replacement radiator

Hi welcome to the club @RIVERSCARS

Have you tried to get the old one reconditioned? I had a rad pop one winter and took it to a radiator specialist who rebuilt the radiator and came back looking new but using all the old brackets etc.

Vauxhall Astra 2011 power steering motor issue

Hi...welcome to the Club
First thoughts are battery - it may be healthy on test but if its the wrong type then this can also cause problems. If you turn the engine over and the light comes on and the steering is heavy almost immediately, then switch it off and immediately try again - if the light stays off and the steering is fine then it is more that they battery cannot provide the power required to work the steering rack and it goes offline.
I would also advise to avoid the dealerships as they just fit new parts and hope it cures the fault.
If you go to a skilled mechanic in an independent garage that is capable of scanning the fault codes and also measure the voltage at the steering motor to see if it is especially heavy demand (could be poor connection, dirt or water ingress in the connector, etc).
Also, they should be able to check the Load and Angle Sensors are calibrated and can adapt it through their test equipment which is an easy job to do.
Let us know how you get on with finding a good independent garage that is good at electronic faults

Hi...welcome to the club
It's nice to see some connoisseurs like to look at the alternatives out there rather than jumping on the band wagon. The ST is a good car but there are equally satisfying cars out there at a fraction of a price as they are not rated by their badge.
I owned a Rover 200LE 'BRM' - a limited edition (795 made for UK market) and it was and still is the one car I wished I had kept for its unique style (google the images of the Rover BRM) and was an homage to the racing cars from the nineteen fifties and sixties.
There were many other 'limited editions' available at the time - Renault Clio Sport 'Williams Edition' to name just one - ANYONE ELSE ADD TO THIS LIST? but most of the time it came down to the badge and no one wanted to drive an 'old mans' car like a Rover, albeit not at all standard at all.
Good to have you onboard and feel free to pop up some photos of your Astra GTC VXR

Vauxhall Astra 2011 power steering motor issue

Ang1104 · Tuesday at 04:24 PM4 days

Hi, thank you for adding me. I've only had a Vauxhall Astra for 7 months and I don't know much about cars, but she seemed a gem when I bought her. No rust, ran well, and at 51000 miles, although I paid a bit more than what she was worth as it was from a used car garage, I hoped I'd chosen well. Then, 4 months later, when I drove very slowly, the steering became very heavy. I took her to the garage. I had the battery, alternator and power steering pump looked at and all came back as ok. It's a 20

Hi All, Recently picked up a 2012 Astra GTC VXR. Initially wanted an ST MK2 for the unbeatable 5-pot burble, but reckoned I wouldn't sleep peacefully after I'd researched the sleeve cracking issue in-depth 😅 This led me to the Astra GTC VXR. I've been pleasantly surprised with the overall package and driving experience this car offers. The performance and looks are a killer combo and a testament to a time when manufacturers were fighting to have the hottest hatch, while still letting you plonk

Owned from new - metallic silver with factory fitted full body styling kit + 19in alloy wheels (snowflake design). Additional spare alloy wheel (purchased when no longer being manufactured). 130,000 miles - still runs extremely well. Bodywork in reasonably good condition for its age. Serviced and MOT'd last month. Excellent tyres - all tyres purchased during this year. Genuine reason for sale - running costs now somewhat of a luxury with only doing approx 2000 miles a year - for some years now.
