I'm trying to find the correct part for a vauxhall insignia 2010 cdti The part in question Im told isa hand brake module Ecua33g Not really got any more info than that

Hi Phil. I've just done some Google searching, and found that it looks like you have to get to it from under the wheel arch. Removing the plastic liner will give you access to the lock mechanism. Hope this helps. Andy.

Maybe better to go for a reconditioned unit with a good warranty The fluid in the existing box will tell a story of whether the clutch plates are worn out - smells of burnt toast and the filter should have trapped lots of debris. Which means the death knell for that gearbox.

Ok thank you for taking the time to respond. I did hear they were weaker than the MK3 Mondeo and not that great for towing. My thanks

Check the large fuse / fuseable link for damage (e.g. cracks or burn marks) Also, check the battery condition as this can drop to a low voltage when starting and this can flag fault codes

Grey/Blue smoke could be oil being burnt....valve seals possibly. Does the smoke smell of oil? Does it occur when hot or cold?

Hi. I have and tried two different ones. For some reason the OEM one on a SRI seems between the diameters of the various threads!

Not entirely sure, but try holding the power button or maybe even the brightness level should switch to low illumination

Let us know how you get on with it

I have had my Astra in and out the garage for months now. fault: intermittent driving and it feels as if it’s bad fuel or fuel not getting through. go into 1st gear and the acceleration feels as if it’s chugs as I drive. Go into 2nd ok for minute then same problem. had timing chain changed/spark/new Cat also. plugs/valves all done. They tested the fuel pressure and it was fine they said. Engine management light comes up every 2 wks or so. The code is related to camshaft position. Picking car up again today and they can’t pin this down. The mechanics say they have tried everything. anyone had similar weird problems. Or can enlighten me on an option for the problem. Thank you for any input. I don’t want to get rid of my car, unless I have too.

Superb figure to achieve.....well done Andy

Hi everyone, Newbie here, I’ve had an insignia now for just over 1 year and I just wanted to share a spreadsheet I’ve been using to log my mileage. It’s 100% geek mode so please bear with me. As a quick guide it’s a 2014 cdti ecoflex with 163bhp standard, I’ve had it remapped recently (noted on the sheet) to around 210bhp the tuner tells me. I’ll keep updating it, be interesting to see how the remap has effected mpg too. I drive to work 5/6 times a week only 11miles away from home so not amazingly far away to be classed as a long commute. It’s averaging 41mpg I thought it would have been higher tbh but I think it’s down to the short trips to and from work. Please let me know if it’s any use to anyone. Feedback welcome. Thanks.

Hi guys . I've recently bought a 2014 insignia 2.0 cdti It's had engine light on since I've got it . I've replaced the maf today with a brand new bosch one erased the fault code but had come back on . P0101 code . Maf performance in correct Any idea what else it could be please guys . Don't want to throw loads of money at diffo parts . Rather fix the actual problem Cheers

Update to leak,it's not coolant it's definitely water,when blower is turned on to screen and heat,or no heat there is steady drip under car but when blower turned off,no drip! I'm thinking it's something to do with condenser from ac? Still trying to figure it out,any input would be helpfull!

I have had this warning light on for months - garage has looked at it and found nothing obvious. They clear it and it comes back after a few days. We assumed it was EGR-related. So van was finally booked in. Van broke down on the M6. Van relayed to garage and they replaced (both? - i didn't know it had 2) EGR valves and also turbo was knackered. £2300 later, van drives out, working fine then 250 miles down the road, same error message comes back. In addition - coolant loss is constant. No leaks visible. Pressure test passed. UV dye used - nothing seen. No coolant in oil. No steam in exhaust. Typically 1/2 litre of coolant needed every 100 miles to top up to expansion tank level - if i do a long drive and forget to top it up on way home, i get "engine Stop".. so i fill it up and away we go. I have no garage who seems to know what is wrong and i cannot afford to keep spending money on it, on the off-chance they find something. Looking online, others seem to have similar issues but no solution is ever published. Any help at all from anyone on either issue - are they related? Many thanks in advance

PRICE DROP - £2500!!!!!

Also the garage recommended Shell, BP and Esso fuel , now using Shell E5.

My 1991 Calibra needs a new home . Last m.o.t. 7years ago ,runs,56k,new tyres,garaged,16v 2litre engine. No brakers .. Love and atention pick up from Crewe. Cheshire.
