Omega General Help / Re: dropped link

« on: 25 March 2012, 20:11:15 »

You can get a good pair from Vauxhallworldparts.com at a very reasonable price and fit them your self very easy to do but ensure you have both sides of the car jacked when you do. 

Why???

I've always changed 'em one side at a time with no subsequent issues 

To the Op - if your's are original fitting you will need an 18mm socket + breaker bar to undo.

Done mine twice now the first time did one side at a time very soon after rubber popped out of one. Advice from this wonderful forum was to have both sides jacked listen and set two been perfect.

General Car Chat / Re: How Do You Drive A Automatic..??

« on: 24 March 2012, 23:24:35 »

on a mk 4 astra auto if you stop for more than 2 seconds the box puts itself into neutral and back into drive when footbrake released   thought my astra was faulty until i looked in the handbook and its supposed to do that

All the FWD VX auto's with an AW box do this, apparently it saves fuel by .00000000000001% or something!

That makes it all worthwhile then lol

Omega General Help / Re: Steering noise what is it ??

« on: 26 February 2012, 20:32:51 »

most problems on front suspension will come thru wheel-could simply be the plastic around the steering wheel loose but without seeing your car can only go by your description 

Will take on board all what has been suggested and get underneath with in the next few days will let you know any findings thanks

As it comes through the steering wheel should i not be looking in that area as well

i would check your drop links first for wear or any play in them

New drop links and wishbones fitted about three months ago so should be ok you would think. Any thing else i should look for ??
