Evening all, am I right in thinking that the 1.4t petrol engines are prone to head gasket failure? If so, are there any oreventative measures I can take beyond regular servicing? Thanks very much.

Hi Steve, Yes I did

@Peter mokka Have you checked water header tank for oil, does the rear exhaust seem oily? Don;t know the solution yet but good to know the symptoms more

Hi mate Did you use the reg plate to search the part? Where have you searched?

Hi Russell Welcome to the club Pop some pics up when you can.

Hi,] I have popped onto here as I have a 2004 Corsa wait for it.....1.8SRI for sale. Not bad condition for age but not great either, it has been and still does run perfectly well but the MOT runs out the end of this month and I have bought my son a replacement car and I no longer have room for this classic rare 1.8 beast. It would be good as a doer upper and if anyone on here is interested I will provide pictures. Thanks Russell P.S. I am in Newmarket Suffolk.

I am trying to source a crankshaft sensor for my Crossland Elite Nav registered 31/7/18 my engine No is 10XKDN 0001625 LEZ but the part suppliers do not list this engine no type. Can any one advise

My point of contact Luke Tel: 07934262364

Back at the end of May, my 2014 Insignia failed its MOT due to the common condensation issue in the headlights, both sidelights stopped working. Everything I read online told me it would be difficult and expensive to find the right Xenon LED Adaptive Forward Lighting headlights. Came across Luke’s service by chance while browsing on eBay. After getting in touch on the 6th June, I was given a very reasonable quote, way cheaper than anything else I had found. Really liked the fact that I only needed to pay a £100 deposit to secure my booking. Even better, Luke was really friendly and understanding, and took the time to explain the whole process to me. Finally got the work done on 9th June, dropped the car off, then popped over to the nearby Asda for breakfast and coffee while they worked. Unexpectedly quick turnaround, I got a call not long after to say the car was ready to collect. Luke and the team fitted and programmed both headlights and gave me a 12-month warranty, which was great peace of mind. Having them sort this out so quickly really saved me from a lot of stress and hassle, other garages couldn’t even source the parts. Everything was handled professionally, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Really recommend this service if anyone here is stuck with the same problem, genuinely brilliant experience with DJA AUTO INTERNATIONAL REDDITCH.

Hii did you found the problem?

2015 petrol mokka. Drinking oil. Plus when under load occasionally judders,losses power and a puff of white smoke comes out. Runs fine after that and no codes are recorded

I have just been told that the crankshaft has in and out float

No, it cant do that. Its the Foxwell NT301 so really all it can do is read and reset trouble clodes. is there a way to do it without having to buy a whole new scan tool?

Hi can anyone help & tell me where I can find the glow plug module on my meriva b 1.6cdti 2014/15 . I’ve looked around engine bay & removed battery & tray but cannot seem to see it anywhere & im stump now as to where to look any help locating this on this model will be much appreciated darren

great news and good diagnosis of the real fault - always usually something simple but difficult to find

Finally managed to get my dash working again. I found a reset method which has cured the problem. It's called disconnection of the battery for 15 minutes. I decided to remove the after market wiring for the electric fan, and whilst doing this I needed to disconnect the live terminal. And once I had done, and all was back together. The dash was working again, and has been ever since. And I am no longer getting a static shock every time I get out of the car. Which is a win win in my book.

Wonder if its a simple fault to resolve to get the roof working again? If not then maybe look through fuses or find the chime generator and disconnect that

Does your scantool have reset battery function - to register new battery voltage in the ECU?

Oh dear (about the speedo) but great news about the MOT test

Hi everyone, I’ve just joined this group and was hoping someone might be able to offer some advice or share any similar experiences. I’ve got a 2019 Vauxhall Crossland X 1.2 petrol (non-turbo) on PCP, which I’ve had for about 16 months. The car has done 30,779 miles. About a month ago, I noticed the car was losing power when trying to accelerate — it felt sluggish and wasn’t responding properly. I took it in for checks, and it turned out there was a misfire on cylinder 2. Upon further inspection, the mechanic found that the tip of the spark plug — the ceramic part — had broken off and fallen into the cylinder. A compression test showed only 67 PSI on cylinder 2, indicating internal engine damage. I’m now facing a potentially huge repair bill, despite the car being relatively new and still under finance. Has anyone else had a similar issue with their Crossland X, particularly with spark plugs or engine misfires? Also, does anyone know if there’s a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) or known issue relating to this? Any advice or shared experience would be really appreciated. I’m currently trying to gather evidence and figure out the best way to approach this with Vauxhall and the finance company. Thanks in advance!

Hi. Does anybody know if rear coilspring fractures are a common issue with early Meriva B? Seem to be a lot of these coming up in mot histories on cars ive looked at. If so, anybody know if there are better quality springs available from someone other thanVauxhall? Cheers. Paul.
