I'm a noob to the forum, so please bear with me.

I've had a quick browse of the forum for some answers to my problems. However, as I'm completely new to Astras (and don't even know whether mine is a G/H/Whatever - it's a 2006 '55' Astra 1.6SXi) I thought I would post the exact problems I'm experiencing in the hope that someone with much more knowledge could point me in the right direction using a bit of plain, simple English!

1. The clutch judders in 1st and 2nd gear. I know that this is a common issue. Is this something I need to get repaired, or is it something I can live with until the next service is due and have it done then?

2. The drivers side wingmirror has had replacement glass at some point, but the wrong glass has been fitted and it wobbles. Where can I get the proper glass, how much will it set me back and how easy is it to fit myself (I'm new to cars but have been building and maintaining my own mountain bikes for the past 10-15 years so I know my way around a set of tools).

3. The dial on the left hand side of the steering wheel doesn't work. I believe that this is the dial which operates the trip computer/mpg info/fuel remaining info. The only information I can get on the display is the total mileage and trip mileage - nothing else. Again, I believe that this was a known issue, and I believe that Vauxhall issued a recall so that it could be fixed. However, my car doesn't seem to have had the fix done (I can't find a record of it anywhere in the service books or receipts which are otherwise very comprehensive).


Like I said, I know b**ger all about Astras so please forgive me if I've asked something which has been covered a million times before. I just wanted to ask the questions so that I could get the exact information I need.

Thanks for your help :)

Here's the car, just to clarify:

I just thought I'd introduce myself :)

I've recently (as in yesterday) picked up the keys to my new car - A 2006 Astra 1.6 SXi Twinport.

I'm having a couple of issues with it, which I believe are common issues with the model. I'll be posting them up in the relevant part of the forums to try to get a bit of help!

I didn't really want to part with my old car (2005 Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec) as it was by far and away the most reliable car I've owned. However a doddery old lady pulling out infront of us at a junction put an end to that, and it's now in the scrapyard without a front end :(

Our insurance payout wouldn't buy us another Focus of the same age/spec so I bought the Astra on a recommendation from a friend. Time will tell whether this was the correct decision or not. One thing I will say for it, for the same size engine as the Focus it's certainly got more grunt! It sounds lovely and throaty too :) ]]> Introduction Area Tulstar http://www.astraownersnetwork.co.uk/showthread.php?154895-Hello-from-South-Wales http://www.astraownersnetwork.co.uk/showthread.php?154894-**help-please**-inner-rear-tyre-wear-advisory-on-mot&goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 09:32:04 GMT looking at buying a 2004 zafira sri. its got 63k miles on it, only problem is the mot is up next month. been speaking to the seller and the advisory on the last mot was. inner rear tyres worn badly. what could be causing this and is it going to be worth me buying the car? she wanted 2200.00 for it... looking at buying a 2004 zafira sri. its got 63k miles on it, only problem is the mot is up next month. been speaking to the seller and the advisory on the last mot was. inner rear tyres worn badly. what could be causing this and is it going to be worth me buying the car? she wanted 2200.00 for it but ive got her down to 1600.00. the car is 2 and a half hours away from me. so i really dont want to be travelling that far and coming home without it!!! :confused: ]]> Other Vauxhalls Sarah Gerrard http://www.astraownersnetwork.co.uk/showthread.php?154894-**help-please**-inner-rear-tyre-wear-advisory-on-mot http://www.astraownersnetwork.co.uk/showthread.php?154892-lights-on-dash-after-maf-wire-extension&goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 09:09:06 GMT hey all, as in title i installed a dbilas induction kit but needed to extend the maf wire, i got all the correct wire, soldered each wire at a time, electric taped and then shrink wrapped, but now i have the eml light on dash and esp light on?? ive plugged the opcom in it says there is a prob with... hey all, as in title i installed a dbilas induction kit but needed to extend the maf wire, i got all the correct wire, soldered each wire at a time, electric taped and then shrink wrapped, but now i have the eml light on dash and esp light on??

I'm changing the thermostat on my 1.8 Astra Coupe tonight, I was just checking I should replace the red with red and what is the ratio required?

Also am I correct in thinking it is 6.8 litres coolant capacity?

Thanks in advance.
