Hi....welcome to the Club It seems that new exhaust systems are becoming hard to get hold of nowadays Always best bet to start looking on eBay as you can see availability and price comparisons

Firstly, check your brake fluid level as the warning light looks similar and then see if there is too much slack on the handbrake lever (e.g. floppy at rest and lots of movement before it gets to the first ratchet click)....if so, then top up the fluid and investigate why it has gone down (could be worn brake pads) and then adjust the handbrake lever (which could also be associated with worn pads) Let us know how you get on with it

Vauxhall insignia rear light bulbs upgrade .
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to legons's topic in Vauxhall Insignia Club
I don't think there should be an issue with fitting the correct LED bulbs, try another (reputable - not Chinese) bulbs and see if they work -
It sounds like the tyres may have been swapped around recently and some may be slightly below pressure. Try inflating all tyres to slightly above the recommended pressure (you can always let some out later if required) and go for a drive to see if that makes any difference. If a low tyre pressure has been registered then the headlamp alignment (via the suspension sensors) would recognise a slight deviation in vehicle height on one side, e.g. if the car has been driven on a flat tyre or sat in a driveway/forecourt with a flat tyre for a while)

Sounds like the fluid is leaking past the seals in the master cylinder (like internal bleeding so it doesn't leak out but the pressure just drops as fluid leaking between the seals) I would be tempted to install a repair kit (seals, etc) in the master cylinder as they are rebuildable from memory A very easy job to do just ensure you soak the new seals in fresh brake fluid overnight and try to clean up the bore first

Remove 2016 Insignia Gear Stick Knob
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to talkdown's topic in Vauxhall Insignia Club
Try unscrewing it first if not then it may bash upwards (similar to VW) but don't have your head directly over the top (done that one before -
Is the engine turbocharged?

I'm sure small blocks of high density foam would work nicely

You should be able to purchase a wheel stud and new nut The stud will beat out of the back of the hub flange and then just feed the new stud in and tighten down to the correct torque

Exhaust gas temperature sensor
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to AshleyM's topic in Vauxhall Insignia Club
I would say that the fault shouldn't have recurred unless the part is faulty (as it may actually be the case). If the part is faulty then the garage should replace it under warranty (part supplier will pay for the replacement part and labour time) Let us know how you get on with it all -
Faded red 1993 corsa b
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to David Parkinson's topic in 1993 to 2000 Corsa
Usually the paint can be restored by using T-Cut and a lot of elbow grease. It does take time but once restored it can be sealed in with a good quality UV protective wax polish which should stop if from recurring in the future -
I would be tempted to take it to an independent garage to get the job done there at a fraction of the cost. There are a few good garages in Gosport area so you shouldn't struggle to get it done at a price that suits you if you shop around a bit

Electric fan constantly running.
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to AndyR's topic in 2009 Onwards Astra
Great result Andy! Thanks for the update, worth knowing about the corrosion issue and worth swapping out if it is that cheap for the replacement part -
Fuel gauge/ Windows intermittent fsult
Vauxhall Owners Club replied to Mainrbrt's topic in 2004 to 2009 Astra
I would check the fusebox and look for anything untoward especially water ingress or loose/burnt connections Also check the battery terminals are clean and tight -
More than likely to be a professional job but would also enhance engine performance slightly if you wish
