  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. Thanks for that. I have changed the fuel pump but I haven’t checked the relay. I’ll give that a go first and thanks for your input.

  4. If you have the parts to fit then go for it and also gives you a chance to totally flush through the old brake fluid and fill with fresh.....this is usually the problem as the valves stick as corroded with moisture in the fluid and contamination of the metal valve and body

  5. Hi all, new member here! I have just taken ownership of a 2006 Monaro VXR with the 6.0 LS2 motor and they seem to be quite rare these days, so much so, that my local Vauxhall dealership who were the Monaro VXR specialists at the time it was originally purchased no longer support the car and cannot offer any service support or parts. I am looking to hopefully connect with other Monaro VXR owners to learn more about the car ie common problems/defects etc, maintenance tips and where to source even just everyday consumables, filters, belts, plugs and so on. The car is in exceptional condition having only done 14k since new and im hoping i can keep it that way for many years to come!!! Anyway any help would be very much appreciated thanks.

  6. Hi...welcome to the Club I love the Monaro and always wanted one but those days are sadly behind me now. Would like to see some pics of the beastie if you want to post some up? The LS2 engine is bulletproof so you shouldn't have any issues with that side of things. Not sure about parts availability for the rest of the car though Good to have you onboard!

  7. Hi all We brought an 2019 Insignia SRI last November, and after three weeks had to change it to a Grandland X, only because of me having difficulty getting in and out of it due to medical reasons. Now we have a brand new boot liner, which cost just over £100 and brand new made to order set of 4 all weather floor mats that cost £45, neither of which will fit the Grandland. Is there anyone out there who would like to buy them. If so please make an offer based on the cost they were to us please. Attached are photos of them. We have just joined the Owners Club, so hello to you all. John and Lorraine Hill Coventry

  8. Hi there. I am not sure if there is any difference from the UK to Portugal, but most cars here are OBD 2 compliant since 1996. So your Astra should be ok. I bought a basic OBD 2 reader from a local car shop, and it came with a booklet with what the codes mean. I hope this helps.

  9. Depending on the spark plugs, the gap range is between 0.8-1.0mm. This info I found online at "All Corsa forum". Hope this helps.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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

  16. 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

  18. 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.
