Clunking noise when driving - Unsual one tho???
Hey guys on my Astra gtc I am noticing that sometomes hen pull off sharply and when u turn the wheel left going in forward or reverse it can clunk also.

Now when I have had this in for service or MOT they have mentioned it to me but can never seem to tell me where it's coming from making me wonder if the usual aspects of front shock , top mounts etc are not the usual culprit here. Has anyone else had this issue?

Any ideas would be great thanks.

Strange feeling when testing foot in drivers footwell
So when driving I rest my foot on the rest bar & every know and then I can feel the steering wheel through it (sounds daft but I genuinely can) the steering wheel also makes a weird sound occasionally like a piece of leather being twisted.

Only done this since a mate changed my oil filter by just jacking the car up & going in via driver side wheel.

Think he's knocked something?

Jolt when releasing brake on autobox
Hi, I have a 2012 Astra Elite 2.0 CDTI auto which I've had for a month.

When releasing the brake after holding at traffic lights or stop start traffic etc, the car jumps forward as if it is late in engaging drive again.

It seems to disengage drive slightly when held in D (I notice a slight change in revs and less pressure on the car to move forward), and when releasing the brake to pull away, there's a real jolt as it takes up drive, before I press on the accelerator. If I notice a slight

Flapping Sound when driving.
Hello Everyone,

I do have an Hatchback Astra J 2015 1.4NET with auto transmission. 

I did detected a flapping noise like as you are driving something stick on the tires or it sounds like there is some lines on the road and you are passing on them. 

I know it's a very low chance find this kind of a sound issue without hearing it but I'm out of ideas to tell to service to check. 

So I made below checks and fixes: 

- When I first noticed the sound I re-balanced the summer tires on th

Morning all, wondering if somebody could please shed some light

Had my car sitting at work for 9 hours yesterday and when I started it I heard a 2 second ish rattle/squeek which I'm unaware of and this has never happened before.

Car won’t start when cold
Hi, I’m new to the forum, never really had to ask for help as everything’s on here but I have a problem I can’t find an answer to. I have a 2010 2.0D Astra J that won’t start when it’s cold. Initially I thought it was the battery and have replaced that. I then changed the glow relay and plugs and I’m still having trouble when it’s cold. It will start with easy start (I know I shouldn’t use it in a diesel) but after using that it will continue starting all day until the engine gets cold again. I

Coolant light coming on when coolant is full (new sensor and no leaks) baffling me!
Hi everyone,

So randomly a couple of weeks ago I got "coolant level low" light on. So I topped it up a little. It came on again so I added a little more to the point that it's on or over where it should be. The error keeps popping up but it will disappear after 10-20 seconds.

[color=#ffffff][size=small]I've checked and there are no leaks and the coolant isn't going down at all. I've replaced the coolant sen
