These guys do repairs on your cluster and if you get another panel you may need to recode it to the car so maybe best option to repair?

Let us know how you get on with this

Hi billyboy ...welcome to the Club
Good to have you onboard!
-
Hi....welcome to the Club
Unfortunately, we don't have anything planned for this year
Great project car, keep us updated with the progress
-
Hi Keith.....welcome to the club
Two Corsas...now thats just greedy
-
I imagine once the unit is coded to the car so that it functions then it would also need an aerial to receive the signal
Possibly you could mirror link a phone sat nav function to the existing unit and run Waze or TomTom, would be a better and cheaper option with no expensive update discs or cards required
-
Not sure but possibly may look similar to this
-
That sounds like the turbo variable vanes are sticking with carbon
If the EGR was clogged up then chances are the turbo is also
You can use a Turbo Cleaner solution to clear it through and go from there
-
I would look at the earth to the pump when it is fitted to the vehicle and if not good then fit a substitute earth lead to see if that improves the voltage readings
-
Let us know how you get on and what the fault is
-
I would try a 'dry run' if you can access some new wheels and tyres by fitting them front and rear on one side to see if they catch anything and also turn lock-to-lock without fouling the arches or liners.
-
I wonder if there was a short-circuit when the holder broke?
In which case fuses would be my first port of callHowever, worth checking the obvious such as blown bulb and also any earth points that may be corroded or loose
-
Crikey thats an unusual one!
I would start at the battery terminals and work you way to the fusebox and look at fuses and relays as there must be a fault with the power distribution circuit
Start with the bigger cables (and connectors) and work your way through the smaller ones if not immediately obvious.
Don't forget to check earth cables and connection points -
Sounds possible with the semiconductor worldwide shortage and some options were dropped to continue selling vehicles that weren't fully loaded but generally fit for purpose.
I wonder if it is possible to retrofit them if Vauxhall do a kit with components and simply plug and play, worth asking them in case this is an option now
-
Generally plenty of adapters and fascia plates to fit an aftermarket audio and camera
If you can get a camera that connects to the reverse light bulb to feed it even better as some are bluetooth connection to the head unit -
The brakes do normally have a dust cover but if the discs are worn and fitting new pads will decrease the efficiency of the braking for a period.
If the cost is not too bad for the discs then maybe worth fitting at this stage -
It could be clogged up with carbon and an engine clean with a company such as Terraclean may resolve this issue
-
I would start with replacing the coolant sensor first but coolant will overpressurise if air is allowed to enter the system (e.g. through a leaking sensor or coolant pressure cap that is weak)
-
If the oil is thin through diesel washdown then this can cause the oil to thin and leak everywhere
Turbo would be my first thought for oil leaks and also burning oil
-
Not sure then, first thoughts are the clutch or brake pedal are not pushed down hard enough as this has caught me out before
-
Could start by spraying some Electrical Cleaner into the switch to see if that makes any difference
If not then quite possibly a replacement is needed -
Does the vehicle have a decent DAB aerial?
If not, then I believe you can get boosters to draw in the stations -
You have an issue with the engine management and would require a scan of the control unit to see what fault codes are stored in memory
They all have a meaning and can be interpreted quite easily
Get the scan and then get back to us with the codes
-
Sounds par for the course I'd say
My motorbike does exactly the same (although sitting on a sidestand I can see why it would be slightly lower) but always rectifies itself when rolling up the road

Start with the battery and work your way through the system
Sounds much like this is the issue.
If you can jump start it then drive to Halfords and they can test it and replace if necessary
