  1. I don't have an Insignia so I honestly don't know if earlier facelift lights would be plug and play. May be worth a try on the Facebook Forum also should be able to source cheaper second hand replacements.
  2. Nice offer, why not put it on E-bay because I'm sure you'll get a few quid for it. If you're not bothered about the money put it on no reserve and start at 99p but make sure you list it as plus postage.
  3. Good to see someone prepared to do the work rather than saying it's not worth it and scrap the car. So, Andy the underneath of the car must now look as good as the outside of the car ! You may have high mileage, but you obviously maintain your car to a high level and it shows in the way she looks.
  4. Does that not suggest that the fault is the switch ?
  5. If you want to know if your vehicle has a recall then go here :: Check if a vehicle, part or accessory has been recalled - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
  6. Give this number a ring 01792 771701 or 01792 652816 They are a breakers yard in Swansea and are breaking a 2000 Vauxhall Omega (on E-Bay)and the drivers side Headlight looks in good condition They are selling the suspension struts, a picture shows the vehicle. VAUXHALL OMEGA 2000-2003 O/S Front Drivers Suspension Strut 2.5 Petrol 148397 for sale | eBay
  7. Your LED Headlights are only road legal because they are Manufacturer fitted and are sealed units and when any of the lights go then the whole unit has to be replaced. I don't know for sure if the DRL is an MOT failure. RHD and LHD are not inter changeable because the lens are set up to direct the light in a different direction because the need to light up the side of the road they are driving on.
  8. The really white light that you saw was most likely an LED light, which are much brighter, use less power and have a longer life than halogen bulbs. But, unless it was a manufacturer fitted sealed unit then it was not actually road legal and can 1) fail am MOT and 2) get you pulled over by the Police and fined for not having the correct lighting.
  9. Just a wild stab at it but could it be your key fob needs reset ?
  10. I don't know if you can turn of the keyless entry, I can't on my 2010 Astra Twin Top. So my solution was to buy a "Faraday Pouch" which stops any signals being sent or received by the fob whilst in the pouch, secondly I bought a Steering Wheel Lock, you will see quite a few top end models such as Range Rovers now sporting Steering Wheel Locks when parked up. ( I went for the Stoplock Pro which is a Thatcham Security Approve Steering Lock).

    Clock

    Don't know if you have managed to change the clock, if not watch this video :: Bing Videos
  12. The EML and Traction Control lights go out when the fault is corrected, but the actual Fault Codes usually still stored. You can check this by using the "Pedal Method" that I have put a "How To Do" about in the Vauxhall Knowledge section. Disconnecting the battery overnight can sometimes clear the Fault Codes. If I had lived near you I would have come and cleared the Faults for a cuppa and a snowball.
  13. Don't know much about Agilas, but is the seat the half leather option where the leather splits and comes apart ? If so the are a couple of places in the Luton area that can replace the leather section, which should be cheaper than replacement seats.
  14. Just an after thought, the folding mirror mechanism can be fitted but it is supposed to be a bit of a faff. I'm sure that I have seen a "How To" on the subject before and could try and look it out for you if you want.
