Thanks so much Jay. The Vauxhall service ran the diagnostics today and tried to update it themselves.£160 for the privilege and they didn't get the part in. They say it's goosed and needs replacing. Now got to wait till 28th April. You really couldn't make this up! Almost £1300 for replacement, labour and vat. I will go after Vauxhall. Worth paying £100 for solicitors letter if it makes them realise I'm serious. I really appreciate the information you've given me.

How do I fit the nearside window glass not fitting properly

Hoping so. Haven't took her out yet,as doing lots of the little Jobs I've been putting off. Next o the list is front wheel bearing as lost all gauges.

Yes you definitely need to register the new battery, I got my local garage to do this, then in takes a day or so to learn the ECU Try to buy same spec battery or you will have to charge pram file if option available for your new battery as well as telling car new battery fitted, Just buy same for same it’s less hassle.

My folding cup holder in the centre consle won't go back into the flush upright position. Any fixes.?

Might be worth trying an impact gun (pneumatic or battery) which will spin the nuts off

if you take it to a dealer they should be able to identify it and provide a new one

I have this code 68 come on every so often but I've noticed if I park in gear without handbrake (electric handbrake) the code doesn't come on the next time I start the car however when applying handbrake the starting the car code 68 I had the car scanned diagnostics and code U0121-00 is displayed not this is the handbrake failing to engage with the car and ideas where to start sort out handbrake module or power steering code 68

Hi I'm having the same issue did you manage to sort this?

for sale astra convertible 2002 Engine 2.2 manual gearbox Log book says its grey . To me looks more like silver with a blue tint and pearl .( ideally reqs a respray ) 90k mileage Reason for sale moving to thailand .. Car is in eastbourne east Sussex Email me ldgautos@mail.com

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of doing maintenance on the astra. I am going to do a coolant flush and refresh, and also sort out the egr system. Does the coolant work with the egr, as I've noticed that the heater pipes are connected to the pipework from egr. And would having a clogged coolant system cause the egr to misbehave? Thanks in advance Andy

Hello, can anyone please help me to find out this wheel lock nut key code. Thank you

It has happened again, once more on entering a roundabout. It would not restart in either Park and Neutral. So what happened last time must have been coincidental. I left it for 15 minutes and tried again. It started and ran normally for the rest of the journey.

The cable appears to be on back order with Vauxhall at the moment. Does anyone know of an alternative ?

It sounds like there may be some light bleeding through from another part of the dash area (such as illumination for the alarm status lamp, possibly)
