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

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

Will do. Just waiting for the bearing to turn up. And then the fun will begin. Done the engine coolant flush yesterday, so that's another box ticked. I'm getting there slowly.

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.

Well hello there.

Hi the names Geoff, I recently bought 14 plate mereva and will need help in dealing with this addiction thanks for reading Geoff

That's for accepting me to the club. Just brought a insignia ecoflex 2.0 cdti 2015, as a quick replacement as my honda as it lost compression on No2 cylinder and would cost too much to fix after 15 years I had it. I have had several corsa in the past for my boys but that was several year's ago now. I do nearly all my own maintenance and repairs. I have a good set of garage tools and a good engineering workshop to support all my activities including making or repairing tools. I'm pretty adapt at sorting electrical problems as well. Regards Raymond

i had this same problem it turned out to be the slave cylinder

I have an Astra G estate 1.6 Twinport 2004. I have recently updated this to a 2015 model. I want to sell the car to someone who can benefit from all the parts on the car which has been pretty much maintained regardless of expense. Maintenance has used only authentic parts or OEM upgrades such as Bilstein, Monroe and Brembo. I have a spreadsheet available detailing all replaced parts and consumables. I had to change car as 2 of the cylinders need new rings. It even has a premium Kenwood DAB+ & Bluetooth Stereo. Can anyone suggest where I might offer the vehicle, which still drives, for sale? Thanks

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.

This vehicle was purchased by me new in 1986. It had a new roof in 2023, new brake discs and pads 2023, a partial respray in 2016 and sundry remedial work 2024. It has approx. 58,000 miles on the clock. Can anyone please suggest a good selling site for this car. It has MOT until November 2025.

My basic boat trailer board does not have any fog lights. Just side + brake + indicators. Connecting the 2 rear indicators was easy enough but I could not find the correct indicator wires on the loom near where I positioned the relay. I ran a wire for each indicator from the rear lights.The left hand side was a short run but with right hand side I ran the wire forwards and then turned left behind rear seats up to the new relay, tie-wrapped to cars wiring loom. Hope this info helps. Dave
