Vauxhall Owners Club

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.....welcome to the Club Definitely keeping the love of Vauxhalls in the family and what a fabulous collection of Vauxhalls over the years. Some interesting registration numbers as well Feel free to post up some pics of the VX220 and the campervan if you wish Good to have you onboard!

Hello Grumpyliveshere ... welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Hi Geoff ... welcome to the Club Hope you find some answers in the forums to assist with your addiction Good to have you onboard!

Hi Radioray .... welcome to the Club Very useful set of skills you have and you are more than welcome to help out on answering any posts on the forum if you wish. Its unlike Honda's to suffer from engine failure they always been so damn reliable Good to have you onboard!

If in doubt drop it into a tyre bay and they should be able to advise and possibly reset it for you while you wait

Ebay may be your best bet as can deliver to you in France There is a discount code at the top of this page https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=vauxhall+nova+steering+rack&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4582968.m570.l1313

very rare indeed - cannot remember the last time i saw one

There may be some air trapped in the cooling system Pop it back to the garage who changed the housing and I'm sure it will only take them a minute or so to expel the air

sounds like one of the door switches is faulty and the system believes one of the doors is open. Try opening each door in turn and see if the interior light comes on and goes out after a short period When you find one that neither switches the light on or off then there is the problem Don't forget also the tailgate as this will also affect the central locking

It does sound like it needs to have a constant clear out of the carbon build up in the EGR, DPF and Turbo. Carbon builds up in town driving and only really has a chance to clear when the power is applied. When a DPF regenerates it produces smoke and you will also notice the engine temperature may rise. This is normal and needs to occur more frequently to keep the DPF clean otherwise it will cost a fortune to clean or replace

This may help

Sorry to hear the engine has expired You are welcome to place an advert in the For Sale section of this forum to see if there are any interested buyers

Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard

It would certainly be a desirable car for a younger driver and worth trying to advertise it on Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace You are also welcome to post a for sale advert in this forum and see if it gets any interested buyers
