If you had legal protection cover AND IF it wasn't your fault ...
you can put in a claim for "un-insured loses"
like a hire car till a replacement car can be found

So, this one had been 'divorced' ready to fit.

BUT, to save on coding costs, according to an astra H forum (same part number) you can disassemble the CIM, change the rotary connector and build it back up retaining the part of the CIM that pairs to the car.
That's hood then  :)
good luck with it

do you have your "car pass" with the unlock code for the ECU  :-\
IIRC Astra H CIMs are coded to the car ,along with many other modules ,fuse box etc
Also not sure if a replacement CIM has to be divorced before fitting  :(

When I win the lottery is not a sound long term plan.


for the cost of just 4 lotto tickets ,a 1 ltr bottle of Dex 3 can be purchased  >:D

I'm not a gambler-holic (I may have made hat word up  :P ), betting type ,

if I was , I'd put money (about £8  :o ) on DEX  3 (as recommended by lots of OOFers ) being a safe bet  :P

You could speak to OPIE OILS Lizzie , IIRC an OOF recommended supplier  :-\

Dex 3 is available at most places ,except the stealer  who's trying to sell you dex 6  ;D

Dex 3 is even on the shelf at HalFRAUDs

pretty much Everyone is saying use Dex 3 ,on a forum of owners who've been running RWD Vauxhalls re- badged Opels for years  ,

apart from your main stealer ,who doesn't stock Dex 3  ???

I've used Dex 3 in vauxhalls for years ,

 23 years in the Carlton, senny, omega platform ,without ANY issues .

BUT ... your car ,your choice  >:D

want me to save you some cardboard boxes for the PAS leaks Lizzie  :-\   ::)   ;D   :-[

this is assuming "someone" hasn't dumped coffee/tea/coke/cider or other liquid(including carpet shampooing)  over the crash module in the center console and corroded the module terminals  :-X

Thanks Dave, I will diagnose further as you suggest, although not until Wednesday as I need the car to behave tomorrow and Tuesday for drives to the office.

I honestly don't recall any liquid being spilled in the centre console but I a) am not the sole user and b) do have part ownership of an eight year old boy, so anything is possible. if I wanted to check the ECU, how/where would I find it?

IIRC under the center console by the handbrake ,so it's a console out job ,
plenty of videos on the youtube u'd think
