[Induction Kit]

Hi....welcome to the Forum

Usually, there are parts available on eBay to make up your own system.
Usual things like Samco style induction hose, AMM housing, cone filter, etc....worth a try and probably a lot cheaper as well

Hi....welcome to the Forum

To be fair, I'm not entirely sure what else will fit but it may be worth locating a secondhand replacement engine and replacing the timing chain assembly before fitting so that you know it will last more than 40k

Should be secured at both ends by self tapping screws and also attached to a crossmember which should unbolt (from memory!)

[key stuck in ignition??]

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:

I had to have the complete gear leaver mechanism changed in the car. The solenoid which operates when you put the leaver in park and have your foot on the brake is at fault but cannot be bought on its own. There is a superseded part number, so there must be a problem with the mechanism.

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

[External temp sensor]

Maybe someone needed one and helped themselves possibly

[External temp sensor]

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

[tommytookamotor]

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 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

He had one die on him, and had to replace all four as it wouldn't recognise the new one on its own. 

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

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
