General Car Chat / Insignia 1.8 petrol

« on: 28 January 2020, 15:50:38 »

Good afternoon. I am looking for advice for a friend of mine who has a insignia and his brake lights are playing up.They are on constant when parked up and turned off (keh in pocket). They dont always come on when driving but then stay on. Pedal depressed half way lights go out then back on .once pedal is down the lights are on then once you release pedal half way lights go out. Once fully depressed everything is ok for a few seconds then brake lights come on even when j not touched the pedal.
 He has changed the switch and still the same.
 Even when you disconnect the switch near pedal the brake lights work intermittently but the lights dont stay on when parked up.
 Sorry for the long message but tried to give much info as possible. Am I right that the switch can not be adjusted
Many thanks mick

The comment made my missis laugh . Don't sound like a wheel bearing noisy and goes with the revs of the engine if u know what I mean .

General Car Chat / vectra sri 2.2

« on: 31 October 2015, 16:25:31 »

Hi all after selling the omega I brought a sri vectra 2.2 which to be fair the performance is good and fuel economy is good getting 450 miles out if a tank of petrol .
 The down side is that compared to the omega the ride is hard and the seating is uncomfortable for me .
 Anyway I have a issue with it when I'm driving in getting a wining noise from it even in reverse could this be the gearbox on its way out or could k put some stuff in to help quiet the noise down .
 The reason I'm asking is that I'm selling the car soon as I'm getting g something different and k want to try and get most of the money j brought it for . Only had it 4 month .
 Many thanks mick

I picked up a length of pipe from halfords cost 4 pound .
 Thin pipe stuck it down the neck of the fuel tank and squeezed it a few times to draw the fuel up straight into jerry can sand in to another car . Took some time as small thin pipe but worked a treat .
