  1. No it sounds like its a pad wear sensor wire but wonder if it has drifted over to the hub area ? Is it attached (e.g. can it be moved from its current location without any force)?
  2. That's definitely a cheap and effective way to cover it up Halfords probably do a range of reflectors that would cover it up
  3. It may be more prudent to find another screw of the same size rather than dismantling the boot area
  4. That part number does translate to the description you have given To reattach it may be worthwhile using some silicon sealant or glue on the end attaching the air box and then cable tie to a suitable place further down the pipe to avoid it detaching in the future
  5. Sounds like the code reader may not be fully interpreting the stored fault codes (wrong protocol being used)
  6. I would say that in general the Mokka is a good car but timing chains are vulnerable to wear and failure if oil changes aren't carried out regularly Hopefully you will get to enjoy it for many years
  7. There may be a fault with the intermittent wiper time relay Find out which one it is and see if it shows any signs of damage
  8. It sounds like it would be better on ramps as the vehicle will be sitting at the correct ride height (suspension loaded) when you go to torque the bolts
  9. It may be suggestion an upward gear change to improve the economy?
  10. thanks for updating us and glad you got a conclusion on the problem
  11. Feel free to post up an image on here if you wish?
  12. Hi....welcome to the Club Wow! that's rare ..... it would be interesting if someone does come back to say they also have one Feel free to post up some pics of the Astra if you want?
  13. Hi Ray A superb collection of rare manuals there I have moved this post to the For Sale section as possible more members will look there for manuals
  14. Hi Richard and welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!
  15. Maybe have to use a reset tool but if the sensors were of dubious source then this may be the issue
  16. Has any new bulbs been fitted lately? especially in the rear light units?
  17. That does sounds like a drama which you could do without If it is regenerating then the engine temperature usually increases but sometimes there are conditions that require fulfilling before regen can take place. For example; sufficient level of fuel, unaltered continuous speed for a minimum period of time, etc If any of these aren't being carried out (consult your handbook for specific conditions) then this may compromise the regen Also worth trying premium diesel fuel from a branded fuel station (BP, Esso, Shell, etc)
  18. I would consult your dealership parts department to see if they have revised it over time
  19. Thanks for letting us know what it was and hope you get it sorted at a reasonable cost
  20. That sounds like a brake pad wear sensor wire which they only usually fit to one side (in theory if the brakes are wearing evenly without any issues then its only needed one side - usually fitted to the inner pad)
  21. Too old to take back to dealers under warranty then. Maybe a battery reset could work to recalibrate the A/C system which sounds like its out of synch? Would consult the dealership or A/C specialist garage first though
  22. usually eBay for secondhand ones but could be buying another potentially faulty one
  23. Was going to suggest the fuel filter but as you've already done that then I would move to seeing if you can extract any fault codes from the ECU memory to see what the potential fault could be
  24. Good progress on the suspension Andy and I would also replace all the components while your in there as they are cheap enough and at least you know its all good for years to come
  25. You could try using poly bushes from somewhere like DemonTweeks who sell PowerFlex bushes and may have a listing for what you're after
