Hi mk3ers I'm after a pair of rear inline brake bias valves off a GSi, you'll find them bolted to the rear flexie lines at the chassis end as per my pic. They will/should have 3/20 stamped on them somewhere.

I have a genuine Valeo wiper arm off a Citroen ZX used to convert the Astra mk3 to single wiper, had this as a spare but decided to let it go. Comes with undamaged plastic fixing cover and nut. To get the full sweep on your screen you simply need to extend your existing fitting by 10mm that...

We’ve not used the Astra mk3 V6 this year but it was MOT time this month so I went the long way and thoroughly enjoyed the drive there. It was then a nail-biting time, will it or won’t it pass. I need not fear as it’s got another year’s clean health stamp with a whopping 70 miles between...

Kev_mk3 it's been out & about at numerous shows/meets this year & will be at Vaux Valves on Saturday. I'm loving the V8 life & the supercharger is the icing on the cake.

It was a great show with some lovely motors, saw the estates together which looked great. I had my tiny engined beastie there ;)

I second GAZ coilovers as I ran these on my Astra mk2 (same as mk3) and they were fantastic value for money and great for track and road.

The wife and I have considered selling the mk3 but can't bring ourselves to do it just yet as we both enjoy owning it, even though it's the wife's car. I thoroughly enjoy my tinker time on it while she loves driving it. It hasn’t been out to play this year due to the previously mentioned new toy...

Great work with the roof lining, I've got the wife's mk3 to sort but will probably outsource the fix once I've removed it to save me faffing lol.

Are you still running hydraulic lifters or solid? To get more top end I'd recommend solid lifters so you can safely go wilder but this can increase costs due to the shim work required to get them set correctly, unless you're doing this yourself. Another cam to consider are those on offer from...

The wife and I have discussed selling the mk3 last year but we both aren’t quite ready just yet so it got dug from its Winter downtime with the dehumidifier checked and found to be rather full after 6 months! I then noticed the sagging headliner which had got much worse so I’ll be removing...

Check your WhatsFlapping AndyB-Redtop but I don't want a swap so you could easily cover the costs ;)

Glad you're all sorted but I'll point out my post above regards number of teeth as I did mention it. The vast majority of 90s Vaux use 29 teeth per revolution but there are a very small number of ABS from that era that use 40 teeth. Just darn annoying when aftermarket parts suppliers can't cross...

I might have a spare known good abs pump so get a part number off yours.

Make sure the front rings are 29 tooth as they did a 40 tooth but these are rare. Make sure the front sensors have about 1 to 2mm clearance to the ring. The rear hubs have it all built in. I have had issues with new front sensors so used different brand (can't remember name) been fine since.

I gave the Astra mk3 V6 a breath of fresh air and replaced the pollen filter using the very last of my genuine GM stock. They are an easy fitment as you simply pull out the water guard and pop the two clips, no tools required. Should anyone require the genuine part no.93182435 With the MOT...

I had mooch around VBOA last Sat, some lovely motors on the mk3 stand ;)

Did the paperclip method work for you? As I said I have Opcom and adaptor loom so happy to scoot over if you need it one evening and totally stuck as you're still not far or could meet you in the Ripley McD carpark as it's about halfway. Drop me a PM if interested and we can exchange numbers.

I've booked a club stand for VxDC (Vauxhall Drivers Club) and will be there along with the wife in her mk3 V6 so hopefully see mk3oc there as well :thumb:

Surfup* did you get this figured out & codes read? Have you had an emissions test already, if not might be worth a check at your local garage as it could be fine?

Since building the Astra mk3 V6 I’ve had x2 physical Astra keys but only x1 transponder chip able to start the engine of the donor Vectra ECU & immobiliser so a plan was formulated. After cross referencing my working coded chip being a Philips PCF79735S I bought a virgin new never programmed NXP...
