Hello everyone, I am seeking a source of SRi seat fabric to replace the square on the driver seat cushion. I am unsure of the name of the fabric but it is the grey with the wide diagonal pin stripe. I have tried finding replica fabric but not having any joy. Keeping a close eye out for donor parts, but I am wondering if anybody has a small supply of this fabric? Thank you for your help. Dan G

Hi recently bought a 2013 insignia diesel, this came with a compressor and puncture goo, but no spare. This I was not keen on so I bought a space saver wheel. So today I thought I would make sure the wheel would fit. I had also purchased the handbook as this was not in the car. The car in question has 19" wheels. The ground clearance under the sills is 4 1/2" front and 6 1/2" rear. I could not get a scissor jack to fit under the gap at the front and locate with the jacking points, the arms hit the sills before it located the jacking points. Also no trolley jack I have will also go under. This is with a tyre that is not punctured. I had to make a small wooden ramp to drive onto so I could get a trolly jack under. If I encounter a puncture on the road I recon the car would only be 2 1/2" above the ground. What does everybody else do to jack up their car?

2011 Meriva - intermittent loss of power steering, all warning lights on, alarm sounding & dash displaying code 68. This happened 3 months ago. Coolant tank was found to be leaking and was replaced. Once affected parts had dried out car was running as normal. But the same problem has just re-occurred. The new coolant tank is not leaking. Can anyone recommend an auto electrician in the North London area familiar with this particular Meriva issue

Probably a daft question but I will need to change my battery on my 71 plate crossland Sri and I'm concerned I can't find a code for my factory fitted infotainment system n my manual. I contacted vauxhall who say they don't have it on record Is it something that is needed ?

I have an Opel Zafira year 2000 which I ordered and owned from new. It was ordered from Holland with all the options available at the time and is still a very nice reliable car. The problem I have is it's a 1.6L with Brake drums on the back. You seem to be able to get all the replacement parts except the back plate that holds the piston and shoe assembly. This is very rusty and at a point where I would not like to do an emergency stop as large metal flakes are dropping off every time you touch it. Where can I get two replacements, as I have been told by all parts and factors company's that they are obsolete. Can you still get them? Or can the rear be easily converted to discs? I do not want to scrap this wonderful one of a kind car. I have a spare Zafira axle with discs and callipers attached, but I assume there is a brake pressure regulator, and the hand brake cable that needs changing. Help. Thanks

I have owned my very faithful Omega CDX 2.6 V6 automatic for sixteen years and my cousin for three years before. Unfortunately a suspected oil pump failure has resulted in a suspected big end knock. Before I send it to scrap yard heaven, does anyone know of any specialists Omega breakers who might be interested in salvaging parts for the few that are still out there on the road or in a collectors garage? She had quite a few new parts fitted in the last year and has five full size alloy wheels, two with new tyres a couple of weeks ago and two with new tyres last year, around 2000 miles wear. She would need picking up from Alton, Hampshire. I have been offered just under £300.00 for scrap so would be looking for offers of at least that, but I would rather see her recycled for spare parts. Please contact me for further details 07970496616. Frank Norris.

Hello everyone

Can I change from sensor glow plugs to standard ones in my insignia

My father recently purchased me a 2012 Meriva B It has an issue where the central locking will do 1 of 2 things: - Locking the doors will engage all locks around the car except the rear locks - Locking the doors will engage all locks around the car including the rear locks, but quickly after the rear locks disengage and become unlocked. I have had a google around and most issues around the rear doors seem to involve warnings on the dash but I do not get any issues. Any help would be appreciated.

Could you please show me where on my 2.0cdti engine is the (1)crankcase breather oil trap and (2)positive crankcase ventilation heater control are, many thanks

Ok
