Hi, I keep meaning to say thank you for your advise. We're a bit skint at the moment and the steering isn't playing up (touch wood), so we're saving up and hopefully get it in a garage ASAP. Thanks Ang :-)

Yeah that's the frightening thing. And I've also found out that I'm the same age as the motorway national speed limit. Not the 70, just the length of time it's been in force.

Just bought a ZAFIRA SRI 1.4 turbo 2015 with 47000 on the clock lovely car. Haynes stopped doing a paper back now? Paper yes must be my age! Also drive a 1.8 SRI petrol. Bought in 2017. I had a VECTRA V6 years ago, always loved Vauxhall.

Well I am only a few years away from a pension. 😀

oaft, pensioner car

well at least you'll get practice removing bumper and other panels to gain access to the radiator

We had our car just over a year from 2nd hand and it started to go. I never knew what it was, when i accelerated, i got "stop the car" and allsorts and it would cut out (not good on a fast bypass up in the highlands) My pal is a mechanic and the prices he said around gave me the fear. He said play your face at Vauxhall, so i did, one free wetbelt fitted for free, and not a £600+ bill, job done, Maybe grovel to Vauxhall as they realist how garbage a wet belt is.

I seen them on ebay, it also shows a wee spring, but mine must have took off when the button went !!! loads on ebay

Thank you

cheers

Thought I'd introduce myself quickly. 2014 Insignia owner (two or three previous owners), very happy with it overall. Joined up to get help with a specific issue (I'm really not a car person so limited knowledge) but, after reading through some of the threads here, there's clearly a lot of very useful things to explore! I'm not likely to post much, I don't know anything useful about cars to share with you all!

Hi....welcome to the Club some cars are going to be a pain from the beginning (my hate is VW) and are plagued with problems. sometimes you get a good one and sometimes a bad one (Friday - Monday cars). Good to have you onboard and hope you can resolve some of the issues

I'm going on a hunch that the battery may not be up to the job....had similar on an Alfa Romeo and it was a choice between replacing the battery (which the existing one was good enough to run the car) or sit there for a while once the engine had started allowing the battery to recover slightly. See if it does the same thing, rather than turning the steering just let it sit there to see if that still works

I've got a Crossland X and it has started to drink oil, I have always had main dealer service and the wet belt changed last year. I have been quoted over 6k to fix it doing a bit of digging it is my understanding Stellantis extended the warranty on Puretech engines beacuse of this fault

Apologies for the delay, had a busy few weeks, and passed my driving test first time, its not a paddle shift.

Hi I have 1.8 8v cavalier MK3 with aw 50-40le auto gearbox. I need to do an oil change as it's dirty but need to know how much it takes as some sites say 3 l with out filter and some say 6l. It has to be done via dipstick hole as it a sealed box so only will do a basic change. Does anyone have this box that can advise. A rust free car with 96000 from new and original radio cassette. Thanks I'm
