Here's one to get everyone thinking...

What is the one thing, from a technical position, you have learnt from Opelaus and its members? ;)

For me, and laugh if you want to, it is now the ability to change a Veccy C's front foglight bulb..... :eek: :) They have always been thought of as too difficult, but hey, I am not a technical hands on type of guy :o

So, come on, fess up...... :D

Removing the centre dash console in the Astra and the Vectra. Removing the dash in the Vectra - all a long time ago so dunno who helped - I dare say Adrian (InsaneAsylum) with the Veccy stuff.

From Chris R - Pioneer headunit install in Corsa C

Specifically;
How to remove the steering column shroud

and that buying the dedicated plug and play OEM-to-Headunit install kits is SO much worth the $$


From Clint - Total Closure units
Corsa C wiring is coloured different to Astra G
Also such a little mod is SO cool and ALL cars should come with it.

I am still getting frustrated trying to remove the badge from the Vectra Wheel. I have seen some good right ups but they weren't necessarily for the Vectra? Is it truly the same.

I have had help with my lights, and Tfer, sorry, but it was easier for the Holden boys to replace them when they had to take the front bar off to replace the power steering pump...;)

Generally mine has just been purely reading others comments and suggestions on things.
