a very nice day out at the severn valley railway event. the car was amongst other marques and had great attention. i intend to do as many local classic car meets as i can, they are very interesting to me. best regards keith

hi everyone, thankyou for letting me join the club. my vehicle, which i recently bought is 1936 dx light 16 tickford. it really is the tops and i can't wait to put it about. some pictures for you. best regards keith

Hello VOC, I've just signed up to the forum as I presently own a 2007 Vectra C 1.8 vvt SRi having bought it in Nov 22 with 61,000 miles on the clock. This is my first Vectra but I'm by no means new to Vauxhall having owned the following - Astra Mk2 1.8 GTE and 2.0 16v GTE. Cavalier Mk2 1.8 CDi 5 door,1.8 SRi 4 door,2.0 SRi 4 door,2.0 SRi130 5 door and Calibre. Cavalier MK3 2 x 1.6GL 5 door,1.6LS 4 door ,1.8LS 5 door,2.0 SRi 5 door,2 x GSi2000,SRi16v Redtop 4 door,SRi16v Ecotec 5 door. The majority of the above I modified some mildly and others extensively. As for me I live in Scotland and drive HGVs for living. In my mid 40s apart from a huge passion for cars,owning and driving but as much modifying and rebuilding (Not just Vauxhall but Fords from the late 60s to early 90s OR in other words pre Mondeo,Escorts up to and inc MK3s,especially mk3 in fact,MKi Fiestas,all Capris,Cortinas and Sierras. In fact,I've a large history of Ford ownership too) but I also have played guitar for a long time,love history and much more. Bob

Hi mate I completely forgot about sharing my photos of my new Corsa ultimate and I also went for the 130 turbo!!........ it's like it's been given a steroid injection

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.

Seller / Garage changed the battery and all resolved

hi everybody, what a terrible day for a car meet, consequently quite a few cars never turned up, only the hardy or nutters. still there was some good stuff there with my tickford being easily the oldest and well received. hope the next meeting is a little more weather friendly, i'm not sure where that may be. best regards from a wind blown and wet keith

Hi all, I'm Danny. Just got myself an Astra Coupe 15 years after my first one! Had 2 Corsa B's when I was younger before a Europa Blue Astra Coupe.

Hi PJL, we have the 2013 Meriva and expected Bluetooth but it is not present on our model. There is a 'Phone' option on the control module but, similarly, not Bluetooth device to connect to or option in the controls. I purchased the below USB/3.5mm dongle from Amazon for £12 and it works great. Plugs in low in the console towards the gearstick and plugs into the Aux 3.5mm jack. After pairing your phone once, just press the 'Aux' button to switch to your phone for music or calls. Hope this works for you.

Just posting pic of our Tigger plus wondering what the blue bit is we found in the parcel shelf. It doesn't seem to fit anywhere

hi everybody, an absolute fabulous assortment of cars, something for most people, but the lack of vauxhall cars is a bit dissapointing. only two others there. the old and the new, couldn't tell you what the white one is, some rocket ship by the look of it. best regards keith

hi everyone, very good, marvelous assembly of classic cars at the midland bus museum, 120 plus vehicles for the coffee and chrome meet. the dx drew good attention and the classic car weekly was there photographing it and wanting to know everything about it. looking forward to the next meet, bank holiday monday, chaddesley corbet village, 250 cars expected. getting used to the various foibles of the car now, steering wonder, double declutching, and i did a hand signal today!!!!!! best regards keith

Thank you very much for all your correspondence, I checked for miles or Kilometres, you were correct it was Kilometers, went back to garage and said to them as they put kilometre reading in miles on the MOT, they reset it to miles and now are going to inform DVLA about the error, I also am going to write to DVLA as it's on my MOT I'd done 34000 miles more than I had, was convinced the odometer was faulty, what an idiot I feel, now back to miles now, Thank you so much for your help much appreciated.

Hello everyone, thought I'd join here. I currently have a 2003 Astra Convertible Edition 100. I am also here to try and trace the owner of my fathers old 1939 Vauxhall 12/4 I type deluxe, Reg JPA171. Here are a few pics

Just a quick hello. I used to be a member of this forum years ago when I had an Omega Elite. The interaction there was great, I did all the work on the car myself and there were loads of guys that really knew their stuff. I'm hoping there will be some people who know lots about the Insignia VXR as I've got some issues to fix and there is not very much technical documentation on the internet, or to buy for that matter!

I have had quite a few vauxhalls over the years the latest a meriva B. previously owned Viva HB, Opel Ascona 1.6 , Opel Manta GTE , Opel Mant 2.0 Sr, Frontera 2.4 LWB Frontera 2.0 swb frontera B RS frontera B limited, frontera B Olympus, Vectra 2.0 di astra 2.0 diesel and 1.7. So brought up with all the challenges

Absolutely spot on, vacuum filled the system, got circulation flow back to the header...ran the motor for about 10 mins then the fan went off...no head damage either!!

I have owned my very faithful Omega CDX 2.6 V6 automatic for sixteen years and my cousin for three years before. Unfortunately a suspected oil pump failure has resulted in a suspected big end knock. Before I send it to scrap yard heaven, anyone interested in salvaging parts for the few that are still out there on the road or in a collectors garage? She had quite a few new parts fitted in the last year and has five full size alloy wheels, two with new tyres a couple of weeks ago and two with new tyres last year, around 2000 miles wear and the spare is about half worn. She would need picking up from Alton, Hampshire. I have been offered just under £300.00 for scrap so would be looking for offers of at least that, but I would rather see her recycled for spare parts. It will need picking up by trailer/transporter from GU34 Mileage 109263. Colour Silver. New windscreen fitted July 2024. Hardly any rust. MOT 16/6/2025. Reg PF53UEU.

Hi everyone. I’ve had my insignia B for 2 days now and I love it. It drives and holds the road well. I’m so happy with it. A few things I’d like to change in it just to make it look better.

Hi folks, just another new member here...name's Phil Bought my 2011 SRi VX line Sports Tourer when it was 6 months old and still have it and it's been mainly trouble free coming up to 102,000 miles. Used to take it to the garage to get serviced but have learnt to do that myself and also have tackled brakes, EGR valve cleaning and a couple of known issues like boot lid switch etc. Worst so far was a Stabilitrak error so changed the ABS sensor but it turned out to be the ring inside the hub, so changed the hub. Changed gearbox oil this morning and aligned the linkage for the first time whilst I was waiting for the oil to go in, gear changes were getting a little harder so hopefully not the start of something major Anyhow, pleased to meet you folks.

Hi Paul I find if your doing 58mph our above it will change into 6th gear if that helps

Could try getting the wheels balanced, can't feel anything through the steering though. Yes, I think it's going to be trial and error. Thanks for replying.

I hope no one minds me intruding (I’m a member of the Ford classic Consul/Zephyr/Zodiac club!) but I can see from my house a Victor from about 1963 or 64 which was under cover for at least 35 years but is now standing out with a For Sale notice on it. It doesn’t look perfect by any means but I’m sure somebody could have a go at making it as good as new and it’s a shame, now that it’s outside, for it to just fall to bits. It’s in Ponteland, Northumberland. I don’t have any further details, though I’m sure I can get them if anyone needs them, and I’m not sure that I can post a photo with me only being a visitor on the forum. If you need details try an email - captaingjohnson@gmail.com Let’s hope someone can give it a home.

Thank you mate. I must admit that I am going to leave well alone, if its not broke, don't fix. I have re-connected the sensor, and unless I get a problem with it, I'm leaving it well alone too. Just need to do a complete coolant flush now, as it seems a bit cruddy. Have fresh anti-freeze at the ready.

Hi everyone I have ordered a new 2024 facelift corsa and should be collecting any week now before Christmas and need a bit of help. I saw on sone other owner forums that people had issues with thier 23-24 plate facelift Corsa and Astras missing the ultimate badging and sills. It does state in Corsa brochure 130bp models only which is the model I ordered so I should have them. Has anyone else had the same issue as I don't know what they even look like so I cant see what I'm looking for if I need to ask the dealers if they are missing when I collect it. I can't even see anything on the review videos of 130bp model I have watched so will I actually get some kind of limited addition badging as the 130bp engine option isn't on their latest brochure stating effective Dec 3rd 24-25 only the 100bp options!? Does this also mean they have stopped to manufacture the 130np petrol engine option and therefore will be a rare car if this is the case? Plz help Regards Aaron

Bit late in replying, but if you are still after a replacement auto gear shift lever then contact a Jocko Murchie on Facebook. I know that he has one available and that quality will be good and he can be trusted as I have bought stuff from him before.

Good Evening, I have just found this Group, and am looking forward to getting to know fellow Vauxhall enthusiasts I am the proud owner of a 2003 Vauxhall Omega 2.6 v6 CDX Estate / Wagon. I'll pop up some photos when I have a spare mo.......

Hello does any one have a heat shield available or know where I can get one ?!? Thx very much ! Jai

Fixed, got bolt direct from dealership. Part number attached in case anyone gets into the same situation.

hi everyboby, and a very nice show it was to, with many sublime vehicles there, something for everyone. car of the show was that little austin chummy van, well deserved. i don't really know how you can choose one over the other as my favourite car there was an austin 16. truly truly spectacular alround. but of course it's down to the individual. it was very iffy in the weather department with rain in the air making us put the roofs up but it never came to much. suprise, suprise there was another vauxhall there, a cresta in really good nick, would like to see more vauxhalls!! next meeting is a local one at claverdon, second sunday in the month, i'll be there. best regards keith

Hi I'm looking for a cascada elite automatic not in black to replace my tigra semi automatic only do about 4,000 miles per year so any advice on which would be the best model greatly appreciated thanks Andy

This is my cavalier. My Dad bought it nearly new in '95 and it has been sat since around 2004. It will need a lot of work to become roadworthy, as it is quite rusty and will need servicing. It is a '93 LS 1.7D (Non turbo Opel engine, If I remember rightly it has the lucas fuel pump). The engine runs well but needs a service. It is going to be quite challenging to get it roadworthy again but it is a nice, reliable car so it will be worth it in the end. VID_20230225_155206.mp4

Hello to all, new member here with a Crossland diesel

@Isla could this be the answer

suggest it might be fault could have been clocked or mileage adjusted at some time. worth getting help from vauxhall dealer

MOT'd till October, 106k, I have owned this car since 2008, only selling now as I have had to buy an estate for the dog. The car has been maintained regardless of cost over those years and runs perfectly, highlights include: - Timing chain replaced at around 65k. - Traction control switch fitted with all OE parts - Chris Tullet Tubular 4to1 exhaust manifold. - Stainless steel cat back exhaust (Scorpion). - Ported / polished throttle body. - GSI rear arch spats - Uprated / lowered Eibach springs. - Pioneer head unit, Pioneer speakers front (separates) and back. - EGR deleted. Now for the bad points: - Air con pump seized, replacement will be included. - Small dent in bonnet, superficial and easy repair. - small hole in exhaust downpipe flexi joint. - 1 boot hinge needs repair. Apart from the above minor issues the car is in great shape, I have tried to list everything and be as honest as possible, I am not desperate to sell the car so please don't make any silly offers.

Superb figure to achieve.....well done Andy

My zafira 1.4 turbo sri 2015 ,was diagnosed with fuel problems by rac my garage have now recommended change to e5 ,hope that's curerd my problems .

I'm selling my 280bhp vxr vectra based in Farnborough Hampshire, I have had the cam chains (water pump etc) changed by nick Lloyd about 4 ISH years ago it has 143999 miles on the clock, I get it serviced every year, I have recently changed the dmf and clutch, the radiator and thermostat and housing has been replaced recently as well, it has a new battery, the MOT runs out in December. Bad points the wheels have been scuffed/kerbed because it has done many a school runs and the front fogs are not working because I don't Use them and it's not a MOT failure. The bodywork is in good condition but could do with a good colour correction polish and the interior is ok. I have some history and the v5 and two keys. Oh yes it's currently on winter tyres what could do with replacing, I have 4 Michelin that I took off and you can have them if you want but I'm sure we could negotiate this into an offer. Thanks for your time and if I can answer your question I will or at least try.

Had the water pump off to be sure theres nothing wrong there, all is good, whilst at it ive found a bleed screw on the radiator, so at least i know my radiator is full, however i have still not been able to bleed the system fully, So the next thing is to buy a Vacuum refill kit so i can make sure there no air in the system as i fill it up.... really cant believe all the trouble im having!!!

Hi....welcome to the Club I would think there is a small hole in the intercooler or hose/pipe coming from the turbo Usually a rubber hose creates a rasping sound but a small hole in any solidly constructed components can emit a whistle. Alternatively, it is worth cleaning the turbo and also check for float on the shaft and condition of the compressor as you look into the exposed end of the turbo. Try IceBoxAutos for replacement audio system and they are based in Liverpool so not too far away from you Liquid Moly is a great product and have used it for years in engines and never had an issue
