Most clutch plates can handle a stage 1 tune but when power is loaded onto it then the cover/pressure plate sometimes does not clamp sufficiently to deliver the load

It would be a temperature sensed fan running as it needs to in order to maintain a constant operating temperature at all times

Moved post to For Sale section to promote response

Not sure about the compatibility of the locks but it may at least be a short term measure to avoid the door flying open? Maybe also you could strip down both parts and make a good one out of the two?

you should be able to replace the lead but you may also be able to source an adapter possibly?

Thanks for the very detailed guide to fitting the tow bar electrics. You seem to have done it very methodically and very neat installation.

Please let us know as it would be good to find out for future reference if it is an issue with sump gaskets on this model or a defective oil filter brand

can you swap the sensors (e.g. the lead connections) so that the fault if present with the sensor is switched to number 1 and this will confirm a fault

I would recommend anything that is manufactured in UK or Europe, obviously avoid the cheap options as they are cheap for a reason. I guess you could source the parts yourself and get the garage to fit the new ones, especially if they have failed in less than a year they would fit it cheaper for you

Sorry to hear that but I guess it is a fault you could live with and the car may give you many years of reliable service so you can recoup some of the money back on it

You can get aftermarket sounds deadening but ensure it is fireproof and not capable of sagging onto the engine. Wind deflectors are the best way forward and will definitely improve the wind noise

from memory the fuel pump is actuated by the system relay which I think is the one in the photo. it needs a crankshaft signal which if not present (e.g. crank sensor faulty) then it won't run the system relay

I wouldn't have thought the 2009 model has bluetooth but you could get an after-market audio system with bluetooth

Slight perforation in the oil filter spraying a fine mist onto the engine block. Also, it could be a poor gasket on the sump

It may be worthwhile getting a stainless steel system custom made (around £250) and will last the life of the car.

Sounds like the light switch on the steering column has gone faulty

Common Rail fuel pressure sensor is on the end of the fuel injector rail. Turbo boost pressure sensor is usually on the output hose/pipe from the turbo

I agree with AndyR and if it was me I would introduce a hosepipe into the filler but start with low pressure to see if you can build up enough liquid to raise the blockage to the top. If not, then it would be a case of removing the bottle and investigating further

Hi....welcome to the Club It would be worth checking the vehicle battery condition along with the fob battery condition first and then investigate from there. Other checks could be on battery leads and terminal tightness and condition.

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

Fair enough, its a good compromise to be able to both drive it and best time of the year for a convertible. I normally drive a BMW Z3 which is such joy driving with the hood down. I noticed a bike in the garage in one of the photos.....what other bikes do you have? (have a Harley in my collection but always looking for something else as well)

Any luck getting one or did you have to bite the bullet with getting from the dealers?

Eurocarparts should be able to provide most parts for the Vectra

Hi Barry.....welcome to the Club, The Omega is a superb car, had one years ago and always gave reliable service throughout my ownership. Looks in lovely condition and great colour as well Good to have you onboard!

A few different ones here https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=vauxhall+insignia+tailgate+control+module&_sacat=0 New or used, not sure if they would need coding into the vehicle though
