Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
just had a service update for the EPB hill start assist done today
they said it has just come out this week
this is to make the hill start assist less likely to kick in on smaller slopes when really it is not needed
apparently after lots of complaints about it coming on when stopping on uneven ground
so keep an eye out for that one
I fitted a set of 6000k HIDS today and they work fine with the engine off, but if I start the car they will switch on then after a few seconds they flicker and go off, then won't come back on until I turn the engine off then switch them off then back on again.
Help?
PS please no slating that I don't have projectors! :)

"Just got ours [GAP] through CK for £112 (for a Ford Kuga). Not bad for 3 years."AlfaJack, Alfa Romeo Owners Club
"I bought GAP insurance at my local ford dealer when I purchased my ST. The price of it was £350 and thanks to signing onto this forum and Chris Knott Insurance I was able to cancel my current gap insurance as it was still in the 30 day period for a full refund and I've taken it out with Chris Knott for the price of £112.68. £237.32 back in my pocket! Thanks!"Ldube1992, FiestaSTOC
"Have to agree with this, CKI quoted much less than the dealer for the GAP insurance on my Skoda."velocemitch, Alfa Romeo Owners Club

"Just did the same for mine... great Service at a fantastic price!"Anthony Trueman, FiestaSTOC
hi all
i bought a vauxhall Astra 2013 its cat D recorded (just one door was damaged and has been replaced ) but now i have problem with the fuel warning it comes up and when i go the the patrol station to fill it up i find the tank still halfway full
does anyone have this problem before or any idea how to sort it out?
also i would like to know if the car still under warranty or the damage has a voided it? because im thinking to take it back to vauxhall ( i have proof of the previous door damaged and its only the door so nothing to do with the rest of the car)
please advise
thank you
You will need some PLCC-2 the amount needed varies depending on the switch I recommend the ones from this seller on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121277975850?_...EBIDX%3AIT I have had 100's of LED'S from this guy.
So you have the switch
First thing we need to do is open it up, there are 4 clips 2 each side un-clip them with a small screwdriver.
Once you've un-clipped one side you should be able to lift the backing off.
Now carefully you need to remove the PCB board and rubber cover (Not under this are little white plastic lugs which can fall out).
Next step remove the rubber and start your LED conversion. I've marked with a red line which is negative for you.
To get the correct polarity of the new LED you will see the corner is cut this is the negative end, see image below.
As with all electrical how-to's we except no responsibility for any issues that could arise all are carried out at your own risk. If the how-to is followed correctly you should have no issues.
Wondering how the auto dimming mirror is installed? Would it just replace my current bottom end mirror or would I need some additional parts like a cover or something?
