Behind the clocks and up the A post...  ;)

Can't see how to get the wire into to fuse box though :-\

If you can find a convenient connection in the boot, can you get an extension/hard wire kit for your dash cam so that you can go above the headlining. When I wired up my rear dash cam I was surprised at how easy I could get a thin three metre piece of trim from the back to the front. I just pulled the headlining down a bit from the tailgate rubber, slid the trim over the headlining and pushed and wiggled it until it came out the front. I taped the cable to it and pulled it through. I then moved it across so that it came out right by the rear view mirror.  :y  Just thought that might be another option if you can hide the wire under the D Post trim.

I had thought of that, but the ODBII socket seems the eaiest solution, I would use a switched one that went off with the ignition.

The reason I ask is the Astra K fuse box is under the info display, and I can't see a way to hide the wiring to get to it.

Crank sensor  :-\

I'm with DG on this one - I know it's a Corsa, but these symptoms with the flashing spanner light were present on my 2.6 when the crank sensor was on its way out.
I'd also check the easier and cheaper options suggested of the earth and battery condition, but the crank sensor (in my experiences of this type of fault) would be high on the list.

Or even the cam sensor?

I'm now looking at the estates wheels, thinking, "that'll keep the kosos busy cleaning them"

Spray them with bi-carb mixed with water, then hose off. ;)

That’s very red ;D

Nobody will drive into that


I quite like it, not sure about estate bit, but that’s down to my dislike of estates, despite their practicality.


Hope it serves you well

Mrs AA has a Hatchback SRi the same colour.

It's a Sports Tourer ;D

Thank you :y

So do I :) :y

It looks very nice Barry.  :y

It also looks huge for what was originally a mid sized car .... I wonder what it would look like parked next to an Omega/Carlton/Senator  :-\

Probably like a Dinky Car ;D

Are you using a good known multimeter? Some of the cheaper ones can be a bit inaccurate too and if it were say 14.6/7  that would be ok IMO.

The readings were taken with a Ring RSC608 8a SmartCharge with Battery Analyser.

The battery analyser part is excellent.
