Well i replaced the hub assembly, and yes i got all my gauges back. Went to try to check speedo works, and found battery didn't have enough to start the car. so after a good charge, i put battery back. Car started first pull, but i have no gauges, and no speedo and rev counter again. Any ideas would be appreciated thanks.

That's a nice looking beast you have there. Not my favorite colour, but it does make it stand out.

Hi there Johndoh. Welcome to the forum. I am sure you will find lots of interesting stuff on here. Feel free to post any questions you might have. And if you've had an issue that you've managed to sort yourself, you can share your knowledge. Regards Andy.

Well here's an update on wheel bearing and speedo. When I fitted the new bearing the other day, I had all gauges working. The car has sat on the drive for a couple of days due to a flat battery. Got her going this morning, and all gauges are not working again. Temp gauge sits twitching, but no other movement. If anyone had any ideas of the next step. Please please help me. Can't get mot until this problem is fixed.

Hi folks. Stonham Barns is holding Vauxfest again this year. But this year they are allowing club stands too. If anyone is interested in attending the details are to follow.

Set about the wheel bearing today. All sorted and I have my gauges back working g. Can't check speedo yet as battery flat. But will be checking over the brakes and then will see about booking the mot. I have a feeling the bearing had seen better days.

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.

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 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.

Hi there, have you had any diagnostics on your Agila. I wonder if maybe you need to get the EGR valve checked. My Astra throws up the EML when EGR is playing up.

Welcome to the forum. Feel free to post pics of your car. If you need any advice on your Corsa, there is always someone who could help.

Hi Mick, I did wonder about the hub on left front, as I have a feeling bearing is on its way out. Its the only wheel with a wire to it, as my car doesn't have abs fitted. I have had intermittent problems with the speedo since I first bought car, it would play catch up every so often. I will check with a multi meter, but I think it will be a new hub though. Thanks for your help.

Hi all, here's a new one. My astra g auto was running fine coming home from getting fuel earlier. It stalled on me at a couple of junctions and started straight away. Then I noticed all my clocks were no longer working. Temp gauge sits there twitching. Any ideas as to cause and a fix would be highly appreciated.

That's definitely a nice looking beast. Was being auto a personal choice? My 02 Astra I auto, and I love it.

Welcome to the club, I bet you've noticed the difference in performance. Hope you enjoy your Astra.

Welcome to the club. You don't see many Omega's about nowadays. Hope you have many happy miles driving her.

Hi there HYMERPETE. Welcome to the forum, and its nice to have you on board. I see that you are quite local to me, you're one side of thetford, and I'm the other.

I'm probably going to put a jinx on it, BUT!!!... The clock is behaving itself at last. Touch wood, its been holding the right time for nearly a month. And all i have done is reset it.

Welcome back Dunny. Yes the site can nearly always help out with any questions that you might have about your Astra . Feel free to add some pictures when you get a chance, sounds like a nice motor. Regards Andy

Welcome to the forum Barry. It is a nice example you have there. Hope you have many years of happy motoring and enjoyment.

Pleased to meet you too Phil. Nice to hear that you've turned to home maintenance, it certainly can work out cheaper in the long run, and you get the satisfaction of knowing that you managed to tackle that awkward lock, or replacing those worn out brakes. I have always done my own work, it might sometimes take longer than a garage would. But it gets done at a steady pace.

I just take it steady, and let the old girl build up speed steadily, rather than caning it. She'll plod along quite happily at 60/65mph, and around my local roads I'll average a max of about 50mph, as it's all country lanes and full of farm vehicles. But when I do get out on main roads then I will 65-70. Always a smooth build up.

Hi there Richard. To manually open your boot, you need to climb in from the rear seats. Once you get in to the luggage area you need to look for a small hole near to the latch. By inserting a screwdriver into the hole, you can then release the boot. Apparently this is a common fault, and the release button will need to be replaced. I did a google search, and it came up with a couple of videos on YouTube that show you how to do all that I have described. Hope this helps, and you get it all sorted. Regards Andy
