rear demister not working
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to john wright's topic in Vauxhall Insignia Club
Hi John.....welcome to the Forum It is possible that the current is shared by both items, assuming it can be switched independently. I would start by first checking the fuses to see where the power is going off to an also check the wiring near the screen -
Problem with front lights.
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to Dave567's topic in Vauxhall Insignia Club
I recently encountered a similar issue with a Honda and this came down to the fact that I fitted cheap (Chinese) bulbs and igniters....massive mistake. Fitted quality (but a lot more expensive) components and problem solved. Also, another issue I had was that the fitment was not as precise connection as the better quality component and didn't alway make good contact. It is worth double checking connection, etc but also check any earth leads (which will be close by and connected to the bodywork. If in doubt, run additional earth cables to the light units to ensure that the current ci -
Returning member after seeing the light
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to Mixa's topic in New Members Introductions
Hi MIxa....welcome to the Forum Welcome back to the wonderful world of Vauxhall -
I would reiterate what Andy has said and a good oil service may cure the fault. Additionally, oil pressure light switches do tend to fail and also leak oil> Very cheap to replace and easy to do as well

Hi....welcome to the Forum Probably the best option would be something like Osram or Phillips performance bulbs that advertise putting out something like 30% more light and brighter colour (e.g. white or blue tint) to cut through the dark. Halfords sell them and will fit them at a small cost

Stop/Start has never worked on Crosslandx
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to Susan Hornsby's topic in Crossland X
Hi Susan....welcome to the Forum It is a feature that can be switched on and off and also has to take into account other factors such as battery condition so if the vehicle hasn't been used as it should (owing to Covid lockdown) then this may be the reason why. However, if you contact your dealer then they may be able to sort this very easily for you (switching it on). -
Looking to buy a 2.0cdti Insignia
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to Iceman29's topic in Vauxhall Insignia Club
Hi Iceman29 ..... welcome to the Forum I think you'll find that the reliability of the 1.7cdti engine was perfectly adequate for the era and most are still carrying out with huge miles behind them. However, the 2.0cdti is not suppose to be as reliable, unless any other members can dispel this rumour? Worth digging a bit deeper to establish what issues may lay ahead -
Hi Kenneth....welcome to the Forum They were superb cars back then but did suffer from the tin-worm slightly. Had a PA Cresta, couple of Carltons and an Omega....all superb cars and could compete with most other brands back then. Good to have you onboard

How did you get on with the oil change and hope the back is better now. At least you have swapped the rain for the cold 🙂
