sounds like the air conditioning is coming on and the revs will go up to compensate for the drag on the engine from the Air Con compressor

Any update on this situation yet? Surprised that they will not honour a warranty issue as you bought it through a Vauxhall dealership so they are liable in my opinion.

Have you managed to discover the cause of this issue yet? Wondering if it is battery strength being low on start up and invoking the alarm or relays to become active and when AC kicks in the that is more drain on the battery?

Just had a look around online and cannot find anything with that engine spec I'm sure it must be used on other engine ranges but varying part numbers suggest they are all different in some way

I urgently need to find a 5 stud front wheel hub, passenger side. my mot runs out mid January, does anyone have one or know where I can get one?

Update… Mechanic has tried changing abs sensors and bearings, loads of different parts.. The problem has still not been sorted. Anyone got a solution for this??? Thanks in advance.

Hi MylieMc, I have just been looking online, and have found the meaning of your code. You only go by the first 4 numbers, so yours is 1010. 1 = MFG Manufacture Specific. 0 =Fuel and Air Metering. 1 = Low Coolant Circuit 0 = Transmission Engaged at High Throttle Angle. It also states that P1010 is Foot Throttle Signal is Out of Range, IVS not changing. Reading on, it is suggesting to check throttle connections are fully connected. Or that the pins might need cleaning. Which could also cause a short . Might be worth checking all the wiring to throttle pedal, and any other wiring connections nearby. Hope this is of help. Keep us informed of how you get on with sorting it. Regards Andy.

Hi sounds like what I’m looking for, I’ve got a 1994 20i Carlton estate that needs a tank.

Can anyone help me, I’m looking for a petrol tank for my 1994 20i Carlton estate

Hi AndyR Just had the same issue if no noise coming from water pump it sounds good check your thermostat just changed mine and it gets up to temp a lot quicker and sits nicely between 88⁰-92⁰ hope this helps all the best.

vauxhall crossland 69 plate 19k on clock just been serviced never happened before but when running cold after about 5mins driving engine cuts out with warning lights on dashboard saying low oil pressure stop car immediately new oil pump fitted Nov 23 by vauxhall this only happens now and again when running at temperature engine running ok

I have had issues with the motors before as they are cheaply (and badly) manufactured in China and kept packing up Have replaced resistor packs as well and the is a wiring modification for a new plug so not sure if this may be a cause?

I have a Vauxhall Vectra , Elite Auto Estate , 2198cc , petrol . 2008 . I am looking for a fuel pressure sensor .

Help needed please . I have a Vauxhall Vectra Elite Auto Estate .Petrol car . 2198cc . 2008 . I desperately am trying to find a fuel pressure sensor .

Sold for £600

the other day i was driving along at about 70mph and the temp gauge was normal, then all of a sudden the temp gauge shot straight up into the red, and the engine was running like a bag of sh-te. i pulled into the side of the road, and called the AA, while i was waiting for them to come, i noticed the EML light was on, i had my dongel plugged in and my app on my phone ,and i read the stored codes, i think it said something about exhaust gas temp high, i cleared the codes and started the car and it ran fine, and temp gage was normal. When the AA man came he said the car went into regen and the sensor didnt like it, he said it was a common fault with Insignias, and there is a software upgrade that would sort this. Does anyone have any info on this. thanks

Thanks for providing us with feedback and helpful for any members who are in the same situation. Cannot believe the dealers didn't pick up on this, but always good to know a decent independent garage who can solve issues like this

Sounds like it could be the fuse is slightly loose in the fusebox but more likely wiring issue. The wipers sounds like the linkage has detached itself and would need to remove the arms and plastic panel to access the linkage to reattach or replace it More than likely is the window switch or wiring to the door that is the issue

Thanks for sharing with us and hopefully it can find a good home shortly. If you could share some more details such as a contact number and a photo then it may attract more views.

Antifreeze change is definitely worth doing this time of year and reminds me I must soon get round to changing on my own cars (and bike)

Hi mate I'll be happy to share some photos when I have it, the dealers have contacted me this weekend and I will be picking it up this coming Friday and I'm trying to not think about it being Friday 13th lol.

Hello, I have to dismantle my BCM on a Meriva B - I managed to disconnect all the connections on its front panel but then impossible to separate it from the metal plate on which it is fixed, even after pushing the tab where it is fixed to the right. inserts its little lug. If someone could tell me what I'm missing, that would help me greatly!!! THANKS!
