Vauxhall Owners Club

Hi Dave ..... welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard!

It's probably leaking from the base of the windscreen. Best diagnostic method is to use a smoke generator which if placed in the footwell will show where smoke is leaking through

Great result Andy.....you may need to check the transmission fluid level with the engine running and in gear (cycle through the gears first) and obviously with the handbrake on and the wheels chocked. The level should then be between the marks if not top up. p.s. you may have already done this but thought i would mention it just in case

Damn that snow 🙂 Not much down here at all (Bournemouth) Have you got gaskets with it as well Andy?

eventually 🙂 🙂

Hi....welcome to the Forum Usually there is a build spec sheet in with the service book and pack. If not there, then possibly contact the dealers and they be able to print out a spec sheet for your car

Another winner! always something simple like that and lovely when it resolves an annoying fault at zero cost

Wow! that certainly looks grubby oil and not like the cherry red fluid that replaces it. Job well done Andy....waited a long time for this 🙂

🙂 there's always wheeler dealers to give you enthusiasm to do the job

You would need ride height sensors wired into the car to adjust the beam deflection when driving. It will also fail an MOT otherwise

I believe there are a few to choose from Best to check with Eurocarparts.com and enter your reg number to narrow it down

I would definitely get the car serviced as soon as possible. It may well be the DPF or EGR blocking up and old engine oil does not help the situation. Even if you get the oil and filter changed this would be a start and also get the garage to check the fault codes to see what is logged in memory Let us know how you get on with it all

Started watching the next series of Marcella and The Bay....quite enthralling 🙂

haha...will hold you to changing the gear oil Andy, after all this time....chances are it will rain this week though 🙂

Hi Ray.....welcome to the Forum

Hi Don...welcome to the Forum It should be replaceable as an independent component separate from the rack. Any decent garage should be able to tackle the replacement but would need wheel alignment resetting afterwards

Hi Glad you managed to resolve it. It happens on Nissan and Renault where the button actually comes away from the circuit board and can be soldered back on.

Fuel pressure is too high...try changing the fuel filter to ensure correct fuel return flow

Had the same problem on my Honda CR-V and managed to find one that switched with the ignition but can't remember which one...was probably cigar lighter or similar

Scrapyard would be your best bet or eBay

Seatbelts should be the same except I would measure the dimensions of the metal tag that fits into the buckle

Whose seen a decent series to watch over lockdown? Running out of programmes to watch now as seen so many in the last year on Netflix Leave your suggestions below, thanks!

It could be a fault with the control panel so maybe just swap it out and see if more functions work afterwards. Replaced one on a Honda recently and it worked fine without any programming

There are usually lots of mods to carry over to a vehicle which was not originally equipped with Xenon. One of the major components which you may not have on your vehicle is the suspension ride height sensors which will dip the beams when a load is applied to the vehicle. If these aren't fitted then it may prove more of a task

I think there are many different types of chips available including Tuning Boxes but the power gains are all relative to the torque increase which on a Turbo Diesel is the most important aspect of increasing power output. I used a Tuning Box successfully on a Honda and the drivability was so much better (smoother) and the only thing that was compromised was increased clutch slippage (auto adjust type clutch).
