I've created another post , as this is a general query (although relevant to my first post. re. car failure to re-start, in traffic queue. ) 1. How does the Clutch Position Sensor work ? I'm assuming it's not a 'simple' ON/OFF single switch (as why would it need calibrating ?) 2. How would I...

I had the timing chain replaced and it was full kit. Garage done the work. I noticed it sound a bit like it’s pulling back but thought it just needs to be bedded I and would be fine after a few days 100 miles. Now it’s been 375 miles still the same so checked on opcom to see any codes and comes...

Hi all, hopefully a quick one i've got a 2012 Meriva B, with an A17DTI engine, and i'm looking to track down a new o ring for the oil level sensor that sits in the upper oil sump. The old one has perished quite badly so even just eyeing it up against other o rings isn't proving easy. I'm after...

Hi all, I own a 2013 Astra GTC 2.0 Automatic and unfortunately while I was driving today I got a warning message saying that the engine has overheated and to stop immediately (the temp gauge was all the up at 130°C+). After waiting several hours for the engine to cool down I turned on the...

Hi, I was recently taking a look under my Insignia and I noticed some damage to the underside fairing. When I looked closer I noticed this senior hanging off from a broken bracket. Does anyone know what it is? The part number seems to have rubbed off.
