  Vauxhall brake pads
Posted by: Rusty2009 - 1:st-Oct-2014, 19:18:54 - Forum: Servicing - Replies (7)

So just had my second service just under 12300 miles covered mostly motorway & I've had to have new front pads.

WTF, never have brake pads worn so fast and I'm a driver that uses engine braking.

What at are other people's thoughts on the Pads?

I've replaced mine with Delphi ones I know Delphi make them for Vauxhall but I hope they are better.

  Black head lining
Posted by: Rusty2009 - 29:th-Sep-2014, 17:20:29 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (24)

I like the look of the black head head lining and pillar covers but is it only fitted to the 3door or am I right in thinking the biturbo has it?

I've looked on EPC and they list two colours beige and titanium silver (I have the latter so EPC says).

  Underbody shields
Posted by: AAAC - 29:th-Sep-2014, 15:32:40 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (3)

A few months ago I bought a new Opel Astra GTC Sport 1.6T here in Australia after Opel withdrew from the market and Holden took over the warranty and servicing. Prices were dramatically reduced. One of the things that I noticed is that it does not have a shield beneath the engine bay, for aerodynamics, like my other vehicles. Do European cars have this?

  Hello
Posted by: Astonman - 29:th-Sep-2014, 11:45:01 - Forum: Introduction Area - Replies (5)

Hello, Just a short post to intoduce myself. I have just become the proud owner of a 12 plate Astra GTC SRI 1.6T in white. It has Nav600 system fitted, 19" wheels and front/rear parking sensors. It's go to be the best car I have ever owned. The performance is deceptive as it is so quiet and smooth in it's delivery. At first I thought it was no quicker than my old Corsa D 1.7CDTI which had great low down torque but I have got the hang of dropping a gear in the Astra and then it pulls ! I look forward to reading other member's experiences with these cars.

A little VX.O.C odd job meet in Leeds..

It never should have been in Leeds but a change in the last minute sure us all
going to cameron's to get a few odd jobs done.

First up was myself and Dicko getting our roofs nice a clean
and ready to wrap in Gloss Black.

[Image: roofbla013_zpsea767944.jpg]

While that was happening it was time to replace Dickos standard front grill
for the debadged grill, and camaron wrapped it in Gloss Black
while i got the bumper off ready to fit it.

While we had Dickos bonnet up camaron wrapped his engine cover in Carbon
and Dicko had some white Vauxhall stickers ready to fit over the Carbon wrap.

Then on to Cameron's car
I got his side skirts put on at long last for him while he was busy wraping.

Before.

And after.

I also put a new center speaker in to Cameron's car
and also i fixed his tail light issue as this was my fault anyway
as i wired a wrong wire to his left LED DRL at trax
i payed the price for this mistake as i dropped the DRL bulb into the headlight
when i was putting this mistake right
i had to take his bumper off also to get the bulb out of the headlight
but all was well in the end and everything now works ok. Blush

After all that was done the roofs were at last wrapped in Gloss Black
along with Dicko,s mirror covers that were also wrapped in Gloss Black.
