  1. Sounds like you have a valid claim if they advertised the vehicle sale with that as a sales benefit let us know how you get on with it
  2. I would first test the battery for deep discharge to see if it is still powerful enough to run the car If okay then move to the earth leads and check their connections from the battery to the chassis earths
  3. its possible but would help to isolate the noise exactly to know what component it is coming from
  4. struggling to visualise the rubber wheel have you got a picture of what it looks like?
  5. think it may be the expansion bottle overflow hose which allows coolant to expel into the bottle
  6. Maybe the sensors have been connected up wrong....have a look at two sensor near each other on the engine around the glow plugs area that may have been disconnected and reconnected wrong
  7. Incorrect type of bulb fitted?
  8. maybe cheaper and easier to replace with an aftermarket unit that will still function the same but have more features and easier to update try IceBoxAutos who do systems to fit your car https://www.iceboxauto.com/vauxhall-opel-insignia-2014-17-9-navi-carplay-android-auto-110-bt-dab-8core-dhg2976
  9. Not entirely sure, but if you have changed the coolant sensor then have a look at the radiator and see if there is another sensor as this may be a thermotime sensor for controlling the fan temperature and run time....although it may be too modern a car to have one but worth checking
  10. Hi....welcome to the Club Fine looking Insignia and glad you're enjoying it so far Worth checking with your local Vauxhall parts department who should be able to break down the VIN to see which model spec it is and makes it useful to identify parts required in the future
  11. You could have a faulty alternator which is causing the drain or not fully charging the battery A battery check with heavy duty discharge will determine if there is a fault there Also check your earth leads as these are often overlooked (leads, connections, etc)
  12. Sounds like a vacuum issue where no vacuum is being supplied to the brake servo. Check vacuum hose connections and also listen out for any hissing noises under the bonnet, also if there is a vacuum leak then the engine revs will be lumpy on tickover
  13. I would be looking at any earth connections and leads in the rear of the van to start with Clean the earth points or substitute some earth leads directly to the lamp unit(s) to see if that improves it
  14. Hi Phil....welcome to the Club Wow! haven't seen one of those in a very long time, unusual paint/roof combination, not seen one like that before (or if I have I've long forgotten it) Good to have you onboard!
  15. Hi.....welcome to the forum fire away with the questions and hopefully there will be a few (sensible) answers Good to have you onboard and fine looking Insignia
  16. Feel free to post up some photos of them if you would like to?
  17. Just make sure its got a good service history and all scheduled maintenance has been carried out to date
  18. always use eBay myself - there is a link to Vauxhall parts at the top of this page
  19. If it is working but the range has decreased then I don't imagine it is a resync that is needed but probably better quality fob batteries maybe?
  20. I believe it is an interference engine and would result in valve damage
  21. Is it a diesel engine with a turbo? If so then probably the turbo variable vanes are sticking with carbon and need cleaning through
  22. It takes a time for the average to settle down if you've just reset it
  23. I have used a Diesel Tuning Box with great results on a 2.2 Honda CR-V engine and should produce similar results that your looking for Try DTUK for their kit and reasonably priced as well
  24. I would imagine it would be a constant drain on the battery especially as the engine is switched off during the seat movement?
  25. Crankshaft or Camshaft sensor(s) possibly but would scan the ECU for any stored fault codes first to more precisely determine the cause
