Well 48hrs later, and car still has build up of static. Which is weird considering the battery was disconnected. But the good news is that I found our the problem with the gauges. It turns out that the connection into the speedo cluster can become worn. I removed it, looked at it , and then put it back. Now it is all working, even temp gauge is playing ball. So booking mot tomorrow, and hopefully be back on the road soon.

I have just got a Vauxhall Zafira 1.4i on a 2016 plate, great car to drive and I am still sorting out all of the switches. I do however have a problem as I cannot find the sat nave app on the screen, the paper work says that it is in the main screen

Hi. Did you find what the problem was? I have the same fault . I have changed the drive shafts fitted new discs, droplinks and new wheel hubs. Swapped the wheels around. Any advice would be appreciated

My partners beeing having issues with the car for the last couple of weeks going into limp mode Turn the engine off then on and it's fine but has been doing it intermittently for weeks Also had fuel rail pressure error so have changed this sensor and the filter (which CLEARLY hadn't been done on the service). Now it's come up DPF full, one mechanic just tried to do a force regeneration on it but it failed due to going into limp mode (may have been because of the fuel issue) but also the cooling fans started instantly kicking in so the temp wouldn't get up to temp so also changed the cooling temp sender as this can be caused as a back up if the sensor fails After taking it for a spin to try to see if the issue was fixed it still went into limp mode and cutting out as if someone's just ripped the battery out then draining the battery and even a jump start wouldn't start it so we charged the battery Now it's thrown up oil pressure low stop engine light to see that it's oil level is now stupidly high so after and oil change and filter (possibly 7/8L came out) It's now not starting or even cranking as if the battery's just completely dead that there's nothing in it to even crank it over although battery's fully charged and says heath it good And now I'm at a brick wall I really don't know what else to try

You wont be able to get one, you would have to extend it yourself, also if you DONT have touch and connect stereo, the screen will display no info except date and time anyway

The horn is under the battery tray and has its own battery connected to it. Good luck finding a replacement one, like everything with the antara, all the parts are like trying to find rocking horse poo. I wuld try disconnecting the tilt sensor under the passenger seat first and see if that fixes it, as passing cars ,trucks etc can set off the alarm by rocking the car and the tilt sensor if faulty will think its being moved.

Hi, I have felt a similar thing when coming to roundabouts - I’m advised that it could be the early stages of auto box failure. I also have a jolt when selecting drive when on a slight hill.

I have a 2014 CDTI with about 64k miles. The auto box has just started to jolt as it engages gear particularly if on a hill (up or down hill), but it’s inconsistent. My mechanic suggests it’s starting to fail. Can anyone advise on costs to replace with either a new or reconditioned unit. thanks Ferg

Hi, I live in Grimsby & I am looking for someone to swap a near side rear door. I have bought a replacement that has everything on it, so all it needs is fitting & sorting the central locking. Can anyone on here do this? If so any idea on cost. Happy to travel around 50 miles from Grimsby.

I did a reset on the bsi unit , radio is set to uk now , have middle interior light on , when you start to undo the door connector it’s dash board lights up , air con lights up even though ignition is off , even turning on makes no difference, found earth post on inner sill at front both sides , have connected to earth as well just in case , now got another ignition and fuse box cheap , have noticed battery earth has various earths , I put power to electric mirrors and both work but doesn’t like it when I try to put windows up , all black wires in door but connection is coloured lol .

Hi all, 1st time on site, just need some advice please. Thinking of getting an insignia, possibly the 1.6 ecoflex, I'm 64 now, I don't want performance, I want economy , but MORE importantly comfort, ie, no 18 or 19 inch wheels, 16 inch give a better ride, can ANYONE recommend a car, my budget is 5k , I would like a car with the intelligent headlights, but understand these matrix headlights are not as good as the Audi, VW, BMW equivalents ? Is the refinement on the insignia as good as an equivalent age Mondeo, or is the insignia cabin a quieter place ? Hopefully someone can give me some advice. Thank you. Jerry

Hi all, I currently own a Corsa and I'm thinking of upgrading to a Crossland X. Having read a few reviews I'm now not sure if I should. Are they worth buying or should I look at something else?
