Hi, my temperature gauge is not working like it should. On an average day, it doesn't move, even when at running temp. But, when you've bee sitting in traffic for a while, it starts to move up to the normal position. What could be causing this? and is it an easy fix? Thanks in advance Andy.

That was Timpsons that quoted me the best part of £200 to get one sorted. Have since been told of a shop in a nearby town that can do it for a third of that price. So next pay day is looking good.

It does seem to be doing well considering the previous owner was a young lad. It is need of some tlc, but i'll get there over the summer. If the engine is as good as the cavalier sri that i owned quite a few years ago, then i know that i have plenty of mileage left in her. Cavalier was a 1990 2.0ltr SRi 8valve 5-door hatch. Pulled like a trojan and when i finally had to scrap her due to the rear springs coming through. She had 260,000+ miles on the clock. I do have some niggly probs that i might need advice on, if i can't sort out myself. So i will be a regular visitor to this site. Do you have a parts for sale page? new or secondhand. As i will be looking for some replacement wheels. Those that are fitted aren't that great, had to remove one as it was breaking up. Regards Andy.

Hi there. I have just joined the club, after buying a 2003 Astra G model. Unfortunately it only came with 1 key. I have been told that to get another one cut and programmed to the car, its going to cost £160. £40 of that is for them to go online to retrieve the code for the key. Is there a cheaper way of getting another key sorted. Thanks in advance, Andy.

Hello everyone. I have just recently purchased a 2003 Astra G. And what a great car it is. Needs a bit of TLC as it was previously owned by a young driver. After removing the monster stickers, and other boy racer decals it now looks more like the family car I need. It has just clocked 100,000 miles, and I will be servicing her soon. New front pads are the first job on the list of "to do's". I am in mid norfolk, so if there are any other members nearby, I would like to meet and pick brain cells on a few queeries I have concerning my car. Regards all . Andy.
