It beggars belief.
Yay!

Yes - Me.
This'll be the 3rd one I've had. Every time I replace an old one some oppswit runs into the back of me. Once in a Maccie-D's car park and the next time a Dominos pizza delivery moped. Wonder how long this one will last.
May only have been £40, but the paint usually comes in at more like £200.

Took SWMBO for her appointment this morning. Very impressive, multi-story car park just next door, 4quid for a couple of hours if you have an appointment letter. Talked to the nurse who was taking wifeys details and she said the place is great for patients but staff facilities and parking etc. are ill thought out. Small staff rooms, nowhere to take breaks and losing staff at quite a rate. Even wifes consultant wasn,t very impressed when i asked him. Shame.

« on: 03 July 2019, 18:56:03 »That's down to integrating the hand brake with the rear calipers... Discs heat up in use and expand. You then park up and apply the handbrake which clamps the pads to the expanded disc. As the disc cools, the handbrake pressure reduces (the disc effectively becomes thinner) and eventually cannot hold the car. Early facelifts were prone to calipers seizing as well, which cooks the wheel bearings. Which is niceI stick mine in gear, just in case.

« on: 01 July 2019, 19:48:05 »My thanks to all for advice. My Owner's manual arrived today, it does mention and depict a 3.5mm AUX input socket, sadly my car is not fitted with it. I wonder if I could retrofit one? The head unit is simply labelled CD30.I have a CD30 MP3 head unit spare from my donor Astra.Seems a bodge to me that GM fitted the jack socket in that aperture under the unit Terry. Also retro fitting one seems to be quite a faff, so i,m led to believe.

« on: 30 June 2019, 22:24:44 »Don,t think so. My 08 SRI doesn,t anyway. Is it the CD30 unit Terry?do the Vec c radio units have a 3.5mm jack socketI meant the owners manual£5 on ebay
That would make each of Terry's radios worth £0.50.
Optimistic, I think.
Vectra C, certainly the later ones, have all the trip and vehicle settings managed via the head unit. Sure, you can throw in any old head unit with an adapter, but don't be surprised if things stop working as expectediPhone 10, MP3 playerwalkman cassette
