Hi there, and welcome to the forum. Hope you are enjoying your Grandland Elite.

Welcome to the forum. Good to hear the feedback on your Zafira. I've heard good reviews from other sources about Zafiras being a great vehicle, and like you said, " does what it says on the tin.."

Sounds like you've got a good car. Look forward to seeing those pictures.

The worst hour ever. But worth it. Here's to another year of Happy motoring.

Well all work done, and now for the dreaded mot, had to give her a nice wash down before I take her.

Hi there, yes I do try to keep the old girl going. I was lucky when I bought her, as she'd been kept by the same family, father to son to father, then I acquired her. So a good service and repair history too. I've been doing bits ready for the dreaded mot, which I am going to try and book tomorrow. Once that's out of the way, I'll be preparing for a cambelt change. I've never done one before, so a little nervous. I am hoping that it isn't too bad a job. Have a feeling I will be doing water pump as well, got a little leak in that area. Wish me luck.

Hi I had this problem with my Astra when I bought it. It turned out to be the Heater Blower Motor Resistor. It was an awkward job to do, but once replaced, all controls were back working as they should. If you have a Haynes manual for your Corsa, it should show you where it is situated. On my Astra, it is at the bottom of the heater motor on the passenger side. It just plugs into the motor casing, and has electrical connection. Hope this helps. Andy.

Hi Vincente, its nice to hear that you chose Vauxhall for your transport. Or is it an Opel? Hope the Zafira serves you well. Regards Andy

Hi Paul, and welcome to the club. Good to hear that you are enjoying your Vauxhall experience. We hope your wife has chose a nice name for the car. Happy motoring. Andy

Well finally got wishbones and both shocks all replaced. A few other little jobs to do, and then I can see about getting an mot booked. Looking all tidy under the front now.

Welcome to the forum, so nice to hear of how people are enjoying their cars. I've had an Astra G auto for the last 4 years, and absolutely love it. Keep up the happy motoring, and stick some pictures on here when you get a chance.

Hi there, is the damage easily fixable, and would it be a cheaper option than replacing whole car?

Wow an Astra F, and i thought my G was getting on a bit. Looking forward to seeing some pictures. And having a recordable history too. Well done for saving it.

A Merry Christmas to you too. And to all the members, may 2024 be a fun filled year.

Thank you for that irmscher. Its been bugging me for quite some time now. It would also explain why the speedo is very erratic when I first pull away of a morning. Looks like I'll be sorting out a new bearing in the new year. Thanks again, and Merry Christmas. Regards Andy

Hi there, is there any trapped or broken wires in the loom going into the door, and is it just the one door giving you problems.

Oh yes, your mind of Knowledge will be sought of by all concerned. Welcome aboard. I could probably think of some questions for you, but not tonight.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Nice to hear of another Astra fan. I am on my second Astra G, and absolutely love them.

Regular services, and a bit of tlc, and it should last the course. I'm doing about 80 miles a week so not too bad, used to be best part of 200 whilst kids were in high school.

Hi there, and welcome. No you're not the only Vauxhall lover. . I too have an Astra, but mines a little older. 2002 Astra G 1.6 club. Although I am the 5th owner, it has only been with 2 families. Mine being the 2nd. She has just clicked over 230,000 miles, so not doing too bad. Regards Andy

Hi Les, I have just been watching some videos on fuel filter replacements on Corsa's of your year. They have shown that it is under the bonnet. Either behind the air filter, at the back below the windscreen. Or beside the brake fluid reservoir. Hope this helps. Regards Andy.

Hi Davep, glad to hear you got your vxr sorted. Obviously being a higher spec motor it prefers the e5. My old girl seems to prefer the e10. As I mentioned in previous posts, it was splutters and sluggish for a bit, but a good service, and she seems happy again. Just recently did a trip of nearly 300 miles, and she returned 59.6 mpg, at a steady 60mph. I must be doing something right.
