Here I have for sale the heater controls which I removed from my car last weekend, they're in mint condition and work fine

Make an offer if you'd like them

Here I have for sale a coolant tank from my Astra J which had done around 23k miles before it was removed.

Make an offer for the part

Hi Again! 

Sorry for posting a few threads in a row, basically trying to carry out some of the work on my car which has been bugging me since day 1 but on the cheap rather than shelling out loads of money which I don't have!

Right, so I've always wanted the chrome trim around the doors...it's going to cost £80 for the stick on trim which is out of my budget at present. Is there any way to paint this trim a different colour (maybe even glossy black)? Assuming this is possible but wondering if I have to remove it from the car first or if it would be possible to do it while it's on the car...if so, what would I need? 

Can carry out a quick Google to find out generic info on how to paint this trim but want to know from you guys who know Astra's well and have done similar work before! 

Thanks

Evening All!

Okay so not something I'll be able to undertake any time soon as i have a list of work I want to do which is growing by the day with less and less money to fund it! Ha. But I wanted to see if anyone knows if it is possible to install the chrome trim which sits inside the headlights? As with most of the other chrome trim, my car seems to not have this and I do wish I had it.

Probably going to be a full headlight swap I imagine but as I have no reason to do this other than the chrome I want, I thought I'd see if it's something that can just be added on cheaply

Thanks

Hi guys,

Right, I'm sure I remember being able to go into some hidden options in the trip computer when I first got the car which allowed to to turn things on like "auto reverse wipers" etc. Not sure how I got to these options though...Thought it was something like pulling both stalks towards me or something like that but nothing seems to work.

Anyone know how to get to these Options or was it just dreaming?

Thanks

Hi guys,

New to the forum, been looking for a dedicated J forum & finally found one!

I sold my Vectra, had an Astra J for a short time and then got a BMW which I had for almost a year.. Kinda missed the Astra from day one but stuck with it.

With service and MOT time looming I decided it was time for a change.


I managed to find a garage with the right spec car and managed to get a straight swap for my 2009 BMW 320D for this 2010 Astra SRI CDTI. My BMW was worth a fraction more but I'm more than happy as I really wanted to be back in a Vauxhall.


It's a 60 plate Astra 1.7 SRI CDTI, 1 owner, full history, full MOT, 12 months warranty.


Couple of optional extras which were a bonus:
Sat Nav
Bluetooth
Voice recognition
Spare wheel kit rather than Goo/Pump.


Plans:

PIAA White DRL bulbs already done
Gloss black front grill, may even plastidip it.
19" Vauxhall wheels found on some high spec J's (Poss)
If not, a wheel refurb as these are kerbed
Tinted rear windows
Fit private reg & get some new pressed plates as mine are Chipped.

Any recommended mods for these? Cheaper the better!

Hope you like!














Cheers

I have 8years NCB on one policy & 2years NCB on my 2nd policy, if both these policy's end when I take out a new policy can I add the 2years onto the 8years so it gives me 10?
