I have exactly the same problem. abs, hill start, tyre pressure etc all warning lights and disabled and now a clutch release message. Did you manage to resolve the problem?

many thanks,will try that if it goes again,have been using WD40 every time on key before starting car....seems to be working ok.

ive been having a similar issue on my Meriva, just got back from the garage and my compressor is naffed. im not sure if its applicable in your case but on mine there is a relay switch in a very well hidden fusebox located behind the dash accessed via the engine bay. not sure if yours is the same but its worth looking at.

Hello, I have just got an Insignia diesel 1.6, its seems really nice. Just one issue, I am getting a noise from the front right corner, it get louder when you go faster 60 to 70, when I dip the clutch and put it in neutral the noise remains the same still there. So I thought it might be the wheel bearing so I jacked it up, at there doesn't seem to be any play, and it doesn't appear noisy when I turn it by hand. Could it still be the wheel bearing, or could it be something else? Thanks in advance, Ian

Hi I have been offered an 08 auto Zaffira 1.9tdci. Has anyone owned this model as I have never had one and have read the gearboxes are not very strong and reliability is questionable etc etc. My thanks

Hi all need some advice on my ac. I got it recharged last yeah back end of the summer as it had stopped blowing cold air, didn't think it made any difference but as we were hitting fall didn't think much of it. skip to this yeah and its been rather warm so been trying to use my ac again with no luck, tried getting it gassed again incase there was a hole but no dice apparently it holds pressure. What I am finding is if I bring air in from outside it seems cold ish outside temp 18 blowers are at 23.6 stuck a fridge probe in front of them, but if I recirculate the air the temp fly's up inside in front of the fans was at 33.8 so its hotter then outside which isn't right. From me looking I don't think the clutch is kicking in on the compressor, flywheel spins but clutch stays where it is put a bit of blue tape on the side and its still at the top after running ac for 20min. Is there anything else i can do to check before I end up back at the garage? checked the 7,5amp fuse in dash that's fine. ac button lights up so it has power in theory. any help would be appreciated

When starting, I sometimes get a "check right marker lamp" but all lights are working. I'm assuming by marker lamps, the reference is to the side lights? And the front marker lamps would be the lower output (5w) DRLs? Also, when do the brighter 21w elements come on, is it when going through a tunnel etc? 2011 Meriva B 1.7 CDTi auto Exclusiv

Negative on the potentiometer. Back to square one.

We have got various car parts for Vauxhall cars, all new and not used, for cars 1975-1990. Mainly door weather strips, trims, grills, one prop shaft, one headlight. All items available together, selling as a job lot Here is our FB marketplace listing: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/815906960592545

No, it would have to be a complete axle set at the same time for the handling not to be compromised Powerflex are the best ones to purchase from experience but may cost more

I would put money on it being the turbocharger variable vanes sticking due to excessive carbon deposits Try using a cleaner to remove the carbon - links below: Wynns JLM Revive

Sorry, misread your post....thought it said 'front locks' Its possible but not sure....again if a scrapyard has the parts you can take measurements or offer it up....sometimes the manufacture won't change much metalwork to facelift a new version just superficial plastics...so certainly worth a punt and time in research

Yep I would imagine it has done, so cylinder head off to survey the damage

Vauxhall parts dealer should be able to print out an exploded diagram of the heater control parts

Type your registration into EuroCarParts website and comes up with belt and not chain https://www.eurocarparts.com/timing-belt

Hay I'm looking for anyone who can help me find a Vauxhall 10/4 1937 radiator hose that looks like this...

Perhaps try using AndroidAuto? I have found downloading Waze to my phone is much better.

I just looked on line, looks like it’s a belt engine. There is a chain linking the camshafts on the gearbox end, but they don’t normally need changing.

Hi. Anyone have a near side front wing in mistral grey? Code 83L. Thanks

Hi I'm new to the Vauxhall owners club I own a Vauxhall 10/4 1937 and I'm really struggling to find parts can anyone help me?????

I'm selling my 280bhp vxr vectra based in Farnborough Hampshire, I have had the cam chains (water pump etc) changed by nick Lloyd about 4 ISH years ago it has 143999 miles on the clock, I get it serviced every year, I have recently changed the dmf and clutch, the radiator and thermostat and housing has been replaced recently as well, it has a new battery, the MOT runs out in December. Bad points the wheels have been scuffed/kerbed because it has done many a school runs and the front fogs are not working because I don't Use them and it's not a MOT failure. The bodywork is in good condition but could do with a good colour correction polish and the interior is ok. I have some history and the v5 and two keys. Oh yes it's currently on winter tyres what could do with replacing, I have 4 Michelin that I took off and you can have them if you want but I'm sure we could negotiate this into an offer. Thanks for your time and if I can answer your question I will or at least try.
