  1. I must admit that whilst my car runs just aswell with the newer E10 petrol, the fuel economy doesn't seem as good as the E5

  4. Hi and and thanks for the joining to you all. I don't have a Vauxhall at the moment but just selling my Caravan so will be looking for an Astra to replace my Jaguar. I ordered the First Mk1 in England in 1980 and it was great for 10 years really loved it. Then worked through a Magnum, Cavalier, Frontera, Carlton & 2 Omega estates. So hoping to pick up some reports through you Guys on Astras 11 - 16 ish. Peter PS that's farther in law and wife not me

  5. It doesn't seem to have made a difference with my fuel economy. I did 130 miles the other day on £15 of E10, and the old girl gave me 56 mpg. I don't mind that from a 20 year old car that's done nearly 230,000 miles.

  6. Have just purchased a 2010 astra 1.6 sri, I know next to nothing about cars (it's the J mark 6 version apparently), was just wondering if anyone had an old owners handbook they don't need or know where I can get one. I have searched online and seem to able to find every one apart from the one I need, thanks in advance

  7. I've got a 2011 CDTI. Tracked the squeal to the nearside rear wheel. I knew it wasn't wheel bearing or pad related because it was the same pitch regardless of wheel speed. And intermittent. I removed the brake pad carrier and shook it violently. There was the sound. Basically ( in my case ) the handbrake cable has a ball on the end that sits in a small bracket on the back of the Carrier. The ball is getting on a bit and showing signs of weathering along with the bracket, showing rust lines down the bracket. I greased the ball where it sits in the bracket ( because I had the car on axle stands with the handbrake off the ball had freedom to move slightly in its enclosure allowing enough space to let the grease get at it. Problem solved. I'll be honest, it'll probably be back again soon when the grease wears off but I reckon I'll just replace the handbrake cable and grease the new one on install. Some of you may have the same issue hope this helps.
