part numbers and link if possible
for the rear slider pins on the rear brakes
i am after the ones with the rubber sleeve on the end.

I am loosing coolant about 250ml every 2 months. As the car was in for a recall re the coolant fan overheating problems which they phoned just before Christmas about I asked if it could have anything to do with my problem of the water loss.
I was told that the radiator fan on some 1.4 T Astra’s were overheating and the cure was to remove the battery cover. At that point I burst out laughing. The battery cover is nowhere near the radiator let alone the fan, so how will the removal of the cover help with an overheating problem? I do get a smell in the car like a radiator has boiled over, after about 8 miles and wondered if there was a known fault with an internal leak. After that I was told that the car needed booking in later for investigation and it would need plugging into the workshop computer to see what fault code came up. For that check I would be charged £79 +VAT. When I heard that, my comment was, yes there will be a fault code no doubt, as a warning has come up on the dash display to tell me the coolant level is low. But it will not tell them where the leak is at. Next told they could not examine the car without having it analysed. So you are expected to pay £94.80 inc. VAT to have the computer tell them what I just told them. There has never been any fluid on my driveway, so I expect there must be some sort of a leak within the passenger compartment of the car. A small one at that, as it takes quite some time for 250ml to be lost.
What ever happened to customer service, and mechanics who know what they are looking for and able to use logic?
Not at Bristol Street Motors in Newcastle

Well today I went to the Meguiars seminar.

We were told that if you go to a body shop or a paint a part yourself you should not wax it for 60-90 days, this allows the paint to harden properly. If you do wax before the 60-90 days the paint will be soft.

They said you can polish fresh paint.

I have been offered a set of 19" 3SDM Trendsetter 0.05 alloy wheels in black. Any ideas if they will fit to the J? I have seen them on VW's and Astra H but unsure what they would be like if could fit.

I'm looking at making a kit that's always kept in the boot.....
De icer
Scraper
First aid kit
Blanket
Gloves

Any other suggestions

ok so after getting car back think the calliper wasnt just the issue, been reading abit of on-line stuff and found some information about it the DPF.

Now after so many miles some light should come on the dash to show you the car is going through a regen.
Now I have done over 20,000 miles since having my car and I have never seen this light on.

Should I be asking vauxhall why??

Does this DPF ever need changing?

Since driving the car today I have started to hear a noise from the engine that haven't heard before. When I accelerate in 2nd and 3rd gear it's sounds like a hair dryer. It's not loud but can notice it. Any ideas? Could it be anything to do with turbo?
