Hi , I wonder if anyone can help , I brought an 08 Astra twin top 6 months ago , and the horn stopped working more or less the min I brought it , then I had an issue with it not starting sometimes , and the controls on the steering gone a bit weird , so I did I little research and found that it is prob a cim problem as. Astra had been recalled for it years ago , anyway my question is if I got a cim from eBay , and a mechanic to fit it , does it have to be programmed to car and keys ? And would a normal mechanic be able to do this ? I did purchase a clip from Vauxhall that can be put in steering and may fox the issue but I have no faith in a piece of plastic if I’m honest and fear I need a whole cim - any advice would be most welcome

Please someone help , I had my spanner light come on so I took local garage they diagnosed cam shaft sensor fault , they replaced 2 sensors ( 179 pound including labour ) now although light gone off every 3/4 th attempt to start car it doesn’t start then I turn back the key and it starts fine , I been back garage 3 times they just fobbing me off ( I’m a girl ) and saying it’s fine but obv it’s not , I had no starting issues before and I’m worried continue use will cause more damage … any advice ?
