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

Hi all, I don't have a Vauxhall, but I have a Holden. I was at the Vauxhall show at Santa Pod last year and everyone I met was very friendly and interested in the car, I hope to meet some of you at the next event. Regards JonGee

Well hello there.

Hi the names Geoff, I recently bought 14 plate mereva and will need help in dealing with this addiction thanks for reading Geoff

Hi. New member checking in, and for me, that usually means only one thing . . . I have a problem with a car! Member by proxy this time, my Daughter's car. 1600 2011 Astra Estate. I'll do some searching, then post a topic if I can't find the answer. Cheers. 'Doc' (John)

Hi....welcome to the Club Glad to see that you have resolved the numerous issues and positive outcome

I have a New "old stock", reconditioned rack for sale. It was remanufactured by UNIPART, their part No. GSR 610 E. If you send me your email address, I will forward a series of photographs. I'm looking for around £100 plus £ 15 carriage. Rodney MANNERS tel: 078 41 51 75 63

Could try getting the wheels balanced, can't feel anything through the steering though. Yes, I think it's going to be trial and error. Thanks for replying.

Yes I’m trying the other key and that seems to be ok so maybe fault with the original key

I just take it steady, and let the old girl build up speed steadily, rather than caning it. She'll plod along quite happily at 60/65mph, and around my local roads I'll average a max of about 50mph, as it's all country lanes and full of farm vehicles. But when I do get out on main roads then I will 65-70. Always a smooth build up.

A Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you and your family too. Here's to another year of happy Vauxhall motoring and hopefully some good club meets. All the Best Everyone. Regards Andy

Vauxhall omega for sale mot June 25 mileage 80000 auto matic silver

I hope no one minds me intruding (I’m a member of the Ford classic Consul/Zephyr/Zodiac club!) but I can see from my house a Victor from about 1963 or 64 which was under cover for at least 35 years but is now standing out with a For Sale notice on it. It doesn’t look perfect by any means but I’m sure somebody could have a go at making it as good as new and it’s a shame, now that it’s outside, for it to just fall to bits. It’s in Ponteland, Northumberland. I don’t have any further details, though I’m sure I can get them if anyone needs them, and I’m not sure that I can post a photo with me only being a visitor on the forum. If you need details try an email - captaingjohnson@gmail.com Let’s hope someone can give it a home.

Glad you managed to sort the running issue Andy As for the sensor I would leave it alone if its running fine and just reconnect the plug. The other component, I'm not exactly sure what it is but more than likely emissions related. Again, if the vehicle is running fine then I would be more tempted to leave it be

For sale Vauxhall Omega mileage 80000 mot June 25 £1000 ONO Silver

Hi everyone I have ordered a new 2024 facelift corsa and should be collecting any week now before Christmas and need a bit of help. I saw on sone other owner forums that people had issues with thier 23-24 plate facelift Corsa and Astras missing the ultimate badging and sills. It does state in Corsa brochure 130bp models only which is the model I ordered so I should have them. Has anyone else had the same issue as I don't know what they even look like so I cant see what I'm looking for if I need to ask the dealers if they are missing when I collect it. I can't even see anything on the review videos of 130bp model I have watched so will I actually get some kind of limited addition badging as the 130bp engine option isn't on their latest brochure stating effective Dec 3rd 24-25 only the 100bp options!? Does this also mean they have stopped to manufacture the 130np petrol engine option and therefore will be a rare car if this is the case? Plz help Regards Aaron

Bit late in replying, but if you are still after a replacement auto gear shift lever then contact a Jocko Murchie on Facebook. I know that he has one available and that quality will be good and he can be trusted as I have bought stuff from him before.

Maybe disconnect the battery leave for a few minutes and reconnect. then try to set the clock and see what happens

Good Evening, I have just found this Group, and am looking forward to getting to know fellow Vauxhall enthusiasts I am the proud owner of a 2003 Vauxhall Omega 2.6 v6 CDX Estate / Wagon. I'll pop up some photos when I have a spare mo.......

I have an exhaust for a Nova, it's been in the loft for years. If you can collect from Stevenage its yours.

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

Apologies, moved to Zafira group

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

Hello. My name is Brian. I have been the proud owner of the vehicle for over twenty years. Sadly there is an issue which needs some professional work. It has 137000 miles on the clock. Due to the age my wife wants a new vehicle. If anyone is in the market for a project please let me know

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, today, sunday, the meeting was the wings and wheels at bidford on avon glider club. a very flat acreage stretching into the distance. it was blustery, not raining, but very chilly in that wind. a lot of cars turned up and among them three yes three vauxhalls, so good to see. when you go to these meetings there are many interesring and beautiful marques to admire and that is what i like about them. what is the likelyhood of the dx alongside that 220, marvellous!! best regards keith

Hi I am new to this club and would like some help. Does anyone have a air intake hose for a 86 D reg cavalier? Or know what alternative to get?

@Isla could this be the answer

Welcome to the forum. Wow your recent purchase sounds interesting. Please feel free to share some photos with the group of this very old classic. It's probably the oldest car in the group ??

Just checked DVLA website, and it's registered as green, so it's my eyes that were up the creak. . And it states that it has the 3.6 engine.

Yes, can see what you mean.....maybe the owner had it sprayed black (possibly)?

Hi there, I know its 5 months after you posted, but did you get to the problem of your auto box slipping.? It could be low transmission fluid.
