Weird burning smell and fan on 100%
Hey guys and girls just thought I would post looking for some advice.  Got a 2010 Astra j Sri with 35k on the. Lock and recently I've been having a service vehicle soon message pop up more frequently. Tried a mate's code reader but I don't believe it was up to much as it didn't find anything. This coincides with sometimes the engine fan is on 100% at hot and cold start.

Has this happened to anyone else? I get a sort of burning smell in the vents at times also.

Not really even sure where

Weird electical fault
Hi there,

Would really appreciate some help with this one, my Astra J has developed a weird electrical fault. Most of the exterior lights have stopped working except for the middle brake light and high beams, the interior lights have stopped, the central locking, fans and rear window washer as well. This all happened at the same time, I get lights on the dash saying that I need to check the bulbs but that doesn't make sense with everything stopping at once. I've had it to a couple of garages

weird motor sound Astra J 1.4 turbo
Hi all
I am quite new at this forum, so this is my first poost and I hope not break any rules.
In the last days I noticed my Astra is making some weird noise. It seems there is some broken piece inside and quite often creates this `crack` sound. 
The car is an ASTRA J 1.4 turbo 140cv with 67.000km
I want able to attach the video, but I share a google drive link where you can watch and hear the noise.
