Hello All. I hope somebody can help me. I have a 2015 Astra J 2.0 cdti  Elight with a Navi 650. I have fitted a Xbox unit & reversing camera that is working great. Now I am fitting a four antenna DVB-T2 unit but I have lost the fitting instructions. I can remember most of the connections but am stuck on three wires. Purple TX. Green RX. and White IR. I seem to remember one or two wires connected to the handbrake circuit but not sure which ones. Thanks. best regards.  kipper

So I've had my astra sports toured a week and I'm pretty pleased with everything except the fuel economy im averaging about 42-44 mpg and thats in eco mode driving sensibly. My old car I traded in was a 09 vectra 1.9diesel and it averaged 49ish.
I thought with this being a newer car ( 2015 with 22k on.) I'd at least get something similar to the vectra.

So for those who've a standard 2.0 what you getting mpg wise.

Only got the car just over a week ago but got chance to spend some time cleaning it on Saturday. 64 plate 2.0 SRI. Was very swirly when I got it so gave it a bit of TLC. I'm no detailer and don't have a DA or anything but used what I had in and looks a lot better now. Washed with Autoglym shampoo.. applied some Farecla G3 to try and sort some of the swirls out followed by Poorboys Black hole and topped with Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax. I was happy with the results.

Client Feedback from recent months

"Today I have reinsured my GT86 and have chosen to use Chris Knott as advertised in the forum. Knowing that it was due in March, I waited for my renewal notice to arrive, then called both CKI and ****. CKI were very fast with their quote and it instantly beat my renewal." Blackie_X, GT86/BRZ Owners Club

"I use Chris Knott for my supercharged V8 400bhp Jag and pay less than your S*** quote and I live in Birmingham." payno, BimmerForums

"A happy customer. I recently contacted Chris Knott for the first time. The premium quoted was £200 less than what my existing insurer wanted. I had both cars insured with the existing company on separate policies, so there was no reward for loyalty. I went ahead and insured the Z4 through Chris Knott. The process was handled by a lady called Kim who was pleasant and relaxed throughout and did not use hard sell tactics. Everything was processed promptly before my existing policy expired. I am a satisfied customer." oldgit, Z4 Forum

"I'm into my 2nd year with them and have no complaints." Mr Tidy, Z4 Forum

Hi Everyone

As ive only got the GTC on a sport, its a bit basic on some of the toys.

What I was wondering if the wiring is hidden up in the headlining for me to upgrade the very standard mirror to one of the dipping models / auto wipers?

And if anyone is selling one with the housing, then please let me know before I go to ebay. If wiring is not present, what do I need to get it sorted, I will also need to get it switched on for the wiper function no doubt, can that be done with out having the car pass as not got round to getting that sorted.

Cheers

Hi guys new to the forum having an issue with my astra I purchased today.

When changing gears when I go from 2nd to 3rd the stick doesn't go back to center it stays over to the left and also 6th to 4th I have to manually pull it over.

Has anyone else had this issue? When in gear the car is perfect.

While in neutral if I move stick left between 1str and 2nd the stick just stays there.

Hi all can anyone recommend a set of new tweeters as my drivers Side is very crackly want new as going to upgrade the rest of the speakers in the car at the same time

Hi,

Just bought a 2015 Astra GTC with the CD600 head unit, the previous owner has filled all 5 device spaces. The unit will not let me delete any, after pressing delete and yes.. the unit just hangs and nothing happens. The unit is 100% fine in all other areas and runs very smooth.  Any idea how to delete these devices so I can pair my phone??

Haloo friends

So I've noticed since I picked my Astra Tourer up at the weekend that I can hear a very occasional noise which sounds like water sloshing about if I pull away a bit quicker than usual. I've had a good google search and think it's probably inside the doors, now I've seen that to rectify this you can remove the rubber grommets at the bottom of the doors and give them a good clean. My question is, would it cause any problems if I left the grommets out altogether, or are they there for a reason? If it's not the doors I also saw that sills could be an issue but is that only on certain cars as I have no idea how water could get in to the sills?

Thanks,

Marc
