Have you thought of swapping the ballast from one side to the other to prove the wiring and connections are okay.

Hi....welcome to the Forum
It sounds like the turbo variable vanes are gummed up.
If you drive the car around locally and not take on long runs then this can occur.
-
Certainly looks stylish enough
Still sunny here in Dorset, long way from here now then?
-
It would probably be the same for the Astra, AndyR
-
Well you have certainly improved the looks of it and made it quite unique....proper job!
-
Hi Jack....welcome to the Forum
That's an aggressive front end of the car, looks great!
What other mods have you done to it so far?
Good to have you onboard
-
Let us know how you get on with it

Hi....welcome to the Forum
I would be tempted to reinstate the EGR and put a blanking plate (with a small hole for the gas to be sensed by the engine management) to extinguish the EML.

Hi....welcome to the Forum
I would advise to take it into a transmission specialist who can diagnose the issue and it may well be that it needs a fluid and filter change which could improve the overall function of the gearbox operation.
Generally, the fluid and filter replacement would not cost too much money and will definitely give longevity to the transmission -
that's a dilemma and one which is difficult to decide whether to leave it or just get it done and then not having to worry about it?

Hi...welcome to the Forum
Feel free to add to the banter!

Sorry, not sure about the seal but I suppose that if in doubt it would be worth replacing before it fails
-
Hi....welcome to the Forum
Sorry we dont have any Club stickers or tshirts for this club and we dont have any meetings as yet (but you are more than welcome to set up one if you like).

I don't know about the kangeroo running but restricted revs could be the turbo variable vanes gummed up.
Try cleaning the turbo with a proper turbo cleaning solution

If it only happens when its cold then I would imagine it to be a coolant temperature sensor.
If you plug in the OBD reader, can you select live data and read the coolant temperature when its cold.
If its a ridiculous reading such as -30 degrees Centigrade or +25 degrees Centigrade for example then it is out of range but not flagging a code.Let us know what you find

Hi Alan.....welcome to the Forum
I would try somewhere like Timpsons as the can cut later type transponder keys at reasonable cost
-
Not sure why the ABS light would suddenly come on after the garage visit unless they did some work on the brakes or suspension and forgot to plug in the sensor?
-
it will be on or very near the heater fan unit
-
Hi...welcome to the Forum
It would be worth having a 'combustion sniff test' done on the coolant to determine if there is any combustion gasses present in the coolant suggesting that the head gasket is on its way out.
Let us know what you find

Hi Andy
It will be the heater resistor pack at fault.
Replace that and all other speeds will return to normal
-
Hi...welcome to the Forum
I would imagine pre-facelift doors should fit okay.
Usually, a facelift is just that...revised bumpers, grille, etc. used to update the looks of the car. -
Hi JDL.....welcome to the Forum
Good to have you onboard
-
First thoughts would be to scan the ECU and see what codes are stored.
Otherwise, if it is temperature related when the fault occurs then it may be the Coolant Temperature Sensor at fault

Is the coil pack a combined one (e.g. 4 coils on a rail) or are they individual coils?
Also, have a look at the wiring going to number 3 cylinder coil pack for damage
Insignia - what is this part?

It looks like a breather pipe going into it
What's wrong with it
