Vauxhall Owners Club

It sounds like it is not reading either the handbrake or park sensor switches so therefore is not releasing the key. Maybe worth trying to cycle it from park to drive and back again. Also, keep your foot on the brake pedal as well. Here is some more info I have found for this fault:

Hi Alison....welcome to the Forum You can place an advert here for no cost if you would like to https://www.vauxhallownersclub.com/forums/forum/22-vauxhalls-for-sale/

Hi Mike....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard

Hi Nathan.....welcome to the Forum Glad to hear you're contributing to keeping the old cars on the road....as you say, not many around now Good to have you onboard

Hi Timmy Just done a bit of research and these guys can sort your problem very cheaply https://shop.intellilinkmods.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=51

I would take the pipe to a pipe and hose repairer and they should be able to make one up for you at very little cost We have one in Dorset - Thread and Pipes who can make anything to get you out of a predicament

Maybe someone needed one and helped themselves possibly

Usually on the front bumper....have a look through the grill at the lower half (or even from underneath if the lower cover isn't hiding it) and you should see a connector attached to the inside of the bumper

ah sorry....my mistake I have only ever seen leads hardwired to the base on other vehicle aerials but not sure on this one, sorry!

Hi Dave...welcome back! Does sound like it could be a split in the washer line or become detached from a union as you suspect. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi .... welcome to the Forum Here is an image of the wiring kit and shows the adapter for the aerial

Hi....welcome to the Forum Here is an image of the fusebox location for a Frontera B, which I imagine may be similar in layout, but I would also think there may be auxiliary fuses under the dashboard somewhere

AndyR . wow, that's harsh on the wallet....I wonder if this is a deliberate act from the manufacturers to sell more injectors at huge cost

I would check the pollen (cabin) filter for cleanliness as if this is blocked up then no cold air will circulate through to the cabin area

Haven't bought anything from them personally but they have been around for a while

Hi....welcome to the Forum You could try this https://www.iceboxauto.com/vauxhall-opel-insignia-2008-2011-android-8-v5753 Far better than the standard in about every way and you can mirror your phone to it as well

oh well it was worth a try....onto plan b now then

Hi Voxy.....welcome to the Forum I can only imagine it is suffering from Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) which used to occur in older cars and was caused by electrical 'noise' from the alternator and ignition system. The way around it was to fit a Suppressor (which is basically a Capacitor) which then dampened the 'noise' and this cured it. You should still be able to get one in a motor accessory store and fit it to the alternator to start with and see if this cures it Let us know how you get on with it

export

bargain!

AndyR how did it go with the temp sensor and fan?

I agree with your love of old school Pugs...had a few myself and in those days they seemed to be quite bulletproof. I don't think we'll see the end of Vauxhall although it could be a rebadging exercise as Opel possibly?

Hi Julia....welcome to the Forum Here is an interesting article about the horn situation and I would certainly be hassling Vauxhall to sort this issue as it is a manufacturing issue and safety related. https://whatconsumer.co.uk/forum/threads/bbc-watchdog-the-horn-that-doesnt-warn.10231/ Here is a link to the issue with the PIN codes. You will have to approach Vauxhall with your V5 and they charge around £30. There are also companies online who can get the pin but you have to remove your dashboard speedo cluster and send it to them, they remove and read a chip where the pin is stored. So maybe best to pay Vauxhall the money to get them to proceed. http://www.vauxhallsecuritycode.co.uk/

Hi....welcome to the Forum Sounds like there are several different faults with the car so would be best to look at each one individually. The loss of power could be a number of things but my first thoughts are that it needs a damn good blast to clear out the engine. If there is 'mayo' under the oil filler cap then this is usually condensation brought on by lots of short runs and the engine not getting hot enough for long enough to dry out the condensation within the cooler parts of the engine (e.g. valve cover) The exhaust could be corroded once again by all the condensation over time. Loss of power and engine temperature would need to be investigated further but I would almost guarantee that it is short runs that are choking everything up so to sum up, take it on a good long run with hard driving to clear it through. Let us know how you get on with it

It could be a number of things affecting the Engine Management and the only way to proceed from here is to scan the ECU for Fault Codes to see where the problem lies
