red astra

Hi there, Intend to remove front seats by disconnecting battery (to fit seat covers) On refit of the seats, will it be necessary to reset airbag lights? Astra j 1.6 2013 hatchback

Cheers m8, got a pair of Monroe shocks on order for £60

Any recommendations for rear shocks for astra 1.6 hatch 2013. Fitted a set just over 2 yrs ago. They done 20 k miles and are rattling like hell. Looking for long lasting but not too expensive

Found out plugs and coil pack defective. Changed them...... Disconnected and reconnected battery and away we went

Hi There, Just a thought Astra 1.6 j 2009-2015 hatch. Think it's going to be a cold winter so I am thinking about a/freeze change as car getting on a bit and has done about 93k miles. As far as I am aware it has never had a changed as far as I know has always been topped up with water. Book says it is filled for life. But may be weak due to top ups. Do you reckon I should change it. If so what type is recommended to replace?

Hi there, Another problem came up. Noticed slight misfire when started car, drove 1/4mile and traction control light came on with the eml light flashing. Read that could be coil or plugs at fault. Opted for cheapest 1st which was the plugs. Drove about 5ml to get plugs and eml stayed on (not flashing). Got home and replaced plugs but fault still there. Still misfiring on idle and both lights on. I have ordered coil pack. Now, where do I look if it doesnt solve problem. Secondly if it does cure misfire will the lights automatically go out? If not can I reset ecu without scanner tool. (heard if you disconnect battery it can reset ecu) Don't want to take to stealer as they quoted £70 just to find the fault. If a obd11 tester is required does anyone know of a cheap one that will do the job. Been looking on Internet and they vary in price from cheap to really expensive. Would want one that will do this job so basic one would do. Thanks for any help you could give. BTW It's a vx p10 1.6 hatch 2013 A16-xer

Thought so as well. Just Mr haynes says to set trim heights between wheel arch and centre hub b4 torquing bolts.

Hi there, It's me again. Last time I asked on where to source the parts for Watts linkage. These arrive on weds. Has anyone done these b4? I have read the manual 2/3 times and it suggests doing it on axle stands. I was wondering if I remove the links on car ramps ( more room to work.)refit and tighten centre link bracket, connect the bars hand tight and lower to ground, jack up and remove wheels and tighten bars at required torque ensuring trim height are correct. Would this be acceptable or is it better to do it on stands. Only got a low lift jack which would be a tight squeeze. Another question... Do I need to remove exhaust or is it possible to get away without doing this? Any help would be really appreciated

Hi there, I have an astra 1.6 j 2013 with Watts linkage on the rear suspension. Found 1 of the bushes slightly worn. Don't know if I can obtain a bush or the full rod. Tried e bay and all the usual sites (don't want to go to dealers if poss due to excess price). Can anybody tell me if bushes available or if a complete rod. Can anybody tell me a source where I can obtain said part. Many thanks in advance

Hi Guys, anybody know how to remove the gearknob on the astra 1.3cdti mk5 H estate to replace the gaiter. Every forum says you cant. They all say the gaiter slides over the knob. It looks rather tight for that. If anyone knows or has replaced can you tell me how to do it? ty in advance
