    So this year’s MOT certificate for my 25k mile 2019 Insignia B (B20DTH) had an advisory for an oil leak. It's recently had an oil change. The front desk said ‘probably main bearing seal’, big job etc. Although I have no idea what I’m looking at (!) I had a quick look underneath and spotted this...

    Sitting in my van defeated for the second time today as the first time I set everything up to realize I needed a special tool plus a size 27mm socket for the filter. Went and got them. Came back.

    Hello all, does anyone know where I can get hold of the o-ring seal that goes on the pump end of the oil pickup pipe please? Is it a dealer-only part? I want to take the pipe off and give it a good clean, as the oil pressure light is just a bit slow to go out on a cold start. TIA :)

    Hello all, this is my first post! I have drained my gearbox today and will leave it overnight to fully drain out. Can any shed any light on whether it is possible to refill the gear box oil through the hole where the reverse light switch fits? I believe it is easier to access.
