  1. Just bought a 2015 Zafira Tourer SRI CDTi Bit of a come down from a 3.5 V6 Nissan Elgrand, but needs must and all that. Hoping to find decent recommendations for parts, repairs that a monkey can manage themselves etc. First job once car is delivered is replacing a cracked front grille (black bit only). Hopefully do-able on a DIY basis....

  2. Hi John, I've just done a Google search regarding your problem. There is a reset sequence, but some were also saying that it could be a fault where the car and key have lost contact with each other, so will need reprogramming. I am adding picture of the reset sequence. Its got to be worth a try, and I hope it works for you.

  3. Looking for a new home for a future vintage Vauxhall Vectra 2.5 V6 CDx Auto. From a peak of nearly 4000 in 2001 there are only 139 left according to 'How Many Left'. Manufactured in 1998 I have owned it since 2002. I took it off the road 8 years ago and since then it has been garaged and regularly run. I had intended to keep it for myself as a vintage car but lack of space makes that impractical. It is in good condition for its age with all original parts and all features working. Only one small spot of rust on a sill that needs attention. Black leather interior is in good condition. Period features include TrafficMaster Oracle and Blaupunkt CD changer. 100k miles on the clock. Full Service history at Vauxhall dealer. Last MOT 2015. As a top of the range model from the end of the 20th Century, if preserved, it will stand in contrast to Vauxhall cars manufactured at the very beginning of the 20th Century. Unlike many mainstream consumer cars from the latter half of the 20th century that have rusted and rotted and been largely rebuilt, this car is original and in full working order. Open to offers from anyone interested in taking on the role of preserving it for the future.

  4. Hi all. I have in my possession some very old cavalier MK1 side skirts, which were never fitted. Some of the "older" generation may recall the official MK1 Cavalier body kit. Well these side skirts I have, we're from that kit. Now. As they are no longer of any use to me, I'd like to know if any members of the vauxhall community wishes to purchase these items off me? Price is negotiable. If there is any interest, please call me on 07487684498. Cheers. Darren.

  5. Hey Vauxhall Corsa owners, I recently faced a frustrating issue with my Corsa's clutch pedal - it wasn't returning fully. After taking it to a garage, I learned that a little white clip on the pedal had snapped. The repair cost was almost £1000, as Vauxhall only offers a full pedal box replacement for around £600. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I designed and made my own version of the clip, and it works great - it's even stronger than the original. I've listed them on eBay if anyone else is facing the same problem. I've spent a lot of time designing, testing, and improving this part, and I've sold quite a few, even to some Vauxhall garages. However, someone bought one from me and tried to copy it. After a few light tests, it snapped. So, please use my link for an original. I'm posting this on a Vauxhall forum to let people know that I've made this part and it's available if they need it. I understand the frustration of dealing with a faulty clutch pedal, and I hope this solution can help others too. If you're interested, check out the link below. Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps someone out there! Vauxhall Corsa E Clutch Pedal Spring Retaining Clip | eBay

  6. Hi everyone I have got the few issues sorted with the astra MK3 1995 1.7td izuzu Its not mint I admit but looking on how rare is my car.com it apparently is one of 12 left in one in that model with that engine how true that is I don't know but I know it's a fairly rare car as I've not seen one on the road for over 20 odd years plus I will post some pictures of it this week my plan is to fully restore it due to the fact of its history and how honest and standard it is a non molested model I know it's not everyone's cup of tea and isnt worth a fortune but I think it's great to keep a rare genuine vauxhall model going and kept on the road

  8. Hi I had this problem with my Astra when I bought it. It turned out to be the Heater Blower Motor Resistor. It was an awkward job to do, but once replaced, all controls were back working as they should. If you have a Haynes manual for your Corsa, it should show you where it is situated. On my Astra, it is at the bottom of the heater motor on the passenger side. It just plugs into the motor casing, and has electrical connection. Hope this helps. Andy.

  9. The tailgate opens and closes OK from the drivers door switch but when up there is a small switch to press on the INSIDE edge of tailgate and normally the tailgate closes, but found switch is faulty. Contacted Vauxhall for spare switch found priced at £34 and 2 month wait for it. Ordered it anyway but was then told it’s not stocked anymore because my car IS MORE THAN 5 YEARS OLD. Not happy with Vauxhall so found excellent SPARE PART WEB SITE vauxhallsuperstore.co.uk Switch was easily found priced at only £11.04 and was delivered for extra £2.95 Brilliant place for all Vauxhall spares

  10. A transmission that has been serviced should be fine. Depending on mileage then maybe factor in a fluid and filter change if one has not been carried out previously

  11. I had my egr valve with restrictor plates on and didn’t make much difference, so last weekend I set to and put a blanking plate, which I made myself on the exhaust manifold, removed the egr cooler and bent some 15mm copper pipe to go in its place. On the egr valve I put another blanking plate on there until I can afford to get it mapped out. What a difference my 1.9 cdti 150 bhp was flying, then I put a pipercross race air filter in and whoosh she was away again, it no longer feels like I am constantly driving into a head wind, the engine sounds happy and has instant power no lag, and no smoke at all on startup, now and again she still puffs out some blue smoke which it has always done but I think it must be the dpf needs a clean. My car now is like a rocket ship, she is an 08 model Vectra c.
