Hello VOC, I've just signed up to the forum as I presently own a 2007 Vectra C 1.8 vvt SRi having bought it in Nov 22 with 61,000 miles on the clock. This is my first Vectra but I'm by no means new to Vauxhall having owned the following - Astra Mk2 1.8 GTE and 2.0 16v GTE. Cavalier Mk2 1.8 CDi 5 door,1.8 SRi 4 door,2.0 SRi 4 door,2.0 SRi130 5 door and Calibre. Cavalier MK3 2 x 1.6GL 5 door,1.6LS 4 door ,1.8LS 5 door,2.0 SRi 5 door,2 x GSi2000,SRi16v Redtop 4 door,SRi16v Ecotec 5 door. The majority of the above I modified some mildly and others extensively. As for me I live in Scotland and drive HGVs for living. In my mid 40s apart from a huge passion for cars,owning and driving but as much modifying and rebuilding (Not just Vauxhall but Fords from the late 60s to early 90s OR in other words pre Mondeo,Escorts up to and inc MK3s,especially mk3 in fact,MKi Fiestas,all Capris,Cortinas and Sierras. In fact,I've a large history of Ford ownership too) but I also have played guitar for a long time,love history and much more. Bob

Hi everyone, I thought I would introduce myself to you all as I think I have some interesting history with Vauxhall. Back in the late 1950/Early 1960 my father worked at the Vauxhall plant in Luton, not really sure what he did, but probably on the production line somewhere. My earliest recollection of the car he drove was a Bedford CA Dormobile, I don't know that much about it other than the Reg number of NEW641 and the memories of places we visited with this vehicle, believe me we did some miles in it. The next car he owned probably around 1966 was a truly fantastic car, The Vauxhall Cresta PA Estate reg number UPM70, what a lovely car that was. Next was the PC Cresta saloon, another work of art, then he purchased ( brand new) probably with staff discount a Viva Van, not quite sure what model HA or HB in white, as a second vehicle in the household, I do remember that he tought both my Mother and my eldest sister to drive in it. So as you can imagine there is a bit of Vauxhall in my blood, currently I own a VX220, and a Mavano van that has been converted to a Campervan and there have been many other Vauxhall's in-between, as well as some interesting history with a vauxhall dealer where I worked for a few years. Just a short taster of many years with Vauxhall, if anyone is interested send me a message and I'll get back to you. Thanks for reading this, all the best

Hi mate I completely forgot about sharing my photos of my new Corsa ultimate and I also went for the 130 turbo!!........ it's like it's been given a steroid injection

Hi AndyR Just had the same issue if no noise coming from water pump it sounds good check your thermostat just changed mine and it gets up to temp a lot quicker and sits nicely between 88⁰-92⁰ hope this helps all the best.

Seller / Garage changed the battery and all resolved

hi everybody, what a terrible day for a car meet, consequently quite a few cars never turned up, only the hardy or nutters. still there was some good stuff there with my tickford being easily the oldest and well received. hope the next meeting is a little more weather friendly, i'm not sure where that may be. best regards from a wind blown and wet keith

Hi all, I'm Danny. Just got myself an Astra Coupe 15 years after my first one! Had 2 Corsa B's when I was younger before a Europa Blue Astra Coupe.

Hi PJL, we have the 2013 Meriva and expected Bluetooth but it is not present on our model. There is a 'Phone' option on the control module but, similarly, not Bluetooth device to connect to or option in the controls. I purchased the below USB/3.5mm dongle from Amazon for £12 and it works great. Plugs in low in the console towards the gearstick and plugs into the Aux 3.5mm jack. After pairing your phone once, just press the 'Aux' button to switch to your phone for music or calls. Hope this works for you.

Just posting pic of our Tigger plus wondering what the blue bit is we found in the parcel shelf. It doesn't seem to fit anywhere

hi everybody, an absolute fabulous assortment of cars, something for most people, but the lack of vauxhall cars is a bit dissapointing. only two others there. the old and the new, couldn't tell you what the white one is, some rocket ship by the look of it. best regards keith

hi everyone, very good, marvelous assembly of classic cars at the midland bus museum, 120 plus vehicles for the coffee and chrome meet. the dx drew good attention and the classic car weekly was there photographing it and wanting to know everything about it. looking forward to the next meet, bank holiday monday, chaddesley corbet village, 250 cars expected. getting used to the various foibles of the car now, steering wonder, double declutching, and i did a hand signal today!!!!!! best regards keith

Thank you very much for all your correspondence, I checked for miles or Kilometres, you were correct it was Kilometers, went back to garage and said to them as they put kilometre reading in miles on the MOT, they reset it to miles and now are going to inform DVLA about the error, I also am going to write to DVLA as it's on my MOT I'd done 34000 miles more than I had, was convinced the odometer was faulty, what an idiot I feel, now back to miles now, Thank you so much for your help much appreciated.

Hello everyone, thought I'd join here. I currently have a 2003 Astra Convertible Edition 100. I am also here to try and trace the owner of my fathers old 1939 Vauxhall 12/4 I type deluxe, Reg JPA171. Here are a few pics

Just a quick hello. I used to be a member of this forum years ago when I had an Omega Elite. The interaction there was great, I did all the work on the car myself and there were loads of guys that really knew their stuff. I'm hoping there will be some people who know lots about the Insignia VXR as I've got some issues to fix and there is not very much technical documentation on the internet, or to buy for that matter!

I have had quite a few vauxhalls over the years the latest a meriva B. previously owned Viva HB, Opel Ascona 1.6 , Opel Manta GTE , Opel Mant 2.0 Sr, Frontera 2.4 LWB Frontera 2.0 swb frontera B RS frontera B limited, frontera B Olympus, Vectra 2.0 di astra 2.0 diesel and 1.7. So brought up with all the challenges

Hi. Just bought a Mokka 1.4 turbo Tech line, My first Vauxhall in years, GREAT CAR, At my age most of the Tech [switches] will take some learning, But Still a fantastic vehicle to drive. Best Regards to ALL the club members. Banksy.

Hi folks. Stonham Barns is holding Vauxfest again this year. But this year they are allowing club stands too. If anyone is interested in attending the details are to follow.

I have an Astra G estate 1.6 Twinport 2004. I have recently updated this to a 2015 model. I want to sell the car to someone who can benefit from all the parts on the car which has been pretty much maintained regardless of expense. Maintenance has used only authentic parts or OEM upgrades such as Bilstein, Monroe and Brembo. I have a spreadsheet available detailing all replaced parts and consumables. I had to change car as 2 of the cylinders need new rings. It even has a premium Kenwood DAB+ & Bluetooth Stereo. Can anyone suggest where I might offer the vehicle, which still drives, for sale? Thanks

Hello everyone

That's definitely a nice looking beast. Was being auto a personal choice? My 02 Astra I auto, and I love it.

Popped in to say hi, I have 2000 vauxhall arena van

Hi everyone. I’ve had my insignia B for 2 days now and I love it. It drives and holds the road well. I’m so happy with it. A few things I’d like to change in it just to make it look better.

i had this issue and turns out, my key was the problem, i had a new key programmed and old keys deleted and never had this warning ever since, been going about 6 month

Hi there Richard. To manually open your boot, you need to climb in from the rear seats. Once you get in to the luggage area you need to look for a small hole near to the latch. By inserting a screwdriver into the hole, you can then release the boot. Apparently this is a common fault, and the release button will need to be replaced. I did a google search, and it came up with a couple of videos on YouTube that show you how to do all that I have described. Hope this helps, and you get it all sorted. Regards Andy

That's good news for you. Glad you got it sorted.

An airbag light should extinguish once the repair has been carried out as it looks at the system resistances each time the ignition is cycled. You should be able to get away with the clock spring if it physically fits as the resistance should be within similar spec to the original one

I've just bought a 2016 1.4Corsa E Automatic It only has 26000 miles on clock. I spotted this site so if I ever need any help with anything I can hopefully pick your brains, thanks in advance.

Hello there. The car started misfiring. I took it to my mechanic whe said it a cracked plug due to overheating. He repaired it and it was fine for a day. Unfortunately I had to take her back to the mechanic. He advised that part of the old plug had dropped in the engine and done some damage. There is a little rust over the rear offside wheel arch. The height adjustment on the drivers seat needs some attention. Due to the age we have decided to let it go. It is too good to go to the scrappers so I am hoping an enthusiast will enjoy the challenge to get her running again.

Hello does any one have a heat shield available or know where I can get one ?!? Thx very much ! Jai

hi everyone, this last sunday's meet was at the binton social club, midway between alcester and stratford on avon. it was very well attended, being a monthly event it's very popular. the weather was good so quite a variety of vehicles were in attendance, from a bubble car to a corvette!! my own favourite of the day was a beautiful 1950 mg y type almond green with almond interior, so stylish. best regards keith

hi everybody, what a lovely day at the steam rally. loads to see, mostly steam driven, organs, fairground rides, traction engines, static engines and of course a very large selection of historic vehicles. there was a vehicle there for every taste including a scammel scareb, fully restored to railway livery. my own personel favorite was a selection of 1930's austins, westminsters and yorks, simply stunning.

what you after PM me have new bonnet wing but need to know your chassis number also have complete new front end

Hi there ThomasShore. Just done some google checking, and code 68 seems to relate to the power steering, as it is electric. People are also saying that a low charge in the battery can also bring up this code, Mainly due to the steering drawing a lot of power. Have you had the battery checked to see if its holding charge? Regards Andy.

check for water ingress on the ABS module the expansion tank is above it sometimes leaks onto the module disconnect plug clean connector as the wires to power steering also go to ABS

Hello. I am kayleigh. I am a new member. I just wanted to say hello.

MOT'd till October, 106k, I have owned this car since 2008, only selling now as I have had to buy an estate for the dog. The car has been maintained regardless of cost over those years and runs perfectly, highlights include: - Timing chain replaced at around 65k. - Traction control switch fitted with all OE parts - Chris Tullet Tubular 4to1 exhaust manifold. - Stainless steel cat back exhaust (Scorpion). - Ported / polished throttle body. - GSI rear arch spats - Uprated / lowered Eibach springs. - Pioneer head unit, Pioneer speakers front (separates) and back. - EGR deleted. Now for the bad points: - Air con pump seized, replacement will be included. - Small dent in bonnet, superficial and easy repair. - small hole in exhaust downpipe flexi joint. - 1 boot hinge needs repair. Apart from the above minor issues the car is in great shape, I have tried to list everything and be as honest as possible, I am not desperate to sell the car so please don't make any silly offers.

Hi folks, Did anyone on here get to Stonham Bans for the VAUXFEST24? I went down on the Sunday, it was a nice hot day, and there were quite a selection of Vauxhall/Opel cars to browse over. Unfortunately they didn't allow any club stands, so not a lot of interaction going on between owners. If you go on the Vauxfest Facebook page, there are loads of photos of the weekend. Andy.

welcome these newer ones need a code reader these days had the frontera about same time so much similarities between omega and frontera. like yourself learning these new motors as youngest has a meriva B

Have you any update on the car problems ?

Hi I used to own a Vauxhall victor 1962 FB series column change , I would like to get hold of one if anyone can help let me know please thanks.

You are correct in most of the procedure but I would put the cap on before the temperature rises too high. Once if has had chance to settle down then release the cap when safe to do so (gradually to allow pressure to release and keep clear of the boiling water). The level will then drop slightly. Refill to the level and do the same until the level no longer drops. Always ensure the cap is tight and never release when hot and with too much pressure behind it.

Vauxhall Omega/Carlton/Senator Mk2 full service manual on microfiche (1990) These microfiches contain the full workshop service instructions for the Vauxhall Omega, Carlton and Senator models. My late father got them when he owned a Mk 2 Carlton in 1990. Rather than just chuck them I thought I'd check to see if anyone could make good use of them... an invaluable resource if you're embarking on a restoration project or just trying to keep one on the road! The microfiches are marked "06/90" (presumably June 1990) and "2nd Revised Edition". They were bought with an H-reg vehicle so that aligns perfectly. The document identifier seems to be TSD-1506/2-GB and the "article number" is 93109. There are five microfiches in total. All are in excellent condition (they were only ever used in a DIY context and never in a commercial garage) and are still in the original Opel branded envelope. The five microfiches contain: I Sections A to H II Section J (OHC petrol & CIH petrol engines) III Section J (DOHC petrol and OHC diesel engines) IV Section K V Sections L to R The section headings are: A Maintenance, body and chassis sheet metal parts B Paint C Body equipment D Heating, ventilation and air conditioning E Frame, front wheel suspension, wheels and tyres F Rear axle and rear wheel suspension [G is omitted] H Brakes [I is omitted] J Engine and engine aggregates K Clutch and transmission L Fuel and exhaust system M Steering N Electrical equipment and instruments [O to Q are omitted] R Optional equipment and accessories Microfiche readers are readily available at relatively low cost on eBay and there seem to be people that offer a microfiche-to-PDF transcription service as well. Drop me a message if they're of interest to you...
