Car pulling to the right
I have had the tracking done on my astra gtc and the garage says it drives straight. But it still pulling really bad to the left when the wheel is straight. They said the back wheels was out of line. They said they have done the best they can. Surely the car should drive straight if your wheel is straight.just wonder if any one has had the same problem. Car has 25k on the clock. Thanks for help.

HOW-TO DPF WARNING LED
[align=center]How-to DPF warning LED.

You must understand that the way this works means that if you turn on your rear demist the LED will turn on also and that you would have to turn it off to see if a DPF regen is taking place. 

Ok the first thing you need to do is get a 12v LED like below.

Hi ! 

I am new to the forum (and just bought a Astra J 2.0 CDTI S/S 2013 as well! ) and have been looking at some of the modding threads - 


I am looking to buy pedal box and tuning boxes - just wondering if anyone can give some advice at this stage ? 


I also have a paint chip already :O  - looking to touch up the paint myself possibly and installing some rear parking sensors :(

Use SharkFin for GPS/DAB to GPS/FM/AM anubody?
I have purchased the oem sharkfin for GPS/DAB as I have the normal aerial on the my GTC now.

I have bought duppel Fakra connections and extra wires with fakra male/female and connection for GPS aerial on headunit as I have RoadCommander, like Icebox etc., unit instead of the factory CD400. And I want the factory look.
I know on factoty fit navi cars, the FM/AM aeriel was built in the rear tailgate. But that is not an option to make or is it?

How-to disassemble airbag
[Image: http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w301/...5fce57.jpg]



[align=center]I decided to make this how-to in case someone wants to change steering wheel badge or replace it with a new one if damaged. You don't have to buy a new airbag, you just need to replace the front plastic cover. Swapped covers a month ago and it is a pretty easy job. The hardest part is to source the plastic cover.

Ok, first remove airbag. For removing airbag see here: [url=https://www.vxoc.org.uk/foru

From an Astra, to a Corsa, and back to an Astra?
I've been on here for quite a while now having owned a 2013 Astra last year. It was my first car and although I liked it, I couldn't justify the insurance once I passed my test  Fast forward to March and I sold it for a brand new Corsa Limited Edition. The downside being in the time that I have owned it I've had to take it back for peeling paint, seats ripping and constant error messages. The fit and finish compared to the Astra is really quite poor. Upside is the insurance is almost half

Carpet impossible to vacuum
Is it just me or is the inside carpet, both in cabine and boot, impossible to vacuum properly.. especially the flexfloor is hard.
 
Every thing sticks to the carpet. I had a Vectra C OPC before and the carpet was very different and a lot easier to vacuum and get clear.. 

The carpet also feels a lot cheaper and not what you would expect in a newish car... It feels like something you would use for selfmade subwoofer cabinet.


I vacuum my car every week and also use rubber floormats in the

How to use g4 led instead of t20...
Hello,
I made t20 led using 12v g4 led. The g4 led is used for home lighting. G4 led is 12v and 2 watts. I will try to explain how I do it.

I soldered 2 pieces of copper wire to + side. I soldered 1 pieces of copper wire to eksi side.

Then I used the piece of the old t20 LEDs. I connected the positive cables in parallel and there was no error in the car.
