I would be looking at the SRS clockspring as the culprit in this case as the information for the horn and steering wheel controls all run through this.
Either way, if you want to inspect or replace any components behind the steering wheel it is a job that needs to be tackled with care to avoid deploying the steering wheel airbag -
Not sure, but if in doubt then raise it with the seller to see if they will get an inspection on the transmission (oil change, etc) otherwise if it doesn't whine in normal service then not sure I would worry about it

Hi....welcome to the Club
The old Astra is definitely a great car and not sure progress has been kind to the Astra name over the years
Good to have you onboard with your Crossland and hope it serves you well

Hi
Unfortunately, we are unfamiliar with this model on this side of the pond.
I would be looking at the domestic market for any info on the car -
The new unit would more than likely need coding but if you plug in like-for-like and its just the CD storage/driver unit then it may work

Hi....welcome to the Club
I imagine a car of that age you should still be able to source that through the Vauxhall dealership...not sure of cost though
-
Unfortunately, we do not hold any official records in our database so you would have either have to contact the military or your local Vauxhall dealership
Here is a list of official clubs that the DVLA recognises to date vehicles, for your reference

Local dealership may be able to assist you with the age verification as it should translate from the VIN number build date (depending if it has come from abroad as they sometimes do with the forces)

Hi....welcome to the Club
I would say the best bet would be used parts from a scrapyard and even better if you can source the correct colour parts as well

Hi.....welcome to the Club
Good to have you onboard!

Hi....welcome to the Club
Definitely the local dealership can provide one and should be able to identify the specific type if you take the car in so the parts department can see it

Looks good and cheap effective solution
-
Yes it should only have the one bolt and then you can remove it
Although I'm not entirely sure that you can successfully clean it as any sprays may destroy the sensor?
It should not have any oil or fuel entering the sensor and if you find this is the case then it may already be damaged. -
Pricey but the overall effect may be worth it I guess....will wait to see the photos

It may be prudent to resolve the oil leak before it turns into something larger and you lose oil to the turbo which would be disastorous
Check all fittings going to and from the turbo are tight -
A transmission that has been serviced should be fine.
Depending on mileage then maybe factor in a fluid and filter change if one has not been carried out previously-

Try this.

Yep thats about right for Amazon, they source rubbish from Asia and you get what you pay for really
Can't go wrong with quality parts that cost more but don't need constantly replacing
-
sorry but can't find anything on the net, found the circuit boards for sale in Germany on eBay but that is about it
Obviously, being sensitive electronics you wouldn't want to reverse connect any terminals so maybe an electronics expert can tell you which one is likely to do what and then go from there

Lotus Carlton comes to mind
Not sure if there is anyone who does any replica body panels though
Feel free to post up some pics and more details about the car...sounds very interesting

I would start by having the battery checked and replaced if necessary
A lot of the faults you mentioned can be down to a depleted battery (even if it is not that old) as they sulphate if not used for some time.
You could also use a battery conditioner to keep the battery in good order when its not being used for a period of time -
Be aware that it could be a loose (worn) cambelt/camchain and this leads to the cam sensor being out of phase with the crank sensor
If there is any rattling coming from the engine or an overdue oil and filter change then it would be prudent to look at this before spending big money on replacement parts
-
Sounds like it could be a defective header tank pressure cap.
Replace it and see if that resolves the issue -
Hi, not sure if you have managed to resolve this issue now but it should be held by small bolts or screws I would imagine.
If in doubt can you send us a photo of what you can see with the door card removed
