Title: A quick Vauxhall Astra Reverse light question
Post by: Dave DND on 12 May 2010, 12:03:05
Not an Omega I know, but I`ve just bought swmbo one of the limited edition Astra Convertables.

2.2 on an 03 plate

No reverse lights, and I`m guessing its the reverse switch gone. As I can`t prise her out of the drivers seat at the moment for long, I`m only going to have a  few seconds to locate and diagnose said switch - so was wondering if anyone can give me a quick heads up as to where I`m going to find it?

 :-?

Yeah, I know, I`m waiting for the jibes now as I have finally succomed to buying a secondhand Vauxhall - Its a slippery slope - but it was such a deal I couldn`t refuse !!

It's towards the front of the gearbox on the passenger side on the model before ie Astra G if that's any use. Oval-ish plug.  ;)

Astra G is a good reliable well constructed lump....and there out lasting the competition well (focus and Golfs!)

On the 2.2, just make sure you keep on top of oil chanegs as they are chain driven cams

GM Semi-synth... 5k changes ;)

Well... If it were mine it would be as it's not exactly expensive if you DIY and use a Trade Card ;)
