Hello guys, 

I am planning to buy Opel Astra J GTC 2.0 CDTi 165 hp. I have one nice offer on car from year 2012 with just 52 000 km on dash. I really like the car but I am little bit worried about suspension system FlexRide. (previously I had Subaru with electrically adaptive shock absorbers and after 100 000 km I had to change them - it was unreliable expensive change). My question is how qualitatively good are these shock absorbers in Astra GTC (how much mileage they are able to make) and also if it´s possible to switch them for non FlexRide shock absorbers (of course all of them in one time)? 
Do you know about any other glitch which this car has and I should be careful about? 

Sorry for my english I am actually from Czech Republic, but this car is not such popular in here. 

Thank you for any feedback 

Sincerely 

Tomas

Hi All

Any body have issues with their daytime running lights working one minute and not the next? When I unlock the car, you can see both working fine. Yet when I drive, the driver side doesn't work. Any ideas?

Hi

Year of the car is 2013, bought it with 62 000km in year 2015. Now we are around 125000 km.

Is it possible to just remove the speaker cover from the door card? Does it come off?

I'm looking to get the older style speaker covers with the chrome trim for my 15 plate, but want to see if they actually can be removed first or if a whole door card is needed?

Hi guys, removed this pipe to get access to the fuel injectors but cant seem to get it back on? Makes a hissing noise when engine is running.

Engine is 1.4 Turbo (A14NET)
The pipe in question is the one in blue

Hello guys. Since I've hit a serious pothole, my dash when I turn on the car and the needles sweep they do weird noises. I will post a video today.

Can I change the dash from any other 1.7cdti with the same CB?
Or do I need a dash from a 1.7 cdti 130bhp 2012 like mine? The year matters and the motor? Or should be exactly like mine?
Thank you
