    I have a 2008 Astra H with a 1.3CDTI engine and a 6 speed manual. Its gearbox has blown but can apparently be reconditioned for between £1100 and £1500 depending on if it needs a new clutch. Is it worth doing this? Or would it make more sense just to scrap the car? ps. Can anyone tell me what...

    Hello folks, Got a strange issue here and wondering if anyone has experienced the same. Picked up an Astra H 2006 at auction and it had absolutely no brakes at all.

    Looking for someone to replace the CIM unit on my 08 Astra or the next cheapest option to fix the horn to pass the MOT. It's in the Reading area but I can't drive it because the MOT has run out.

I’ve locked the timing and checked and everything is in place but the car is running rough. When I disconnect the MAF sensor the engine runs fine and when I connect...

    I’ve recently acquired an ‘08 Astra, noticed this trim by the shifter is not sitting flush. Was wondering if this would be an easy fix. If it’s too much of a hassle then I won’t bother with it, seems only a cosmetic issue.

    Hi, my Astra H diesel's battery hasn't been charging very well and there's a voltage drop of ~0.5v between its negative and the body, so I took the battery out and made sure the body's strap had a clean connection. When I put it back together and noticed that the negative connection on the...

    Have found this loose cable and keep getting this error code and limp mode, does it have anything to do with each other and where does this cable plug in? P.S. This is the ‘Holden’ variant

    Hi - new on the forum, the speakers on my car are starting to die off as its a almost 15 years old, does anyone have any recommendations for speakers. Its a 5dr so if anyone could suggest a decent sound system for around 250 that doesnt require much modifying the doors to fit. I had seen that...

    Hi, I've got a 1.7 diesel Astra H, it's been reluctant to start for a long time off and on, and now it's completely given up.

    Hi all, I've noticed a horrendous sound coming out my engine. It sounds like a rolling tick, it sometimes disappears and only seems to make the noise when the engine has fully heated up. A mate told me it could be tappets. I thought it was a hole in my exhaust but that's been fully changed and...
