  Car pulling to the left
Posted by: richje100 - 4:th-Jun-2015, 22:36:32 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (6)

Anyone got any ideas? Tracking has been done and a second time to make sure the settings were correct which they were.
Brakes are not binding on the passenger side so I know it's not this.

  How-to remove roof aerial
Posted by: Rusty2009 - 4:th-Jun-2015, 07:29:35 - Forum: Exterior How-to's - Replies (17)




How-to remove roof aerial

So start by opening the boot and removing the parcel shelf (this is so you don't lean on it and brake it.)



Next start to pull the roof liner down from the rubber.



Then you need to unplug the fraka connector (it will be attached roughly where you see it in this pic)



To unplug them you will need to feel for the push tab.



Then push the back end down and with the other hand pull apart.



Next job is unbolt the aerial.



It's a 10mm bolt on the factory masts.



Now you need to push the push tabs in each side and push upwards, (having an extra person here can help).

  Noise/ feeling in steering wheel
Posted by: Tonto - 2:nd-Jun-2015, 17:11:13 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (12)

Just been driving and when turning at about 5mph going to pro I heard a weird noise and felt it through steering wheel. Can't really describe it but worried me.

Anyone have any idea what this could be, maybe fluid needs topped up or tyre pressure checked?


Also I thought I may have damaged a spring (drivers side) the other day when I hit a pothole but car has been fine. Hope nothing is damages as can't really afford this atm with baby only 2weeks old haha!


  Automatic windows

Ok so it says in manual that you can use the fob to open/close the electric windows by holding the open/lock button. I've tried this and it doesn't work! Does anyone know why or if there is something I need to do to make it work? I used to be able to do this with my Corsa D and never had to do anything.

  Dash cam power supply
Posted by: Nickmagicfingers1981 - 30:th-May-2015, 19:46:08 - Forum: Request for information - Replies (1)

Ok so after some twerp decided to cover my windscreen and bonnet with tomato sauce while I was at work. I am now looking at dash cams,

I have found this one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251749193955?_...EBIDX%3AIT.

With it having the function to constantly record and has a battery drain prevention device I just wondered if I would be able to wire it into the lights in the roof instead of running down the a pillar/door.
