Thank you. That might be something I'll be doing when I get on to it. t works out that these were in the dealers showrooms the year I passed my driving test. It also has the 3 speed automatic box, which was an optional choice as they all came with the 4 speed manual box.

The day I purchased the car release clutch message came on driving on the motorway. It continued to come on now and again only on motorway but stays on beeping until I stop my journey. The car has been back into Arnold Clark 4 times for repair regarding this, the full clutch went and this was replaced 4 months after having the vehicle. We thought this was the reason the error message was displaying. Then the release clutch light appeared again and again. I decided to reject the vehicle, given the many failed repairs and I had proof this was fault on purchase under consumer rights act. 8 months on and I am still stuck with the vehicle, the release clutch error now comes on more frequently basically everytime I am on the motorway. I went for rejection in June through my finance company , there is issues between them the broker and Arnold Clark who are now saying the car is fault free although I have multiple videos photos as evidence to show the release clutch warning. Arnold Clark don’t seem to know why this keeps appearing, neither does the independent mechanic my financial company sent to inspect vehicle. Do you have any ideas? My foot is no where near the clutch when this comes on. Car is Vauxhall Crossland 70 plate. Many thanks Quote

Its worth pursuing with treatments on a regular basis as some seem to work really well. Wynns is a good make and there are others available that I would trust (STP, Redex, etc) which may be worth trying to see if any difference

That's great to see some of the old cars still around - i used to work on these when they first came out and never remember getting annoyed by anything unlike the Leyland cars I also used to work on. Happy to offer advice on the Datsun/Nissan when you get round to reviving it in the future

I'm wanting to sell my 1998 Vectra 2.5 V6 Sport in red which I've owned for 25 years but has now been stood for 6 years. No longer used due to corrosion underneath the front end. Car has 115000 miles on the clock with a great engine, gearbox and Magnex exhaust system. Car starts, runs and drives (not on public road) and has no fluid leaks. Interior in good condition with all switches and light in working order. £1500.

Thanks, had a rear end collision which split ad blue tank, was replaced by body shop and topped up. New tank fitted, tank topped and reset by Vauxhall…injector found to be leaking , also reset. Tank is over 3 quarter full so not level sensor? Dealer stating Cat failure…..!!!! Clowns….!!!…have reset codes and it now has more cleaner in diesel than diesel…!!!…..EML gone as has reset warning….just need to find the dodgy sensor

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a driver's seat for above car. It's half leather and stitched

It's a 910 Bluebird 1.8 auto. It's been off the road 24 years. I keep saying I'll get it back on the road. But time finds me other jobs to do.

Will do. I tried Wynnes adblue cleaner, but it hasn't helped with this particular issue - though I'd hope it helps reduce crystallisation in general.

Glad to hear you had a (semi) successful outcome - the radio does not consume huge amounts of power but left on over time it will flatten the battery.

Yep, sounds like the level sensor as the adblue chrystalises over time and this usually affects the system Please let us know how you get on with it

Sounds like the level sensor is sticking which happens when the adblue chrystalises over time. It would need flushing out and refilling at the least otherwise it could also be the sensor that needs replacing as well.

There are radio code sources online, best bet is to google search it and see what comes up. Some of them you would have to pay a nominal amount to get the code but others are free. You will however, need the serial number from the radio to provide them with something to search against

I can't see the sensor as such but the position is bang on so maybe it is. Worth putting the scanner on the car and see what the live readings are for the ambient air temperature sensor - you'll soon see if it is out of range

Oh didn't realise you had an old Datsun, Andy - what model is it?

Hi....welcome to the Club Maybe worth posting this request in the Vectra section and also the For Sale / Wanted section as more Vectra owners hang around there. Good to have you onboard

That does make me wonder at times, as it is only down to the refinement of the fuel. I could understand it if it was like it used to be with the 4 star leaded and unleaded. And you had the 2 star for mowers and mopeds. But now I use E10 in my mower as well. I don't know how my 1982 Datsun is going to fair with E5 or E10 though. When leaded was done away with, I just adjusted the carb and timing. Didn't even need to have new valve seats either. But thats a project for the near future.

Hi Vauxhall Zafira 2016 2.0 litre diesel Orange engine warning light came on a few weeks ago, ODB scanner came back with adblue sensor error: Reductant Level Sensor Invalid Range - Engine Control Moule (ECM). DTC Code P1050 Took it to a garage in Clydebank area, all they did was add some adblue to tank (which it didn't need) and cleared the error code. A week later it came back. I can clear it, but it comes back next time car is started. I read this could be due to wring / corrosion issues, so took it to garage specialising in car electrics. He took one look at the above error, said it was unlikely to be wiring, said he'd never seen that error on a Zafira before, and advised me to look into the costs of replacing the whole adblue pump/tank assembly. I'm hoping I don't need to pay to replace the whole brand new adblue assembly because it looks eye-wateringly expensive - Arnold Clark Vauxhall in Garscube Road quoted £3500 for new adblue tank, pump and control unit. That is insanely expensive. There's plenty of adblue in the tank and im getting no other errors. The above error, based on what I have learned, concerns the adblue level sensor, which, along with the adblue temperature sensor, is built into the adblue tank. In other words, those two sensors are NOT sold separately. I've bought a used adblue tank assembly, going into garage this coming week, can only hope everything functioning in this assembly. Cheers J
