  Brake noise
Posted by: Rusty2009 - 30:th-Apr-2014, 10:59:21 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (11)

Having a tidy of the garage as it needs it as I need the work bench again now it's getting summer time.

But pushed the car back so the wife could tidy her garden cupboard, and it sounds like the brakes are still on on the rear, I double checked and the hand brake is fully off, also I notice I can see where the brake has been on as it there is a clear mark left on the brake disc.

Rusty is there any chance you could have a look on your MDI program to see if theres anything for recalibration of the AFL leveling sensors

  Courier Service
Posted by: JohnL - 29:th-Apr-2014, 12:43:32 - Forum: General Chat - Replies (6)

Hi Folks,

Can anyone recommend a decent courier service? As I'm sure Kevin will agree Parcel2go have given a really poor service and are yet to deliver the parcel. I've asked for them to return the parcel to myself so that I can then arrange for another courier to deliver the parcel. So basically looking for recommend couriers that would be able to deliver a parcel next day.

Thanks

John

  Odd job weekend meet
Posted by: cornishtaz - 27:th-Apr-2014, 15:01:33 - Forum: Club meets all Regions - Replies (28)

I've been thinking seeing as we've got a few members who happen to be technically minded and have various skills of the ins and outs of the J how does a odd job meet sound.

We could arrange it possibly over a weekend meeting up somewhere convenient for all interested members.

This would be a good opportunity for people to get those little jobs done that there not sure of and we can spread our knowledge and skills though out the forum.

Please add your thoughts below and if we can get this going ahead we can get a list of jobs that people want doing so that the right members with the correct skills are available

  How-to led reverse light
Posted by: tucpal - 25:th-Apr-2014, 23:42:28 - Forum: Lighting How-to's - Replies (23)



THIS IS A HOW TO AND REVIEW OF THE SMD LED REVERSE LIGHT BULB
FOR THE ASTRA J 5 DOOR.


So here are the SMD LED Bulb
that is a Direct Replacement for the Standard Bulb
it looks very well made and it is also Really Bright
and also Error Free.







STEP ONE.

Remove the Plastic Cover from the Tailgate
to gain Access to one Screw and Remove it
then Remove the Two Plastic Caps
and Remove Two more screws
be Careful not to Brake the Rubber Grommets on the Screws.  









STEP TWO.

Remove the Light Unit from the car
and undo the Connector from the unit.



Now that you have the Unit out
turn the Unit over and Push the White Tab
and lift the White Holder out
Remove the Old Bulb
and Fit the New SMD LED into Position
then Refit the Unit and the Job is Done.  







Here are the Results Day and Night.











This is a Super Bright SMD LED bulb
and the Standard Bulb looks real naff in Comparison with this
the Bulb is also Error Free
so no Problems at all with the Canbus
i can Highly Recommend this LED it looks fantastic

They can be Picked up on ebay, H21W, LED.
here is an Example Link but shop about

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141191988703?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

AS WITH ALL ELECTRICAL HOW TOO,S.
you do this at your own risk if you follow the how to correctly
there should be no problems thank you.
