Hi , Off to buy an Insignia 2008 2.0 CDTI 160BHP Exclusiv Nav tonight and wanted to know if there's anything particularly to check? Below is what i know. 95k Miles Timing done 86k Service done 90k MOT till 2025 No Bluetooth (will change dash to tesla style radio) Seems Clean on bodywork I will take my OBD Scanner with me and have a good general look at the engine / test drive. Any thoughts much welcome! (Price £1400)

Finally got this sorted. Turns out that the speedo cluster can work loose on the plug to the main loom. I removed the cluster today, and gave the connections a clean. After refitting back in to the dash, I now have all clocks and gauges back working again. I can only wish I'd gone and seen my local garage earlier. Car wouldn't have been stood about so long. Booking m.o.t. tomorrow, so should be back on the road soon.

Sorry not to be more positive. It's disgusting. This happens frequently and Vauxhall hide behind the idea that we might not have followed instructions. It's crippled me financially and taken 2 months in my area to get it fixed!

Good god! Not looking promising! Thanks for letting me know.

I had to get the infotainment unit replaced. In the end Vauxhall covered 50 % of the almost £1300 bill. Not nearly enough but better than nothing

Did you manage to get this sorted? We have got exactly the same error. Only bought the car yesterday!

Well 48hrs later, and car still has build up of static. Which is weird considering the battery was disconnected. But the good news is that I found our the problem with the gauges. It turns out that the connection into the speedo cluster can become worn. I removed it, looked at it , and then put it back. Now it is all working, even temp gauge is playing ball. So booking mot tomorrow, and hopefully be back on the road soon.

I have just got a Vauxhall Zafira 1.4i on a 2016 plate, great car to drive and I am still sorting out all of the switches. I do however have a problem as I cannot find the sat nave app on the screen, the paper work says that it is in the main screen

Hi. Did you find what the problem was? I have the same fault . I have changed the drive shafts fitted new discs, droplinks and new wheel hubs. Swapped the wheels around. Any advice would be appreciated

My partners beeing having issues with the car for the last couple of weeks going into limp mode Turn the engine off then on and it's fine but has been doing it intermittently for weeks Also had fuel rail pressure error so have changed this sensor and the filter (which CLEARLY hadn't been done on the service). Now it's come up DPF full, one mechanic just tried to do a force regeneration on it but it failed due to going into limp mode (may have been because of the fuel issue) but also the cooling fans started instantly kicking in so the temp wouldn't get up to temp so also changed the cooling temp sender as this can be caused as a back up if the sensor fails After taking it for a spin to try to see if the issue was fixed it still went into limp mode and cutting out as if someone's just ripped the battery out then draining the battery and even a jump start wouldn't start it so we charged the battery Now it's thrown up oil pressure low stop engine light to see that it's oil level is now stupidly high so after and oil change and filter (possibly 7/8L came out) It's now not starting or even cranking as if the battery's just completely dead that there's nothing in it to even crank it over although battery's fully charged and says heath it good And now I'm at a brick wall I really don't know what else to try

You wont be able to get one, you would have to extend it yourself, also if you DONT have touch and connect stereo, the screen will display no info except date and time anyway

The horn is under the battery tray and has its own battery connected to it. Good luck finding a replacement one, like everything with the antara, all the parts are like trying to find rocking horse poo. I wuld try disconnecting the tilt sensor under the passenger seat first and see if that fixes it, as passing cars ,trucks etc can set off the alarm by rocking the car and the tilt sensor if faulty will think its being moved.

Hi, I have felt a similar thing when coming to roundabouts - I’m advised that it could be the early stages of auto box failure. I also have a jolt when selecting drive when on a slight hill.

I have a 2014 CDTI with about 64k miles. The auto box has just started to jolt as it engages gear particularly if on a hill (up or down hill), but it’s inconsistent. My mechanic suggests it’s starting to fail. Can anyone advise on costs to replace with either a new or reconditioned unit. thanks Ferg

Hi, I live in Grimsby & I am looking for someone to swap a near side rear door. I have bought a replacement that has everything on it, so all it needs is fitting & sorting the central locking. Can anyone on here do this? If so any idea on cost. Happy to travel around 50 miles from Grimsby.

I've fitted new battery today, and it's made no difference unfortunately. I have disconnected it for now as the electric fan kicked in and wouldn't shut off until the battery was unhooked. I'm hoping that maybe overnight the electrics will discharge and when I reconnect the battery there will be an improvement. I have been told that there could be a fault in the cluster itself. So I might remove that and check it out.

I did a reset on the bsi unit , radio is set to uk now , have middle interior light on , when you start to undo the door connector it’s dash board lights up , air con lights up even though ignition is off , even turning on makes no difference, found earth post on inner sill at front both sides , have connected to earth as well just in case , now got another ignition and fuse box cheap , have noticed battery earth has various earths , I put power to electric mirrors and both work but doesn’t like it when I try to put windows up , all black wires in door but connection is coloured lol .

Hi, and welcome to the club! Wow, you certainly wouldn't lose that in a car park. I've always wanted a Holden, superb looking machine and a sound to match the looks

Hi....welcome to the club Good to have you onboard!

I would consider putting a new battery on if it keeps discharging You may find this will also cure the problem with the gauges

That sounds more like either a loose connection or a Can-Bus fault. I would start by doing a 'wiggle test' which is basically wiggling wires until you invoke the fault and the lights comes on Start with the door wiring where it goes into the door from the pillar
