Hi Having trouble with the rear passenger air bag light which intermittently comes on. We've numerous parts changed and just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue. If so how did you get it solved? Thanks

Can anyone advise on the following problem I have. The LED driving lights have gone on the N/S headlight and I am told this requires a complete new headlight unit. Currently Vauxhall, Hella or anyone else I have tried have one in stock and Hella inform me it will be Feb 2024 before these are manufactured again. Problem is my MOT is about to run out and will fail with the faulty LED running light. I have tried dozens of car dismantlers with no luck. I have found second hand lamps in Germany but the part numbers are different and I don't want to chance paying £700 for the wrong lamp. The Vauxhall part number is 13432958 and Hella number is 1ZT011166-731. The German part numbers are 1ZT011166-721 and GM part number 13426663. Does anyone know if these parts are interchangeable as my car is RHD and the German are LHD. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh yes, your mind of Knowledge will be sought of by all concerned. Welcome aboard. I could probably think of some questions for you, but not tonight.

I want to delete the chrome window trims, I've thought of vinyl wrap, I've done plenty of wrapping in other cars, then thought of using plasti dip (never used before) or taking the trim off (if possible) and spray painting it all black . So, to those who have deleted the chrome my question is ... how did you do it ? What do you recommend if you've done it more than once , same car or others , help me decide guys

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).

Don't know if you have managed to change the clock, if not watch this video :: Bing Videos

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.

Cheers for that , I did wonder if it was a case of the button just being a standard fitted part but not wired in or programmed, or something like that, ah well , I'll probably leave as is and just learn to slum it

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.

Hi all. Having had a 2009 2l cdi for six years and 100000 miles now thinking that maybe I should upgrade. The latest models seem pretty good. Any thought on what I should go for and what I should pay. Any suggestions would be welcome. Cheers

Does the vauxhall grandland x have a radar module and does anyone know what the black plug and brown plugs are on the front bumper

Rate then, last week I picked up a 2015 insignia 2.0 cdti ecoflex sports tourer, comfy as hell inside and surprised at how nice everything is inside , how the cockpit looks and feels , but and I have looked but can't find any real answers to this question, my mirror button has the round up , down, left and right toggle with the rectangular button below it , with the little dot between the left mirror button and right mirror button , it also has the little symbol indicating powerfold mirrors , now when I select the little dot on the lower button and then press down on the round toggle button , nothing happens, the mirrors dont fold at all and I can't hear anything like a motor trying to fold them , so I'm not sure if I'm missing something?? Is it a case of vauxhall just put that button in regardless, even if there's no folding function on a particular model ? It's something I miss , having powerfold mirrors

Bom Dia amigos! Meu nome é Vitor Hugo, sou brasileiro, tenho um Opel Omega A (vendido aqui como Chevrolet) com motor Chevrolet 250 (4.1 12v). Ele usa câmbio manual GMR25 de 5 marchas, aqui no Brasil a GM recomenda óleo de transmissão syntheso DEP 150 que é difícil de localizar, mas em algumas pesquisas vi que usa sintético 75w90, alguém poderia mandar uma foto do manual ômega A para ver qual fluido a GM recomenda transmissão manual lá?

After a search through the Forum I could not find any information on the above title. So, Here they are. Fault Codes are usually found by a mechanic checking the Engine Management System with a machine that plugs into the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) which is usually situated under the dashboard. These Machines are called Op Coms or in Vauxhall's case Vaux Coms, cheap Chinese Clones can be purchased and some may even allow you to "programme" certain things, but most are OK for searching and finding Fault Codes. Fault Codes can also be found on almost all cars built on or after 2000 by using "The Pedal Test Method" :: To do this you need to Press both the Accelerator and Brake pedals down to the floor then turn ignition on until the lights come on but not as far as to start the engine..........then where your mileage shows up it should flash up "ECN" and then a series of numbers that are your fault codes, several codes can come up quickly after one another so it is a good idea to have a pen and paper ready. If nothing appears then you either have no faults or the test hasn't worked, but it usually does work on most cars. Now you will need to know what the codes mean, here is a full and comprehensive list of the Fault Codes (the vast majority of these codes apply to most other cars as well as Vauxhalls. When checking your codes from the "Pedal Test" ignore the "P" on the Fault Code list and use only the first four digits reading from the left, if the code brought up is only 3 digits then add a 0 to the front of the code. Here is a Link to a Full and Comprehensive List of the Fault Codes (Almost 1900 of them) (1) Vauxhall Fault Finding For Free | Digitalworldz Oh, and a Big Thank You to Trevor on Admin for suggesting the link when I was unable to upload the Fault Codes.

I have a 2015 insignia and the radio doesn’t work sometimes, so I was thinking of getting a second hand one off eBay but I was wondering do I need a code or can I just plug in and go?

Hi everyone I'm new here .I was looking for bita help trying to find a corsa e vxr front bumper.if anyone has or knows anyone selling one please get in touch I'm based in Northern Ireland

There will be many cars that have gone way over the milage suggested for changing Timing Belt and Timing Chains. But that doesn't mean you should leave it, because if the Timing Belt breaks then you will most likely require a new engine, so it's much safer and cheaper in the long run to replace them at given mileages, and even the mileage suggested does not guarantee that the Timing Belt won't break before then. Always check their condition and if they are looking a bit the worse for wear then get the spanners out ! While you are doing the Timing Belt it is worth checking the Water Pump and why not give your car a full service while you're at it, spark plugs, oil change, change all the filters Including the Cabin/Pollen Filter (these are often forgotten about, but it will help your interior fans and stop a few smells) and even the Ignition Coil Pack or just the spark plug leads and points on old vehicles. Your car will appreciate it by running better and you will appreciate that their will be less likelihood of a breakdown.

No need to buy an Op Com, you could check for fault codes using the "Pedal Test Method" Press both the Accelerator and Brake pedals down to the floor then turn ignition on until the lights come on but not as far as to start the engine..........then where your mileage shows up it should flash up an ECN number that is your fault code, if nothing appears then you either have no faults or the test hasn't worked, but it usually works on most cars. I will check the forum to see if there is a list of fault codes (which is quite a long list) if I can't find a list then I will post the fault codes.

I have a 2022 crossland 1.2 se turbo with an instrument cluster that does not always do the full scale check on turn on. Sometimes it works properly, other times it goes downward & flickers, other times it flicks up a little, This happens to all 4 needles. Vauxhall have allegedly tried software & have definitely changed the cluster & it still does it. Going downward indicates it is getting reverse voltage. Any ideas? The main dealer seems not to care how long they keep my car. If I had taken a courtesy car my wallet would be a lot lighter.

Breakers yard is the only place I could think of acquiring one

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

Not sure, but if in doubt then raise it with the seller to see if they will get an inspection on the transmission (oil change, etc) otherwise if it doesn't whine in normal service then not sure I would worry about it

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
