    So since I bought a newer Insignia I'm in constant problems (and I bought it 2 weeks ago). Firstly, the chain sound on the cold start (even if it's 2020 year but pre facelift and my meccanic assured me before buying it that 2020 year has the problems with the chain solved by the factory but how...

    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 my 2012 Meriva automatic has developed an odd intermittent noise. Sort of a whistle best I can describe. And seems to be when I am accelerating but at lower speed It’s only done 50,000 miles. My partner reported hearing the noise a couple of months ago but I have only heard it over the last...

    Hello all, I'm driving my sons Corsa C Design for the next year and I've noticed a couple of things. Firstly, when the dipped beam is on, I notice the car makes buzzing/droning sound from the front which is not present if the side lights are on, or the lights are off. Was thinking this might...

    Hello everyone! I purchased my Meriva today! I really love it. It Is 2012 1.4 turbo. However there is one small issue which I guess I need help. After 50 mph, a strange noise starts to come. I took it to neutral to idle the engine at 50 mph and the noise did not change. Hence I believe it is not...

    Hi all. Have a strange issue. Yesterday, setting off in 1st gear I heard a metallic clunk and the car stopped for a split second before moving again. Ever since, there is a very fast, constant metallic rotating sound whenever I am coasting in gear or coasting in neutral, although it is louder...

    Hi Techies... We had Front Road Springs replaced on our Meriva, as the N/S Spring was broken on MOT inspection. Since the car's return we have had a 'Rattle/clunking' sound occasionally from the N/S when on uneven surfaces.. I have gone all over the N/S testing the torque on every bolt and...

    My 1.4 Petrol Astra J 2011 has begun making a sort of squeaking noise when it sits at idle revs. It isn't completely consistent and sounds bit like a belt squeak, however I went and got the alternator belt and tensioner done as soon as it started but it is still there (and getting worse). I've...

    Evening guys. Wonder if anyone could help. My gearbox is rather clunky between gears especially between 2nd and 3rd. Already had the gearbox rebuilt for the chocolate bearing but can't work out the noise. It even makes noise changing gear with the engine off. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Guys I bought this 2009 Astra 1.6l (64k miles) last summer from a local dealer. Test drove it, felt good (also with the power) but there was this "clicking" noise from the engine. It was there when idling, went away some times, came back, pretty random. See video here: I pointed it out and...
