I have had this problem for a while now and need to fix it. The drivers rear door won't open. I have had the inner door lining off, which is quite tricky with the door closed. Anyway with it off you can hear the central locking working in the mechanism, which is the central locking/door latch. ...

So heres my problem, not sure if this is normal with Astras, but it certainly doesnt do it in my driving instructors Corolla. When I'm in first, and I my foot off the accelerator and just coast along (I have to do this because I deliver the local newspaper with my mum), the car jerks/kangaroos...
Hi, this is my first post. I did a 75000 km oil change on my 05 CDXI and thought I would check the manual gearbox oil level - where do you check this? I had a pretty good look around the gearbox but can't find a level. I don't have any problems, but thought it would be good to make sure the level...

Hi All, After advice from Greg at GSL and the quote "Castor is king". I decided to order a Whiteline castor kit for the astra. It was fitted by the guys at Hornibrook Motorsport today. (They also narrowed down a squeak I was hearing at the front end to the sway bar links which needed lube). ...

hey guys So i've had squeeky brakes for a while now. The squeal is very high pitched and only happens at certain braking pressures. Today I had 3 instances where I heard and felt metal vs something-badass going down a road. All 3 instances though were on that same stretch of road and there...
Guys, I'm eyeing out some new Audi-styled headlights on eBay at the moment that are only available in LHD. Aside from being illegal (!), exactly what happens when you fit LHD headlights to a RHD vehicle? Does it cast a different light pattern?

Hi guys I recently filled the tank with Vortex 95 fuel. After two weeks driving, it gave me the consumption about 10L per 100k in urban driving (no free way, but some odious up-slopes), which is a little bit higher be compared with previous ones (used to be 8.6 or something). To be honest, I...
