I suppose i'll make a quick thread about this one! Astra J (mk6) estate, 2013 cosmo edition. Lovely little car, the final model you can still get the ISUZU 1.7 block. And holy hell is it buttersmooth with that m32 gearbox! Things i absolutely love about this car: -buttersmooth diesel engine...

Here again with another newer Astra! The mk4 was becomming too much of a problem car (which i was highly warned of pre purchase!) Thus i bought a blue mk5 estate! Cause both my posh saloon and poshier posh estate had a ISUZU diesel in it, i once again picked a ISUZU 1.7CDTi (101hp 74kw)...

Gotta buy some new tires, and this tiresize is bloody expensive! Which one would you folks go for?

Howdy folks, one of my handicapped friends has this giant omega B, with the X20XEV in it. Sadly it cut out due to a failed camshaft sensor. Also it's pissing oil all over the sparkplugs, i suspect a leaking valve cover. Does anyone know if it's an easy job to do the camshaft sensor? And would...

So i'm curious, how do UK plates work? I notice allot of you say J reg or X reg? What does this mean? And are the plate number you get on your vehicle permanent? Even if you sell the car to someone else? Here in Belgium you get a new plate number everytime you buy new or used.

Heya folks, I've been here for a short time and during the time i owned my mk3, i must say it's one of the better forums to offer advice and help on repairing and keeping these old cars alive. I quite enjoyed starting topics and chitchatting with the common folk' here. Always a good chuckle to...

Howdy folks, a week ago i ordered a set of depo headlights, with the projector lens. Height adjusts work completely fine, but for some reason the horizontal field adjusters don't work... So i went back and had it replaced under warranty, and received my new set today. Brand new in the box, i...

Heya folks, i was wondering if CB radio's were still common in the UK? Most of the channels here in Belgium are dead. However in eastern countries it's apparently still very very common.

Heya folks, So the previous owner of this car apparently didn't care much for bird poo on the paint. Sadly due to that negligence the bird poo has eaten it's way deep into the clearcoat. Was wondering if there's any alternative to repainting? Would a good buff get this out?

Howdy folks, I was wondering if these alloys were common in the UK: If so, what would they be worth now?

Howdy folks, I want to be able to use the constant supply for my 13 pin towbar plug, my astra mk4 is fitted with a fuseholder in nr33, so i know the wire is there. Which color cable is towbar supply? or which pin on the big green plug?

Howdy folks So last night the loom for my trailer has snapped after a clip got loose. I want to fix it, but i was wondering if it would be a better idea to turn it into a 13 pin Jeager plug. The idea of having reverse lights, switchable and constant 12v is nice! Curious if i could use that...

Howdy folks, Got most of my interior gutted to have my rooflining repaired tomorrow! However i can't seem to figure out how the sun visor clip comes out, it's held in with a single screw... yet it won't budge even with the screw removed! anyone with an mk4 have an idea? Any work i can do...

Howdy folks, What engine would you recommend for an mk3 or mk4 to tow atleast 1 ton comfortably with? Asking because the Belgian government is adding even more tax to older diesels, and it's really making this quite an expensive car to tax.

Howdy folks, the air re-circulation flap on my 2001 Astra mk4 has failed, the motor does nothing when push the button. Is there some way to repair these or are there replacement parts available? Thank you kindly

Howdy folks, So for my current Opel diagnostics i have OP-COM 1.59 08-2010. Which lets me fully diagnose opel and saab cars from 1995 to 2010. But i heard you could upgrade these to Vaux-com's 1.60 and diagnose them upto 2014.. Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to do this?

It was a quiet day, i was cruising along the highway in my superior Mk4 Estate. With it's aerodynamic shape it slices trough the wind as if it's nothing. Listening to some classic tunes with it's 8 build in speakers. but when i looked trough my German engineered windows i spotted an Astra Mk3...

My mk3 has been sitting for about 2 ish months now, slowly rusting away! But the battery in it is still pretty good, almost 4 years old and turns over the big block like it was nothing. I know the battery will go bad if it doesn't get used, but i'm not so familiar with them. If i'm not...

Howdy folks, i stumbled upon this: Meta SR2 Parkeersensoren nummerplaat - Beschrijving Does anyone have experience with these? I'd prefer it over drilling holes into my bumper as mk4 bumpers are color coded. can't seem to find any reviews

Howdy folks, sometimes the car tends to accelerate on it's own, little bursts of revving even tho i'm not touching the pedal. sometimes when i disengage the clutch, it keeps revving at 1200 rpm and after a few seconds it drops to the normal 800 rpm. Could this be a faulty acceleration pedal...
