Vauxhall Owners Club

Thanks for sharing the piccys.....looks like a great turnout and lucky with the weather

Hi...welcome to the Club Hope you're still enjoying the Insignia

Hi...welcome to the Club It would not only require the hardware (wheel, switches, etc) but also need coding into the Body Control Module (BCM) for it to operate and that would require dealer level diagnostic equipment to carry this out

Hi....welcome to the Club Quite a collection of nice Vauxhalls in the past 🙂 Any questions, fire away and hopefully someone may know the answers

What seems to be the problem?

A proper traditional British steam fair event - and a day of perfect weather by the look of it

defintitely sound like battery needs replacing. If you can restart it the light should go out then it is the battery

Sounds like its getting blocked and needs high engine revs (for a period of time - maybe thrash up motorway in a lower gear until it runs clear)

vacuum leak, sticking throttle, many reasons it could be....needs scanning to get a more accurate diagnosis

some lovely models which I can't remember the last time I would have seen one of the on the road

another array of fine machines, especially love the pick up trucks! I remember having a Ford Popular, same as the Anglia in the last photo which had vacuum wipers and if you accelerated or went up a hill they virtually stopped but down the other side they then went so fast the blades almost fell off 🙂

what a lovely collection of fine machines....luckily it looks like you had nice weather which is a bonus

Post it on here if you wish?

The trouble is its so hard to tell what the weather is going to be in the UK so therefore choosing temperature related oil weights is a pure guessing game. Hotter countries used to change between 'weights' (viscosity) from summer to winter and vice versa. Nowadays the oil weight is structed to be variable between temperature ranges More importantly than anything is the suitability (ACEA, SAE ratings, etc) which are crucial to engine wear and protection. Ensure it is correct and weight is not as important

Any suitable shampoos from Halfords would do and the staff are usually quite knowledgable about the various ones

Hi Its hard to tell the modifications which have been made and only by putting it on a dyno to test run it and provide power output readings will give you the answer You are welcome to advertise it through the For Sale section of the forums if you want to

if the fan is working on the highest speed then it is a faulty resistor pack which alters the fan speed If not working at all then more than likely the motor....try thumping it from under the dash when the blower is switched on and if working then brushes are worn out and need new motor...cheap and relatively easy to fit

HI John, welcome to the Club Luckily Corsa mechanical and service parts are in abundance and at low cost so mechanically it won't take a lot to get up to scratch Body panels and trim, well not sure but may find cheap parts new or otherwise secondhand parts may be suitable Good luck with it all and let us know how you get on with it all

Yes a loose pressure cap means the coolant will boil at a lower temperature.

might get some info from here https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/

Good luck with the resto....although they were pretty solid and had reliable engines back then

Hi...welcome to the Club Fine looking Vauxhall, that part looks like the cover that goes on the underside of the dash / footwell area - either drivers or passenger side, not sure which exactly

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