  1. Seems like these errors relate to coding issues and/or CanBus communication errors. You may have to dig a lot deeper with some more serious diagnostic equipment to come up with more information. However, if the battery condition is poor and the charge level low then this could result in the Power Steering fault you describe, maybe replacing the battery if needed will resolve this issue
  2. Here's a link to some on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=vauxhall+corsa+c+rear+brake+disc+shields&_sacat=131090
  3. How did you get on with removing the mirror cap?
  4. Did you get this problem resolved yet?
  5. only other thing it can be is the wiring to either the coil or the injector Inspect the wiring and the plugs onto each component for security, damage or corrosion Alternatively, see if swapping the components to another cylinder puts the fault onto that cylinder instead
  6. Try this link for eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=vauxhall+grandland+raised+boot+floor+cover&_sacat=131090
  7. Sounds like a very rare car indeed and hindsight is a wonderful thing (i wished i had kept half the cars I owned over the years). Obviously the Police force then went over to Ford cars for cost reasons I would imagine. I think the 2.6 was the European 'Opel' engine range but would have been more tuneable than the 3.0 litre possibly?
  8. You could get a specialist pipe company (such as Hyphose) to make one up (usually a huge amount cheaper than the dealer)
  9. Let us know how it all goes Nathan
  10. The timing chain wouldn't necessarily need replacement if it has had regular oil changes and is not making any rattling noises on start up or when running
  11. Immediate thoughts are there is a short circuit somewhere, either wiring going to the Throttle Actuator or the assembly itself. Inspect the wiring and plug to the unit and then ensure that the actuator is moving freely (may be seized hence the buzzing noise)
  12. Try this company. https://catman.co.uk/
  13. The trouble with cooling systems is that once you fix a leak the pressure then goes to the next weakest point so potentially it could have gone within the engine (you don't state whether petrol or diesel engine - different tests for each one to determine if engine is leaking internally). I would definitely start with replacing the Coolant Pressure Cap as if this is weak then the pressure drops and can lead to higher temperatures which boil off the coolant and also to allow air to enter the cooling system. Very cheap and easy part to replace to start with the diagnostic process. From there I would go with a pressure test to see if the pressure drops within the system and also to see if it is leaking externally under pressure. After that then it is a case of internal engine investigation but even then this can be done without too much dismantling of components
  14. It is quite ambiguous as the answers I have found state between 60k to 100k miles but they all do state 5 years as the key time to change the cambelt
  15. Hi Eric.....welcome to the Club You are more than welcome to dive into answering any questions you feel like responding to, especially any electronics related topics. Good to have you onboard!
  16. I like the Combo diesel and as long as its maintain properly (like any car really) then it shouldn't give you problems
  17. Either would do fine for this country
  18. It could be a fault with the switch, one of the calipers or even the pads sticking in the carrier brackets. Also, ensure that the EPB has been calibrated when the pads were replaced and retracting the piston, if not then this may also be the problem
  19. Nice to keep such memorabilia as it will always go up in value as the years go by I have quite a collection of automobilia and wouldn't throw any of it away (as most people do)
  20. Depends on how they have been treated. ....regular oil changes, allowing the turbo to cool down after a long motorway run, allowing the engine to warm up slowly without excessive turbo boost. All things considered there is no reason to believe that a turbo could not last as long as the car itself
  21. I will move this post to the For Sale section of the forums and sure there will be some members who will be after some parts
  22. Hi Jason.....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!
  23. A steering column may fix the issue but it would cost a lot and if you can put up with it for a while longer then may be the best bet If the issue is with the electric power steering intermittently working on start up but having to start a couple of times for it so start working then this is usually battery related and a better quality or more powerful battery tends to resolve the issue
  24. You could try to argue this with the dealership but doubt you'll get far. Timing chains tend to break across a whole range of vehicles and although they should be lifetime (e.g. 100k miles which used to be a vehicle lifespan) they aren't that durable
  25. Could be a slight exhaust leak in or around the exhaust manifold, downpipe or catalytic converter area which would be drawing air and causing this code
