It could be an old radio with analogue stations being broadcast on AM and FM 

I wouldn't go lowered for everyday use considering how many potholes the roads have

Lamp is showing an Engine Management fault lamp 

Best bet is to get a scanner to extract fault codes

To be fair, the Motronic Engine Management system used on the car is very simple and usually completely reliable
 

 

Glad you managed to get to the show Andy and also that it was lovely weather as well

Will have a look at the pictures soon, did you show your car there?

Are the brakes binding?

Have you any update on the car problems ?

If you bought it from a dealership then I would refer LV to them to answer the question
 

What gear are you in and what road speed are you doing when trying to get to boost?
Possibly too high gear and worth trying it by knocking it down a gear?

It may be the clutch components (cover/pressure plate) that is heavy.
Additionally, there may be corrosion build up on the splines which may it a bit heavier on the clutch depression but that would normally result in clutch dragging (slight delay when pulling away)
 

How strange, have seen secondhand parts marked up like this but what it is in connection to? (accident damage?)

I believe the LED bulbs are at the end of their life it they are glowing dimly
Also, check connections for any high resistance, e.g. corrosion on terminals, etc

Crankshaft sensor quite possibly?

Hi FRONTERATECH ...welcome to the Club

Good to have you onboard

Maybe worth checking the replaced sensor connection is tight, correct, etc as not sure if the circuit is a series connection (meaning if one sensor is out the lot go out - like a christmas tree)

On the indicator stalk there is a bit you can twist/roll, this changes the display to the various different displays

Go into settings and select unit settings. Depending on the model of your car it's accessed by either pressing the set button or selecting settings on the screen

 

Maybe worth contacting the dealer to see if you should have any correspondence relating to the breakdown cover

Maybe better to go for a reconditioned unit with a good warranty

The fluid in the existing box will tell a story of whether the clutch plates are worn out - smells of burnt toast and the filter should have trapped lots of debris. Which means the death knell for that gearbox.

 

Vauxhall gearboxes are renowned for being weak but still carry on until they finally go - which can be years, running with noisy gears, poor selection, etc

Check the large fuse / fuseable link for damage (e.g. cracks or burn marks)

Also, check the battery condition as this can drop to a low voltage when starting and this can flag fault codes

Grey/Blue smoke could be oil being burnt....valve seals possibly.

Does the smoke smell of oil?

Does it occur when hot or cold?

Have you looked at the ones in Halfords?

I'm sure they have different size connectors in the range

Not entirely sure, but try holding the power button or maybe even the brightness level should switch to low illumination 

Let us know how you get on with it

Superb figure to achieve.....well done Andy 🙂

 

I've usually kept the vehicle weight on the ground and used an impact wrench on the nut and its worked.
As it is rubber mounted at the top of the damper then this can absorb some of the impact from the wrench and cancel out the torque being applied. Also may be worth using a long breaker bar if you can get it in the space
Can always spin it on a couple of turns to jack it up again

Maybe take it to a garage with a bigger impact wrench to see if it shifts
