants to with no obvious pattern.

I have no warning lights and as far as I can tell there should be no reason for it not to work as intended.

Hi guys, vx did a major service yesterday. Started the car and it struggled to fire up eventually it did. I put it down to maybe fuel needing purging or something like that.
Switch it off it starts fine.
Left the car for an hour and same thing took about 5 seconds to start.
Now I do still have the problem with glow plugs (don't know how much it will cost, anyone any ideas?) but it still started perfectly fine.
Anyone got any ideas what I can look for? I have a plan with warranty direct so wonder
