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 replaced my engine mount yesterday. I believe I've had my mileage out of it. It seems a little worn.

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

Hi, Hope this works for you. These lights been on for about 5 months for me now, it’s doesn’t matter whether it’s hot or cold, they are constantly on every time I start the car now, and have been for months. At the start it was more intermittent. At my wits end with it now, hope we can all find a solution.

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)

Hi there, there is a section on here that is solely for sales. Either vehicles or parts. If you stick some pictures and a price, there might be someone that may be interested.

Howdy! I am hoping someone will know what on earth is going on with my faithful 2013 Astra J 1.7CDTI SRI EcoFlex. It's starting to do something very weird after you try to restart the engine when it's hot. So for example in the video below id driven for 40 mins, stopped at a restaurant for about 30 mins and then tried to restart the car. If you leave your foot on the clutch the engine tries to start with a horrible clatter, then dies, then STARTS ITSELF! then dies, and repeats this process until eventually it starts. I have found flooring the throttle does seem to help make it start faster. There are no codes on my OBD2 scanner, and it does not happen every time, but is certainly worrying when it does. Does anyone have any idea? Youtube issue of issue

Occasionally when trying to start the car, I turn the key and nothing happens, no relays click. I remove the key reinsert it and sometimes it starts sometimes it takes numerous attempts. This usually happens in the morning first attempt and then usually ok that day, but not always.

Hi, Does anyone know the colour code for the bottom grey/silver part of the rear bumper? Crossland x 2019
