Has anyone else noticed how dangerous it is to drive at night with the modern cars emitting light beams that can be seen in outer space (almost)? What do you do to improve the situation? Night (yellow) Glasses, Tinted Windows, break the other cars headlamps ? Let us know what you think - take it away the floor is all yours!

ah glad the cheaper option paid off and a lot safer in this sort of weather

Hi @MK7TURBO welcome to the Club As Andy has already said - what a great number plate Good to have you onboard

Welcome to the club. That is a nice looking beast. Love the reg.

Hello and welcome and thank you for posting the photo of your car , it looks great . How long hav e you owned this car ? Steve

Hi guys im kane i own a astra 1.4 turbo 150 elite love it cant fault the car touch wood...

Thank you i got the philips racing gt200 and philips X-treme vision pro150 and they have certainly made a difference Thank you

You can use aftermarket kits and even companies that can fit it all for you. Also, think there are bluetooth versions that don't require the wiring - quite possibly a camera would be better than the sensors and again, these are available in bluetooth as well

I would suggest popping over to Halfords and see what they do in the way of DAB add ons (aerial, interface, etc) - otherwise I would swap out the head unit for an aftermarket all singing and dancing one

And to add, does anybody know idmf DAB radionwas a thing on 2011 astra s? Idblike tonuse it but need to read the manual more or ask on this forum

Hi Peter and welcome.

Has anyone installed front parking sensors on a crossland sri

can anybody tell me which radio upgrade i need to have dab/dab+ to my factory fitted viva 2016 radio single din please

Nice one. Pity you can't make it, as it would be nice to put a face to your name 🫠.Have a great time though.

Would love to go but I am at Le Mans 24 Hours race that week

It should have beam levelling in some way shape or form but I would Imagine the codes are because some of the options such as HID headlamps aren't fitted so it flags the codes. It may be also that someone has swapped them over to Halogen as replacement HID lights weren't available or too expensive

Hiya That's great, I will check with work and then get ourselves some tickets. Thanks

Hi Steve. Yes it is all set to go ahead in june.

Tanks admin i will contact them

Not sure with this one but I would query it with your local dealership as it is safety related and could be subject to a recall possibly

always best to leave jobs like this to a day when its warm and dry - maybe July (if we're lucky enough to have another good summer this year) :-)

Its a tough one as this can tend to happen quite a bit nowadays with short journeys and poor quality fuel which then leads to the engine clogging up with carbon, soot and various other contaminants. This is quite usual to consume more oil if the car is taken on a long run after a period of smoking it around town. The pistons rings tend to 'gum up' into the ring grooves on the piston and then when it is revving hard and good engine temperature the rings may release and make a better seal. Also, the oil should show signs of discolouring if the carbon level is high and the oil will blacken up with the soot. Much like the good quality fuel it is also very beneficial to have very good quality oil in the engine as well.

I think the audio system may need a firmware update to handle the new software updates - the dealer would want quite a bit of money to run the update but if there is a warranty on the car or you have only just bought it you may be able to swing a favourable outcome

haha, nice one....that old threat - like when she says you don't need two motorbikes and if you get anymore then....😁

Thats really good to hear you had a pleasant and positive time on the inaugural run. They say every day is a school day and you're not the only one to suddenly find a function in you car a year later and think to yourself I never knew that was there, or if only I knew that before :-)
