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, 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, Great to join the club. I own a small independent classic car garage in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales and I have for sale a 2004 Vectra 3.2 V6, FSH and just 3,800 miles on it with the car having covered 20-50 miles between MOT’s. I’ve attached some pics and docs fo you to take a look. If you are interested, please contact me at Marcross Cars 07596 106838. Geraint Lewis

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.

Hi all, Hopefully this has been fixed, or at least on track to getting it fixed The multiple errors come on after any fault code logging as a Confirmed fault. After quite abit of fault finding found the front of radiator flaps switch to be broken, the car mainly faulting when it was cold so don’t know if totally out of the woods. Mind was emissions related, car was trying to do a regen but couldn’t get to the correct temperature to finish cycle, now done until probably the next regen or when cold all seems ok. Trying to source new fount flap unit as broken. Fitting the new battery also improves matters. Will keep you all posted. Cheers Mark

Hi, I have had this problem for six months now, as previously mentioned the ABS sensors have been changed, bearings etc. Up until now nothing has worked, with still no 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.

Hi all. this is my first post. I have had similar problems. The car went in for brake disks change but the garage had difficulty getting the rear disk off. In the process they damaged the ABS sensor. I then got all the warning lights as mentioned above. A new ABS sensor didn't cure the problem but fitting a genuine Vauxhall one did clear most of the warning lights. The problem is I still have an engine warning light that wont reset. Error Code P1349. That's a MOT failure and It wont reset although the car seems to work perfectly. Any Ideas?

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)

ok so the problem is intermitantly the drivers controls for the windows wont work and when it starts to work again it only operates the drivers window but only if you drive the car for about 10 mins. i have had a few zafiras so straight to check the wiring and clean the switch no issues withg the wiring even through the rubber gaiter at the door and the switch is lovely and clean i even tried another switch but still no change. i have had a look at the BCU behind the glovebox under the aircon unit but cant see any obvious water damage. does anyone have any suggestions

Rear washer not working. Have filled water bottle and motor is working

Hi everyone, I thought I would introduce myself to you all as I think I have some interesting history with Vauxhall. Back in the late 1950/Early 1960 my father worked at the Vauxhall plant in Luton, not really sure what he did, but probably on the production line somewhere. My earliest recollection of the car he drove was a Bedford CA Dormobile, I don't know that much about it other than the Reg number of NEW641 and the memories of places we visited with this vehicle, believe me we did some miles in it. The next car he owned probably around 1966 was a truly fantastic car, The Vauxhall Cresta PA Estate reg number UPM70, what a lovely car that was. Next was the PC Cresta saloon, another work of art, then he purchased ( brand new) probably with staff discount a Viva Van, not quite sure what model HA or HB in white, as a second vehicle in the household, I do remember that he tought both my Mother and my eldest sister to drive in it. So as you can imagine there is a bit of Vauxhall in my blood, currently I own a VX220, and a Mavano van that has been converted to a Campervan and there have been many other Vauxhall's in-between, as well as some interesting history with a vauxhall dealer where I worked for a few years. Just a short taster of many years with Vauxhall, if anyone is interested send me a message and I'll get back to you. Thanks for reading this, all the best
