Hi....welcome to the Club Sounds like you have a great example of what was one of the best models of Astra (in my mind) and as long as it has been maintained correctly over the years should go on for many more years! Good to have you onboard and feel free to post up some piccys of it

Fault codes. Po481 and po482
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to Dave2005's topic in Vauxhall Insignia Club
Cooling fan issue....check wiring and also consider Temperature Sensor may be defective (sometimes occurs when temperatures go extremely low) -
I would suggest a scrap yard but chances are if there is an inherent fault with this type of gearbox then you could just end up with the same issue. A gearbox remanufacturer would be more expensive but better in the long run as they will have resolved the original issues You could also widen your search by finding out which other vehicles the transmission has been fitted to (e.g my Alfa Romeo Mito has the same gearbox as the Corsa and many other make vehicles)

Hi Steve....welcome to the Club Superb looking car the GTC VXR....feel free to post up some pics of it on here Good to have you onboard! -
I would scan the vehicle electronic system for fault codes in the ECU memory to more accurately diagnose the issue A cheap scan tool can be purchased online or motoring store to scan and reset the ECU

Try Halfords for an aftermarket connector and you can trace the wires to reconnect the adapter

Corsa VXR crank but no start (fuel issue?)
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to Lewisjsm's topic in 2006 Onwards Corsa
First thought would be crankshaft or camshaft position sensors - even stretched chain/belt which can lead to sensors being out of sync. However as the engine fires when sprayed with brake cleaner then I would look for any fault codes, engine compression, even oil quality can affect starting (washed down with fuel, etc which lowers compression) Battery voltage, earth points (leads and connections) in fact there are so many other factors that could affect the engine not running. Start with the basics and go back over your work as it may be something simple that has been overlooked. Let us know how you get on and what you find -
Vauhall Victor estate tyres
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to Stokesby20's topic in New Members Introductions
have just found this which does say around 24psi all round (which I think is a bit low)? http://www.tyretrade.ie/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/2486-FITMENT-POSTER-CAR-NEW1.pdf -
Vauhall Victor estate tyres
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to Stokesby20's topic in New Members Introductions
155/80R13 79 SL 739 lbs 805 lbs 871 lbs 937 lbs 963 lbs (79 SL) 155/80R13 83 XL 732 lbs 798 lbs 862 lbs 928 lbs 948 lbs 990 lbs 1052 lbs 1074 lbs (83 XL) If this is the tyre size you have then these pressures will be within the range If not then start at 30psi and add or remove air pressure to suit handling characteristics -
Sounds like all the mods are subtle and the repairs are minor and sometimes takes a little while to get the car to how you like it....but always feels good when you achieve it

Ensure that your headlights are on dip beam and then switch on the fog light If you are successful then there should be a warning lamp on the dash panel

2016 1.6 INSIGNIA ELITE NAV CDTI ECO SS
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to ST3V3_GB's topic in Vauxhall Insignia Club
I believe that may be cured by a TPMS reset Firstly ensure that your tyres are at the exact pressure they need to be (when cold) Take a look at this video clip on how to reset the system- 1 reply

If I think it is what you are describing then you need to hold down the switch then switch the ignition on and it should roll down or up in one movement rather than by increments

Hi steveybean72 ....welcome to the Club How are you getting on with the Insignia? Phone images are huge nowadays and if you want to upload you can set the photos to a lower resolution as high res takes up huge amounts of storage space Good to have you onboard!

I would definitely replace it if in doubt....not worth taking the chance in the long run

Breakers yard is the only place I could think of acquiring one -
Cim problem … pls help 🤦🏼♀️
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to Deborah's topic in Vauxhall Owners Lounge
I would be looking at the SRS clockspring as the culprit in this case as the information for the horn and steering wheel controls all run through this. Either way, if you want to inspect or replace any components behind the steering wheel it is a job that needs to be tackled with care to avoid deploying the steering wheel airbag -
Hi....welcome to the Club The old Astra is definitely a great car and not sure progress has been kind to the Astra name over the years Good to have you onboard with your Crossland and hope it serves you well

Hi Unfortunately, we are unfamiliar with this model on this side of the pond. I would be looking at the domestic market for any info on the car
