  3. Hi everyone I have ordered a new 2024 facelift corsa and should be collecting any week now before Christmas and need a bit of help. I saw on sone other owner forums that people had issues with thier 23-24 plate facelift Corsa and Astras missing the ultimate badging and sills. It does state in Corsa brochure 130bp models only which is the model I ordered so I should have them. Has anyone else had the same issue as I don't know what they even look like so I cant see what I'm looking for if I need to ask the dealers if they are missing when I collect it. I can't even see anything on the review videos of 130bp model I have watched so will I actually get some kind of limited addition badging as the 130bp engine option isn't on their latest brochure stating effective Dec 3rd 24-25 only the 100bp options!? Does this also mean they have stopped to manufacture the 130np petrol engine option and therefore will be a rare car if this is the case? Plz help Regards Aaron
  4. Hi, new to the group. I have a 1.5 diesel crossland x elite, (turbo too I think) I've only had the car a few months. Just turned 50k miles. I had just pulled away from home when the dashboard came up with "engine fault stop car" or words to that effect. I turned the car off, started it back and it had gone. A couple minutes later it came on again followed by oil pressure low, so I turned around to go home, car felt slow (hubby says limp mode?!) And pulled up at home. I checked the dipstick and wiped it, there was oil there? I'm currently waiting for the AA, they should be here in 10mins. Hubby has had the engine running since then and also drove it round the block, the fault didn't come up or drive slow for him... I've had all sorts of replies on a Facebook group, could it just be a sensor?! When I press the button on the dashboard (the one that goes through "wheel pressures ok, service in 3mths, top up adblue in 1700miles, it then says NO FAULT" so I'm so confused?! And of course very worried. I've been told and read that wet belt is only on petrol engines so surely it cannot be that? The car was an ex motability car when we bought from a dealer, 1 previous owner and full service history, no mot history problems?! So thought we had bought a cracking car! But now this...
  5. Hello. love our little viva low mileage 16k and trouble free for its two elderly owners since new.Ex Vauxhall employee. however Suddenly we have a clacking sound from behind or under dashboard. After a week of it going off when starting the engine or latest just switching ignition on for a few seconds I have discovered that it is connected to switching on the temperature control dial. Bellow 18 cuts off the alarm no other problems or noises? Turning up over 18 starts the ac into on. Cannot get car into my usual garage till after new year. Recently serviced even after 2k miles per year. Unable to do anything myself. is it safe to drive albeit short distances. Any suggestions helpful. Yep I am wearing warm clothes. Dave

  7. Hi peeps Just joined the club before I collect my new Corsa ultimate 130PS............. sssoooooo excited
  8. Hi, Can anybody tell me ia a steering wheel from an Astra H VXR will fit in a 2012 Antara 2.2 CDTI. CHEERS.
  9. Hi been a while since being on here any way lot of conflicting advise about the repair of these High pressure pumps. I fitted a repair kit on my HPP and filled with ATF ran for 2 weeks but with no fast acceleration ( kick down ) but was told that ATF expands and blows seals so i drained the ATF a filled with 75w90 semi ( recommended ) 2 days later i had to boot it (kick down ) spanner light limp mode so i stripped pump and oil seal was forward of shaft and the 3 round seals had pieces missing. Now was this due to the ATF expansion or overfill of the 75w90 oil or both.So now the question is what is the best / correct oil and how much i/e fill bleed then press button to expel excess oil if pressed to much will it empty all the oil out also how to keep the 3 round disc sitting in the correct position on reassembly bit of grease thanks for any info
  10. Im working on a 2008 vauxhall corsa 1.4 petrol I have changed the fan motor and the connectors and the resistor but the resistor still gets incredibly hot and blows is then it only works on four what other things can be causing this and how can I test it?

  12. Hi Bluebird500, Welcome to the forum. I am sure there will be someone that will, either be able to offer advice, or require advice. It's always good for owners to be able to pass on tips they have picked up from their own experiences. Hope you have many happy miles in your Antara.
  13. Hi all, my 1.6 16v astra g is giving me grief, very hesitant when pulling away, but will accelarate well. But won't cruise without being somewhat jerky, like its not getting fuel constantly. Firstly how do I remove air mass sensor(see picture), and secondly, what is this that seems connected to the throttle body (see third picture). Thanks in advance. Andy.
  14. Bit late in replying, but if you are still after a replacement auto gear shift lever then contact a Jocko Murchie on Facebook. I know that he has one available and that quality will be good and he can be trusted as I have bought stuff from him before.
  15. i have a 1.6 cdti on a 2016 plate revs go up when heater fan switched on , so when slowing down the vehicle wants to speed up
  16. Hi guys got boot open warning on my dashboard and I've no boot light coming on. Insignia b grand sport auto.
  17. I hope no one minds me intruding (I’m a member of the Ford classic Consul/Zephyr/Zodiac club!) but I can see from my house a Victor from about 1963 or 64 which was under cover for at least 35 years but is now standing out with a For Sale notice on it. It doesn’t look perfect by any means but I’m sure somebody could have a go at making it as good as new and it’s a shame, now that it’s outside, for it to just fall to bits. It’s in Ponteland, Northumberland. I don’t have any further details, though I’m sure I can get them if anyone needs them, and I’m not sure that I can post a photo with me only being a visitor on the forum. If you need details try an email - captaingjohnson@gmail.com Let’s hope someone can give it a home.
  18. Just to write a conclusion to this. It was apparent to me, if not the local Vx dealer, that the thermostat had failed in the open position, this was confirmed by a local garage recommended to me. He replaced the thermostat and housing unit at a cost of about £340 of which the thermostat was £135 (( a complex bit of kit) and coolant about £20 plus a couple of hours labour and I was well pleased. Coolant temperature back to a steady 90deg and decent heating. Why these modern engines are so complicated beats me, on my 40 year old Porsche a replacement thermostat is about £15 and it's about an hours work for me to replace it. The price of progress!!! I

  21. can anyone help, im looking for a front engine bolt , code opal 2005076, its the single long bolt at front by the radiator.
  22. Thankyou, I will try there.
  23. quite possibly the wrong bulb has been fitted somewhere and it is back-feeding the lighting system
  24. wiggle the wiring (located in rubber trunking) from the A post (windscreen pillar) to the front of the door while holding the switch in position. If it works then its more than likely a broken wire....as the door articulates back and forth the wires can sometimes break
  25. First thing I would do is to check the battery is totally up to par for the cranking and have you tried easystart to see if it fires?
  26. not sure of the benefit of doing that Are you considering an increase in range possibly?
  27. I lost my fob somewhere on my route at work today. Is it possible to locate it?
