    Hi. First time driver. Got my self an old combo 1.7DTI 2004. Most of it works fine on it. But one thing sort of bugs me. There is this noise in dash somewhere. And I can't figure out if it's supposed to make that noise all the time or not. It comes on once you first turn the key before it...

    Hi all. My 2013 Astra has developed what I would call a high pitched tapping noise (rather than a knock) from the engine in the last couple of days. Little bit of history, in November just gone I had the oil pickup seal replaced following the oil pressure warning light in low temps. The warning...

    Hello everyone, I am getting a fault code reading of P122D (Intake Air Flow Valve Position Sensor Exceeded Learning Limit). I'm trying to get to the bottom of what is causing this fault code to keep appearing. Would appreciate if anyone has any pointers for what is causing this issue Thanks!

    Hello, I was driving 70 miles and suddenly error popped on the screen with 'Service ESP' The car stopped taking acceleration and came to a full stop gradually. Is this due to Cam belt snapping? or something else? Is it a non-interference engine? Is it worth investigating? As the local garage is...

    I had an intermittent starting problem with my 2005 1.9 Di Vivaro van. It has now been resolved. This was not associated with starting from cold and there were no battery or starter motor issues. The engine turned over fine but would not fire even though it might have been running only minutes...

    The car in question is a 2011 Zafira B, 1.7 Diesel. 130k miles, owned for two and a half years. Last maintenance was in the spring, with replacement of timing and accessory belt, as well as annual renewal of oil, filter, air filter, fuel filter. This is the first diesel I've owned, so I'm still...
  9. Vivaro / Movano Camper Van / Day Van Conversions
    Hi, Just wanted to get some thoughts on a possible purchase. I'm considering buying a 2013 diesel Vivaro Sportive campervan (already converted). With the recent low emission charge zones being introduced and phasing out of new diesel vehicles I'm concerned that the demand for older diesel...

    I have a 1.6l 2014 diesel Vauxhall Meriva and back in February I had the "Real Emissions Software Update" put onto my car. Days later, my engine light came on and and was diagnosed as an EGR flow issue. To me, this seemed like it was highly likely that the software update had caused this issue...

    Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone has had the same problem as me at all. Driving back from a holiday (200mile journey) and when I got off the motorway I went to apply my brakes only to find they were rock solid and had to use my entire bodyweight to stop the car. We took the car to a local...

    Hi all. I drive a 65 plate 1.6 Insignia. Has anyone ever had the “Oil pressure low turn vehicle off” warning on the B16DTH 1.6 CDTi engine? If so how did you solve it? I am aware that the oil pickup seal is the common reason amongst the 2l engines. I have tried the dealers anyway to check if the...

    Looking at buying an astra, the current favourite is a 62 plate diesel at 66k miles and is a red Sri. I'm just wondering is there anything specific to watch out for for this make model, in terms of things that break or need replacing etc?
  16. Vauxhall / Opel Vivaro, Movano Sales Area
    Hello, so here’s the issue. Van runs and drives fine at all speeds below 60mph. Acceleration is good and drives as it should. This can be driven like this indefinitely. Once I try to approach 60mph + or try going on the motorway it will attain speed for a few seconds, then I feel a slight...

    Hi Everyone, So this morning I got the dreaded oil pressure warning on my 2l insignia diesel. 230k km on the clock, 180k on the new engine in it. I haven't used the car for a day or so, started it this morning, had a bit of a hard time to start up, like 4-5 cranks before starting up and then...

    Hi all, I have a Vauxhall Insignia 2011 2.0 diesel. Recently had an issue with coolant levels dropping noticeably after long drives. I’ve read through the forums here that it may be a variety of issues, but hoping a picture of the location may help? It’s the right hand side of the engine...

    Dear All, First time poster, so excuse me for mistakes, please. Have been wondering if anyone have fitted HHO kits to the above mentioned car? Is it worth it and do you need to remap to get the fuel economy? Thank you in advance for any info on this. Have a great day
